[This](http://i20.photobucket.com/albums/b212/RueDeDay/brody.jpg) is my dog Brody. Isn’t he cute? Oh no! [Bad dog!](http://i20.photobucket.com/albums/b212/RueDeDay/badbrody.jpg) Those were my favorites too! Maybe he’s just too excited. He needs to relax. Maybe a trip to [the beach](http://i20.photobucket.com/albums/b212/RueDeDay/brodybeach.jpg). (In close-up.) Great! Now I have to [wash](http://i20.photobucket.com/albums/b212/RueDeDay/brodybath.jpg) the sand out. But that’s OK. He likes baths! ---

A Brody’s tongue is 18" long and prehensile… ---

I’m sure it is our fault. We weren’t specific enough. **Rue** , we meant pictures of \*your \* puppy. Of course, I wouldn’t entirely rule out the possibility of an imaginary friend. Although I’m not sure anyone would or could make up the poop story… **VB** , you are totally amazing! Clothes fitting loser, I imagine–isn’t that a great feeling? ---

That’s a common attribute in puppies **Sunspace**. Sheesh, don’t you know nuthin’? Here’s another [Brody picture](http://i20.photobucket.com/albums/b212/RueDeDay/brodydog.jpg). I don’t think this one captures his Inner Canine. ---

Well, it’s about time, **Rue!** He is a little cutie pie. You can see “mischief” written all over that one. Watch out for him! Great news **Bobbio!** I must say however, that blenderized string cheese and ham just sounds, well, ugh! Sorry! Is it Friday yet? ---

I haven’t seen a single player piano in YEARS and it seems that everyone here has not only seen one but has moved one! I think that I’ll continue to stay far away from them. Doesn’t sound like moving them is much fun. > [@swampbear](#): > > taxi, sweetie, trust me a privacy fence round the back yard is a good thing. That way, if nekkidness ensues, the neighbors don’t know. More :eek: but then after some thought a little 😃 too. Yup, I can see now how a privacy fence could be a good thing. Hmm… I probably shouldn’t be musing on activities that would require a backyard privacy fence while I’m at work, should I? :eek: ---

Now that’s a cute puppy. Does it have any brothers or sisters? Wait, now I remember the puppy picking adventure. Yes, he does. I had the hot Italian sausage last night (down **swampy**! That’s not what I meant.) I need to work on figuring out the right components for the sauce. I guess I could call my friend who owns a restaurant back home. ---

He is a cutie, though. Can anyone capture his Inner Canine, though? I understand that puppies are pretty frisky. My friends had five Siberian Huskies–beautiful creatures–and I don’t think _anyone_ could capture their Inner Canines, or any other part of them, unless they wanted to be captured. Those dogs could _run_. And yes, they liked to sleep outside in the snow. My friends were training them to the sled, but unfortunately never got very far. Other things intervened. ---

He’s the Administrator for a Home Health Agency. He gets to do all the admin. stuff but also, if they are short staffed, he takes calls. They are short staffed a lot but this was an all of a sudden thing, that ol’ meanie up and quittin’ like that. ☹ He’s also an RN. ---

Way too much cuteness in one small package, **Rue**. I can see future shenannigans gleaming in his eyes. The register incident was just the beginning. Well, I’m all depressed. I had to cancel on the get together we were going to have tomorrow in San Diego. This happens to me way too often. Absolutely nothing for months and then two parties or weddings or whatever on the same day. It seems the universe is not aware that it revolves around _me_, and should submit a schedule for my approval before any plans are made. **Vunderbob** , do I want to know how you blenderized ham? And don’t you go pushing things young man. I know of someone who had Very Bad Things happen when she ate foods she shouldn’t. Of course, you undoubtably have more sense than to eat stuffed porkchops six days after the bypass.
