awwwww!! what a cutie!!! ted's a cool name!

Yep, definitely a Ted.

okay now the name might be henry.

this is going to be a tough one.

How about Hank? He's very cute, whatever you call him.

since we're looking at cute animals at the
moment

I've been swearing I was going to name my next cat "Mr. Papageorgio" ever since I saw Vegas Vacation. Even if it's a girl.

Ted or Henry. That is a tough one.

Thedry.

I think Larry is always a good name for a dog.

I also thought he looked a bit like a Bert.

ETA: Good-looking head on that pup!

bert is an excellent name. i may throw that into the pot.

it's all academic anyway, all of my pets are called "booboo" anyway. still, he needs a name for training purposes.


i've got a huge happy to share now. he did a peepee on the puppy mat instead of the rug and he seemed to do it as a deliberate choice. also, we did one successful jaunt around the neighborhood on a leash. i'll take these minor victories on day 1!

Just imagine, if he were a Nintendog, that would be a great day 1. Well, if he were a Nintendog, you'd have probably bathed him twice by now too.

Canines, kittens and human babies all fall under the BOOBOO curse!! (Bart)

I have no cute animal names, but I did sunburn both knees while paddling 22 miles yesterday in Teton nat'l park :D

physical exhaustion + natural beauty = happy camper

^Tetons. That reminds me of this cartoon that TIP posted the other day.


I'm a sad, pathetic little human being, really. :D

Then I thought of this cartoon, which is a highly accurate representation of what it's like to talk to a three-year-old.

When my son was about that age, he was digging in the fridge, and I told him to "watch out for butter snakes". (My parenting style is something like the dad in Calvin and Hobbes. :D ) We then had a long conversation about them, which I recorded for mirth purposes. My favorite part was when I asked what they eat, and he said, "Butter and lions."
