I have a new dog!!!

[http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=830547](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=830547)

If someone can counsel me on how pictures can be posted I’ll do my best. Keep in mind I’m a person who doesn’t have a cell phone. I’m a technological dunce.

Mauser is still curled up in front of the fan.

**Cupcakes** do you have an iPhone? If so, it’s pretty easy. It may be easy with Android too, I just don’t have one.

Step 1 either way is open a flickr account.

I am so happy for you!

My supper was Amish corn. \*\*FCD \*\*had corn and the leftover ribs. Ice cream later.

Meanwhile, the Nats are getting spanked big time and I’m making wigs. Laundry is done and life is good.

Puppeh yays **sari**! Any ideas for a name yet?

Ouch **nuts**! I hope your arm feels better soon.

Yay for getting Oscar / Mauser **baker**! Are you on Facebook? If so, take a pic with your digital camera, download it to your desktop and post it on FB. Or you could post it on a photo sharing site, then link. Pro tip: if you want it on FB for all Mumpers to see, post it on the SDMB FB page.

The pavers are down, spearmint transplanted and supper fixed. It turned out better than the last time (which was good), so, given the easy nature of this dish, it’s a keeper.

Ice cream has been ingested. I’ve come up with a couple of wig/hat combos - pics tomorrow if I remember. The Nats went down in flames - 13-0. Alas…

In the OP of the thread in which I’m announcing my new dog, I mention that Mauser is the name of a dachshund in Clive Cussler’s latest Dirk Pitt thriller, _Odessa Sea_. I enjoy reading Cussler’s work, it’s pure escapism, and in many of the works dachshunds appear, however briefly.

I don’t even own a cell phone, much less a digital camera. I promise I’ll find someone who knows how to take the pics and put them up.

I prefer to think its more about the quality and caliber of his owner. 😉

With just one little extra line, “Ohio” becomes “Oh no”!

The long way around is to take a film photo, have it processed, scan, save to your desktop and proceed from there.

Dunno. With a name like that, he’s bound to bolt.😃

Years ago,when he was a teenager, my bro managed to slice his finger open badly, while washing up. Shortly after, while he was still all bandaged up, we had a big family event. Of course, everyone kept asking him what happened, and he started answering:  
Bro: “Got in a knife fight”  
Relative: :eek: “WHAT?”  
Bro: “Yeah, got in a fight with a knife while washing up”  
Relative: :rolleyes:😛

All very amusing to a bored teenager, until he got to my… somewhat _interesting_… uncle, who got as far as the knife fight comment, replied “Oh, right” and wandered off. I think he still believes it, even though my nerdy bro never got closer to a knife fight than playing D and D.

My main problem today is that my wrist’s really painful if I try and lift anything heavy or twist it much, and I need to check on my bees in the next few days, to check for swarming signs. Anyone up for helping me go through the hive? I luckily just got a spare bee suit delivered yesterday…

Yay for the dog **Cupcakes**! Hope you get pics sorted soon!

Up. rah.

No plans for today, altho I do need to get some dog kibbles in the next few days, since I just dumped the last of it into the smaller container. We have a bucket with a lid that seals where we dump the whole bag, then a Rubbermaid container that holds a manageable amount and the scoop for measuring her daily doses. One is empty and the other is not-quite-full. Plus \*\*FCD \*\*needs more bath soap - which he never tells me till the last bar is nearly gone and he can’t find another in the closet… Anyway, I may need to go to WalMart today. So, as I said: rah.

We finally watched the first episode of the new season of House of Cards. It’s scary how close it comes to reality. Before November, Frank Underwood was an exaggerated fantasy. Now, not so much… :eek:

So, Happy Sunday, all! 😃
