A Foolish Figure

...my floor doesn't stay clean for more than 30 minutes at a time:



Because out of the 800 square feet available to him, Arthur chose to sleep in the 6 inch chinchilla-bedding-moat around the chinchilla cage (they just keep kicking hte bedding out) and then to move to a clean area and rub the bedding all over the floor...

*sigh*

HE STEALS MY SOCKS.

I FIND THEM ALL OVER THE APARTMENT.

Good thing for him he's so cute!

:-P

Why does my ridiculous wookie-descended dog prefer toilet water flavored with clorox-2000-flushes-type stuff to tap water with (much needed, and surprisingly effective) minty dog breath freshener?

You may say it is that he doesn't like mint, but he hunts old dental floss with almost as much dedication as butter.  Yes, those are my dog's two favorite things as far as I can tell.  

My dog makes me seem almost normal, and that is the truth.

Vacuuming is more entertaining when your second-cousin-to-a-wookie canine thinks the vacuum cleaner is out to get him.

Vacuuming is less entertaining when your second-cousin-to-a-wookie canine rolls around and rubs his furry face into the just-vacuumed rug.

So what to do?

I saw this on kcscribbler 's page, and thought it looked like fun.

I'm not really good at making wishlists...I can never think of things.  :-)  But here goes!

So, the benefit of being a complete pushover, and allowing your fluffly labradoodle to sleep on the bed with you, is that it generates a lot of heat.  Which means LOWER HEATING BILLS!

What I want to know is, where does all that energy come from?  Arthur is such a nut during the day, and he  doesn't eat that much.  Where do the calories to create such warmth come from?

Or does this question just reveal that I never did take biology at an advanced level?  (Did take physics though, and I know all about the law of conservation of energy...which seems to apply here.)

I think Arthur's afraid of the camera:

Seriously, Dante Shepherd is comic genius. 

Here are a few samples, to prove it:

If you don't think this next is funny, you have clearly never driven through Ithaca, NY.



And finally, this is only really funny if you have a dog.  :-D

My dog, Arthur, is a labradoodle who hasn't had a haircut for over six months.  When most people look at him, they think he looks like a bear, because he's big, and black, and hairy.  (Those people did not see the 135 lb newfoundland named Hagrid that we met at the dog park the other day.  That thing could EAT a bear)  However, half of the time when I look at him, I think he looks more like a dinosaur.  It's one of those things that you often have to see live, but here are a few pictures:

Which brings me to my question:  Would it be possible to put that last picture in a sort of "frame" (digital, of course) so it looked like it was in the "objects in mirror may be closer than they appear" car mirror?  I don't know how to do that kind of thing, but I think it would be fun.  :-D
