I need one.
Comments:

Sarah, so you need a longer winter or some snow?

Oh I know I know! You need a snow laden bench!

The dog or the snow?  Never too late for another dog, but, HOPEFULLY, too late in 2010 for any more snow.  Please be too late!  No more, please!

Hah hah—aren’t you guys just so funny.

I need another cute puppy.  That much is clear.

Just stay away from the Humane Society. The last two times we went there we came looking for one kitten and both times we left with two!

[6] Posted by Matthew A (formerly mousestalker) on 03-11-2010 at 08:22 AM • top

I agree, Matthew A—the Humane Society is like a bookstore for me.  I avoid both like the plague.

We have two Airedales. This way can augment our exercise program by chasing each other around the yard. And around the living room with the couch as the pivot point. The price of dog food and veterinarian visits is more than offset by the health and laughter they bring us. If Airedales were humans they would be clowns. And no, we do not brush their teeth.

Clowns, hey? Well Deacon Dale, are they ordinands yet?

[9] Posted by Festivus on 03-11-2010 at 09:49 AM • top

Oh wait… you said if they were human. Sorry, I’m about 10 years ahead of the TEC trajectory.

[10] Posted by Festivus on 03-11-2010 at 09:51 AM • top

Tee hee—thanks for those descriptions, Dcn Dale.  I can visualize that behavior.  ; > )

#9. Festivus,

Clowns, hey? Well Deacon Dale, are they ordinands yet?

Festivus, you must keep in mind that Airedales are not truly a domesticated breed of dog. Therefore they are incapable of governance and would be unsuitable as ordinands. They live out an unrepentant Romans seven life.
