Like, majorly overdue.

What an abomination. I've not written forever. At first it was because I didn't really feel like doing anything, and now, it seems to be a matter of doing (almost) too much. The latter is better. The former is a waste of air, a waste of consciousness, a waste of life.

Um, yeah. Enough with the waxing philosophical stuff.

Sean got a puppy a few weeks ago. Go look on the last page of my photos to see him. He has been christened Dexter. He is a Jack Russell Terror(ier). Naw, he's acutally a good boy. Sean and Nichelle are very committed to socializing him and teaching him good manners. He has very symmetrical markings, which I like. He is also the short-legged variety, which I also like. The way I see it, if you're going to spend ($$) on a purebred dog, let the breed be fairly distinguishable. Heaven knows Jack Russells, Rat Terriers and Fox Terriers have enough ambiguity: wire-hair, smooth coat; and that combination coat. Long legs, short legs, flat heads, roundish ones, ugly, cute, and enough with the ambiguous terrier stuff already.

Anyway, the point is, Sean has a puppy.

And he's cute. So is the puppy.

And there are so many vet techs among my blog-reading populace that I implore you to go look at his pictures, regardless of whether you want a puppy-fix or you don't and whether you're a vet tech or aren't.

Damn it, Dexter is family.

I've changed Jasper's inhaled meds over to Seravent, which lasts longer. I'm trying very hard to get him off that dreaded oral prednisone. Seriously, aside from exacerbating his already-enormous appetite, he whizzes like a racehorse. When I clean his litter box, I haul out clumps the size of Oahu.

*Oh God*

In the middle of watching Rainman on WGN, there's a station break with a commercial about "male enhancement". What the hell is with that? How much do they pay these guys to do the commercials? They've got to be right up there with hemorrhoids and feminine odor. Blaghh!!

Well, wasn't this a nice, repulsive little fireside chat? Okay, not "fireside".

It's Memorial Weekend.

But you get the idea.

Signing off.
