Hubs and I are seriously considering taking out vet to court.
Look at the adorability quotient of this puppy.
She is off the freaking charts! Be honest now. You are petting the screen aren’t you? She is Just.That.Cute!
So anyway.
Last night we dropped Smokey off at the vets. She was to be spayed this morning. They asked for our home phone number just in case there was an emergency. So at 9:18 the phone rang and I freaked out. Of course, It was the vet. Apparently Smokey had retained some of her baby teeth (her top two canines to be exact) and seeing as her adult teeth had already fully emerged, did we want the vet to take them out for us? I said yes.
So that was just after nine. I gave them an hour and then I called to check up on her. She was still asleep. I gave them another hour and called again to see what was happening. She was awake but very groggy. She’s good, the vet said, she’s a champ!
So I waited another hour and called again. She’s fine, they told me, but we have a lot of patients to see today, we’ll call you if anything changes.
So lets count. Use fingers if you have to. I talked to them at nine, ten, eleven and then again at 12. Each time I called, Smokey was doing fine.
Now, Fast forward four hours. Hubs finally gets home after what seems like a bazillion hours at work. We hop in the car to go pick up our pup.
Fuckers. Do they think I am stupid or something? We took in a goddamn puppy and they gave us back a fucking lamp!
Yup. Definitely gonna see their asses in court!
I present for your consideration this log. Although new to the log collecting community, I was fortunate enough to acquire this log from a venerable collector/dealer. I believe he received the log from the original owner.It should be noted that this log is a genuine wooden log, and to the best of my knowledge, comes from a tree. I have been told that similar logs have been sold at auction for prices up to and even exceeding forty-two or forty-three dollars.
The log is available for pick-up in the Los Angeles area, or will be shipped to your location in appropriate air-cushioned, double boxed packaging.
FAQ:
Q: How old is this log you are selling?
A: If you are referring to the age of the tree from which this log originated, it appears to be between 29 to 31 years (fairly young for a log). If you are…more
Q: Will this log work with Windows XP?
A: That is a silly question. Nothing works with Windows XP. Thanks for your interest.
Q: Is the log made of firewood? if not, do you have any firewood logs?
A: Hello - I’m not familiar with “fire” wood. Although new to the log collecting community, I have heard stories about wealthy collectors…more
Q: Does it work?
A: Yes, the photos in the listing are of the actual log being auctioned, not catalog shots. You are seeing the log in use in these photos.
This log actually SOLD for 4.11 PLUS 18 dollars in shipping. I live very close to a whole forest full of logs. If you are in need of one, drop me a line and we can work something out!
I showed him the “see through” monitor. He thought it was funny until I Told him I must have broken the computer. Now he *sob* can’t play his kindergarten games. My bad.

This morning, thinking ahead to the fact I would need a few hours without my contacts in to give my poor burning eyes a break, I dressed my children in Brightly colored shirts. One red, one blue and one yellow. This way, even without clear vision I would know who was doing what.
I’m SMRT like that.
But little jackasses stole my contacts - which means they moved them six inches to the right and covered them with a face cloth - and switched shirts with each other while I was napping.
Not so fun, really, when the shoe is on the other foot.
“Mom. How come when Smokey has her collar on, her hair poofs up?”
” ‘Cus her mane is growing in. We told you all about that.”
“Her mane?”
“Yea. Just like a lion… And when it is fully grown in, she will be all lion. Then she will eat deers, antelopes, people, that kind of thing”
“….. . . .really??!”
“Yes. We told you all of this. wait. Let me show you a picture”
“See. This dog’s mane is fully grown so she is all lion now.”
“But. She isn’t big enough to be a lion.”
“Well no, they don’t turn into lions. They just think they are lions and start acting like them. The dog in the picture didn’t turn yellow did it?”
” No. But…. will she really eat us?”
“Not if she can’t catch you. In the summer time we will start to train -”
“We’re gonna train her to not to eat us?”
“No, we’re going to start training you guys to run faster. If she can’t catch you sooner or later she will give up. Besides, her mane has just started to grow in, so you have lots of time to train. I wouldn’t worry too much over it.”
Kids are SO trusting.
