Commenter HT made an executive suggestion in light of my lack of provocative blogging today: more dog pics. I have to get Rupert to "assist" me in putting more interesting items of apparel on Sunny later, when I am good and drunk, but this will do for now. I give you Sunny doing her most favorite thing of all time: catching flying bits of delicious dead pig.
I like the other suggestions, too. Lolcats in particular.
By the way, that plaid mattress on the floor? It's a special orthopedic doggy bed for Digger. I'm not as white trash as my living room makes it look. Close though. Also, I realize I have a lot of Bad Things going on with my decor. Mexican blanket, plaid doggy bed, striped rug - it's a big ol' pot of mess. I own it.

Up until a couple of months ago, our dog could catch an M&M thrown at Nolan Ryan velocities, but her cataracts are getting worse, and now we often have to lead her to the food.
I mean, we never had food bounce twice, and now she can't find it. Getting old sucks... for the dog, too.

Sorry, I had to make fun of your couch. If I were there, I'd piss on it to make it more authentically Mexican.

Don't bother explaining your decor. You have dogs.
I long ago discovered that you can either have nice furniture or you can have dogs but you can't have both!
My couch doesn't act crazy-ass happy when I walk through the door no matter how long I've been away, so I choose dogs!

Hey I used to have a poncho that looked just like your couch slip cover. I had the matching sombrero and everything, but I buried my dignity in it, and then I sobered up. Tequila can be a real bitch that way.
I love how Sunny doesn't have to even stand up to snatch the fleshy goodness from mid air. She has pork chunk grabbing down to a science.

Dude, the fact that you have two dogs, both of whom are bigger than you are, living in your house with you says waaaaaay more about your level of white-trashiness than the state of your living room ever could.
Your favorite brother,

I'm starting the rumor right now. Rick Lucas keeps Pomeranians. He says they're so very very chic and not at all trashy.

" I realize I have a lot of Bad Things going on with my decor. Mexican blanket, plaid doggy bed, striped rug - it's a big ol' pot of mess. I own it."
Looks like a real home to me. More concern for the creature (and creatures!) comforts than trying to impress someone from the "home and garden" show. We've got friends who have snow white carpet! Don't walk in the living room please, they say. They have a stainless steel sink in the kitchen but use the sink in the washroom so as no to get water spots on the kitchen sink!!!!! Every time they use their stainless steel grill in the backyard, it has to be wiped down on the outside and INSIDE! These are truly good people but they (she) gets so wrapped up on the image of a home that they have forgotten what a home is! You're place looks fine to me.

Zarba,
Chocolate is no good for the puppies, sure they'll eat it but something in their system won't let them process it and it can do harm to them. I know it takes a bit to actually cause death but why not give them liver treats or something that's cheaper and actually is beneficial to their health?

Theobromine.
They can't metabolize it effectively and it hangs around in their bloodstream until it becomes toxic.

My mom's none-too-bright Mini Pinscher once got into a bag of semi-sweet chocolate chips and nearly died. She was staggering around like a drunk. Especially with a small dog, chocolate is toxic.
Now pork, on the other hand...good stuff.

Fortunately, my chocolate(heh) lab did not know how to unwrap the fun-sized Snickers bars we had for the kids last Halloween. She ate the entire bag. We found them intact. All over the back yard. Ewww.

Janna, That's the way Labs are. She was trying to be helpful by pre-wrapping, thereby making the offending substance easier for you to pick up!

Rick - don't make me tell these people about the number of cats in YOUR house. I will do it! Even though it reflects poorly on me, being your sister and all.
HT - he DOES have pomeranians. Little fluffy white ones with lavendar bows in their hair. Also a trio of chihuahuas, which he has trained to dance on their hind legs to ABBA music while my brother giggles and snacks on Cheese Puffs in between bong hits and Old Milwaukee Lites. It's really sad.

Rick runs a cathouse? I thought those had been outlawed in that neck of the woods!
