This month has flown right by, but not without some learning experiences. Here are some things I learned:

  • Never give Schr?die flea medicine while wearing a decent shirt; she still has back claws.
  • There is a limit as to how much milk one can ingest in the span of three minutes.
  • High school kids that play in pit bands are really cool.
  • The Comfort Inn is not that comfortable.
  • It can take 50 minutes to drive 5 miles when there is night construction on I-95.
  • Always make a backup of a database table before you do anything to it.
  • Agatha Christie is still a good read.
  • Some vampire cable shows should never have been made.

Aw, shut up Dot

Animals, Family, Humour, Life, Pets

Why do we keep picking the barkiest dogs available? And we have a mini-schnauzer to boot. They’re supposed to be noisy, but not annoying, the book says.

Well, let me tell you, Dot is ANNOYING. It is 8am, and she is howling. And barking. And whining. “Ruht-roooooooooooo”. Over and over. The kids are at the bus stop, which is in front of our house, as we live on a corner on a busy road. They are there every day. They sing. They talk. They laugh. They’re real cute! But if Dot’s awake when they are there, she howls and barks. And heaven forbid Schr?dinger walk by Dot’s cage during all this. Then Dot barks louder and furiously while scratching at her cage door.

Over the weekend, one of the little girls in the neighborhood came down the street, probably looking for a playmate. Vin was out in the garden, and Dot was out with him. Dot heard the girl and started barking like mad. Through the fence, Vin heard the girl say “Aw, shut up Dot”.

See Dot. Even the kids think you’re annoying.
