Heard on a local morning radio show during a discussion about smoke-free amusement parks.
Host 1: I drive by Westvaco every day and that chokes me up more than anything else!
Host 2: Aren’t they one of our sponsors?
Host 1: Oh, crap.
She’s a couch potato! She’s a tornado!
It’s been a couple of days now, and I think Nala seems to be settling in. She’s definitely got personality. One minute she’s a couch potato sprawled out on the kitchen floor taking up as much space as she possibly can, the next minute she’s tearing through the living room chasing a ball and almost colliding with the walls in the process. And just as suddenly she stops dead and stares at what’s going happening on the TV. She heads off to the corner and sulks if we punish her, but happily comes when we offer a treat.
She likes the short little walks outside we take her for. She’ll carry her end of the leash in her mouth while she’s walking. We probably need to stop that and replace it with a bone or something for her to carry around instead of the leash.
Meet Nala
This is Nala, the newest member of our family. We picked her up yesterday from the breeder, Fortune Labrador after a 10 week wait. She’ll be 11 weeks on Monday. Isn’t she just so cute looking? That’s a Puppy Kong chew toy she’s trying to figure out.
Her first night with us was a little bit stressful (as expected), but she’s doing all right now. She’s learning the lay of the kitchen, but still cries a bit when she’s left alone. The hard part is trying to figure out the difference between the ‘Give me attention’ whine and the ‘Gotta go to the bathroom’ whine.
She hasn’t quite figured out how to play when she’s the leash, but we’re working on that. She’s young, so it doesn’t take much to tire her out. A few short training sessions teaching her Sit and Down, and then a short trip outside for a bit of a walk pretty much does it for her at this point. So far she’s a lot of fun to have around, except for the 2AM bathroom break. We’re really looking forward to when she’s a little bit older and we can teach her more interesting tricks.

Beer and Captain Crunch do not a tasty breakfast make. Even when you’re hung over.
Especially when you’re hung over. But it’s a combination you can only come up with when you’re hung over.
Really, really hung over.

Web enabled ATMs. Running Windows no less. Can’t you just see the crackers rubbing their hands in glee over this? Plus an upgrade from DES to TripleDES! Woohoo!
Should be interesting to see how they work out and stand up to crackers.
