If pugs could fly, they'd be smart and I'd be rich

Sophie has invented a new game. She gets under my two hundred pound leather sofa and starts to wimper because she can't get back out. If I were a patient person, I would wait until she figures that she can get out the same way she got in. I suspect that would take months. So I have to lift the couch to let her out. Is this the curly tail wagging the owner? Finnigan lost his red ball somewhere -- perhaps under the couch! -- and we went to Pet Valu to get him another one. The clerk shrugged and said they didn't have any. So we bought him this Kong instead. He likes to bring it to company after rubbing it with spit and dirt, then drop it on freshly washed and pressed pants. Subsequently we have lost all of our friends. Thanks, King Kong. Gord remains unimpressed with both of them.  

Finnigan and Sophie: Snoop dog and L'll Bow wow

It was my daughter Marissa's 24th birthday celebration yesterday. Wouldn't you know it? I forgot to charge my camera. No matter, she wasn't the star of her own party anyway. Finnigan kept barking in her ear and drooling on her clothes. Fortunately, Marissa knows enough not to wear her good clothes over to our house. Here is Finnigan giving me a stick. So much for those pants. When the party was over, the hounds decided to settle in for a small libation.   Too bad Sophie can't hold her wine. All in all, we had a fabulous time. Too bad Marissa and Jeff missed the after party. But they were on hand when Finnigan decided to do his favorite party trick.
