My dog became a damn mud puddle today at the park so I washed him and now he looks like this:


You know I'm lying. That's way too much work and silly besides. Felix is no longer dirt colored and that's the best we're gonna get. Besides, he hates getting a bath. He'll jump in the freezing cold lake, he'll hike happily in the rain for hours but a bath! Warm water! Soap! The evil dryer that sounds like ten thousand tornadoes! He stands in the tub quivering. On the list of dog torture is the bath.

Then there is the hair brush. Poodle hair is very curly. I'm sure Felix would be delighted to get completely gross; matted, stinky and unrecognizable as a show dog. Not that he's a show dog. His parents are show dogs. And If you've ever seen Best in Show, it's not far off the mark, as owners/breeders go. Breeders are different, if you know what I mean. Look at that haircut above. Who would do that to a dog? That haircut takes hours.

Tonight my neighbors and I will watch Dexter. If you don't know what I'm talking about, I won't encourage you. Unless you're fond of serial killers with a 'conscience' or code of ethics (only kill the bad guys). And Deb, the sister, has a terrific potty mouth.



See what I mean?

She stole my vocabulary.
I washed my dogs yesterday. They were not happy. They're dirty again. Why do I bother?

Dexter is brilliant....but too gory for me to watch alone!!

I loved this clip. I wish I were more Deb and less Pamela.

I love Deb though I got a little creeped out when I found out she was married to Dexter in the meat world. None of the killing and blood etc. creeped me out but that brother sister thing did. Then they divorced so I'm all cool with Dexter again and I actually do speak as The Deb speaks and I love this little vid.
