Bite me

Posted by Gringo in household hazards, pets

Merry Christmas Eve everyone (those who celebrate Christmas, that is). The momma let me open one present on Christmas Eve. It’s from my cousin, Linnane! (shhhhh…don’t tell her that I got her a Webkinz black poodle!)

I was so happy and was having a blast ripping it to pieces, but then….the momma actually took it away from me! It was made from a soft type of rubber and she was afraid the small pieces would lodge into my intestines. She said that the vets who work on the holidays are the ones who drew the short straw and are usually overworked. But I’m still sad that I could only play with my present for less than 10 minutes. Oh well, I guess that it’s better to not have emergency surgery on Christmas.

Listened to: Peace On Earth/ Little Drummer Boy from the album “The Best Christmas Album In The World… Ever! [Disc 2]“ by Bing Crosby & David Bowie.

Upcoming adventure

Posted by Gringo in Science/Tech, Superdog Sunday, mistaken identity

In a couple of days the momma and I will take a short road trip to visit a friend/colleague of hers to work on one of her projects. At first I was confused when the momma told me that her friend has a chocolate lab. The momma works in a lab so I naturally thought they had some research going on that involved chocolate. Could chocolate somehow prevent or ameliorate neurodegeneration? I’m sure that would make a lot of people very happy (and the momma surely would win the Nobel Prize)! However, I just got some even better news. His chocolate lab is actually a dog!

Just look at that cool way he wears his “slobbage”! When the momma and her friend are at work, us two dog dudes will be hanging out all week together. I’m way psyched about that!
