“He is a very good dog. Very sweet. He can’t walk on the leash that well and he doesn’t know sit, but he is nice. Nobody here knows him and we can’t keep him, because he bared his teeth at our daughter, and our dogs tried to kill him through the window, but he is really a nice dog. So please don’t kill him.”
Me to Multnomah County Animal Control officer as Gordon turns over the stray dog he found last night.
It is a no-kill shelter, if no owner is found, the chocolate lab will be adopted out.
“You built a deck for your dogs?”
Multnomah County Animal Control officer
“Yeah, we spent all evening on it. He put astroturf on it, so ‘it would be nice and soft’ for the dogs to lay on. I said, ‘Let’s get a nice outdoor rug’, but he said no. It looks kind like those golf practice putting holes.”
Me, to Jeaniene Frost
“Luka Brazi, if you don’t stop barking, I will girlify you!”
Me, to Hound of Baskervilles.
“I’ve got you diet root beer! They were two big bottles for a dollar, so the quality is questionable.”
Gordon, upon returning from the store.
“So did you drop Kid 2 off?”
Me, to Gordon, as he walks in after dropping Kid 2 at her acting practice.
(Here is my sign.)
“Here it is. If it’s broken, it’s not my fault.”
Kid 1, in response to inquiry about the location of digital camera.
“I felt numb.”
Me, attempting to summarize Kate’s emotions in regard to her mother’s way of dealing with people.
“Put that Down!” me, about 40 times, to Moose today. That was our day. Thanks for the interesting tidbit re Kate and her mom.
whaaaa? Kate’s mother brainwashed people? and here I thought she was a nice, sweet girl who got caught in a bad situation…
aww, poor Kate. I’d feel numb too. and sad. and disappointed that I could never ask her about the reasons for her actions.
Exactly. I was all ready to think of Kate’s mom as a victim. I might be forced to rethink that?
Where is choc lab?
Sounds like you had a funny Friday!
I have to say though, I did slightly do tunnel vision to the last point about Kate.
O_O
You have intrigued me and possibly ignited more speculation.
Me Today… “Cotter! Pee goes in the P-O-T-T-Y !! NOT on the FLOOR!!!”
the trials and tribs of Potty Training
Me (talking to the spouse on his way home from work): Dinner is your choice. Immensely healthy baked fish or take-out Chinese.
Him: How many egg rolls do you want?
Evil grin. Works every time.
Love the dog’s putting green, btw.
totally love the dog decking – i need to find to find some astro turf
So we find out about Kare’s mom in the next book? Hurrah! I’ve been curious about her… Thanks for the little hint!
i fear that i have made kid 1 leery of cameras. i feel horrible guilt about that. please tell her that she’s adored.
choke…
Does that mean I “boyified” my poor Mitzi because the thought of potentially having numerous Mitzoids running around the house out of control was terrifying?
the dog deck is awesome! your dogs reside like kings there
Wait–Kate’s mom? *grins* I’ve noticed that Erra and Voron’s descriptions of Im don’t add up.
I love the deck for the doggies. It’s makes me feel better about stuff I’ve done for our
kitties:) I love the rootbeer thing– it sounds like something I would do because I am
so fricking cheap. LOL
Nice doggy deck!
Sneaky author inserting comment bound to send us demented…err I mean devoted fans in a tizzy!
8-p
Hope you had a good weekend!
Love your dog deck. Aren’t they lucky?
You are such a TEASE. EviL EVIL woman. When is Kate 5 due to be released so I can sit and start staring at the calendar?
Glad you had what sounds like a reasonably nice day.
Now…what is that about Kate’s mom? ::innocent smile:: Thank you for the tease.
