A Forum for Talking Animals

And I quote...

My Grandma Kate and John went to the movies the other day and she had this to say about it in her most recent email:

"John and I saw the movie EIGHT BELOW the other day. Very good movie and based on a true story."

That's right, people! Eight Below! Let's here it for dog movies that not only keep us riveted at the edge of our seats, but allow us to leave the theater with a warm fuzzy feeling that only a Disney animal film can provide!

In other dog related news... I am home from work today and, apparently, this neighborhood is a very sad place for canines during the week. As I sit at my computer in the dining room I am currently listening to no less than four dogs howling for some human companionship (and a maybe a little bit of extra kibble).

To the dogs of Eight Below and Molokai Road... I love you.

Werner Meyer-Scholz

Here is to a good dog, with a big heart, whom I had the pleasure of talking to on a regular basis. I love you, Werner.

Single again...

Well, for the night anyway...Ryan is off having a fun "boys only" weekend with my family in South Lake Tahoe. I'm sure that he is either: a. Drinking, b. Gambling or c. Drinking and gambling right now. Anyway, seeing as I don't have any external genatalia, I was left at home and have been trying to occupy my time accordingly. Here's what I did today during my wild 24 hours of alone time:
1. Got up
2. Read a book
3. Decided item #1 was a decision made in hast and went back to bed
4. Got up (again)
5. Had some Special K (the one with the red berries--surprisingly satisfying)
6. Took a shower
7. Cashed in $131.50 worth of coins at the bank. (I got to put my shoebox o' coins in a cool bullet proof box--reason #127 that I'm glad we are moving--and felt a sudden rush of relief that they didn't stick the bomb squad on me when I initially came in with the tattered shoebox)
8. Walked around the mall to find a gift for my Heather. (Was going for the "I'm so cool that I shop alone" look but ended up with the "I have epilepsy" look because I kept retracing my steps to have a second look at certain items and actually left and then returned to a store within a 30 second period)
9. Came home and watched "Jack"--the Saturday movie on channel 4.
10. Cried at the end of "Jack" and then looked up Progeria online to see if I could make a donation.
11. Shut my computer off in horror when I found out that you can develop adult onset Progeria in your mid to late twenties.
12. Went and bought packing paper.
13. Packed the guest room.
14. Exhausted from all my alone time I took a nap.
15. Slept right through the sneak preview of "Eight Below"--Disney's new heartwrenching tale of a man and his special bond with his sled dogs.
16. Kicked myself
17. Sat down to blog about my fun-filled single life.

Thank God that I have Ryan. Just sayin.
