Okay. I was walking our 35-pound, blond smiley half Chow-half Eskimo dog this morning (which was nice--I haven't felt up to walking her the last few mornings). She pounced on something, then leaped back. I thought she'd been stung by a bee, but she pounced again and when she jumped back, I saw it was a grasshopper. She watched it jump, then went over and sniffed it carefully from head to toe. After that she wagged her tail, went in front of it and MADE A PLAY BOW. Yes, my dog asked a grasshopper if it wanted to play. She is such a sweetheart--she loves every cat and dog she has ever met. And now insects.
Well, it's just good to know that when the chips are down and things look grim you'll feed off the girl who loves you to save your own ass!

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Cutehead doggie.

DANA: Dude, we're the Buffistas. We invented redundant.
VICTOR: Bears repeating.
GANDALFE: If I recall and remember correctly, we also created it.
DANA: This is what I'm saying.
Heh.
