The Joys of Having A Dog

So, yesterday I walk into the living room and I notice there's something white on the floor under the coffee table. I'm a bit apprehensive cause this is where Harley likes to bring things to chew on....his food, treats, chewies, toys, etc., etc. And that's o.k. But, then, that's also where he brings things he's not supposed to have. Upon closer inspection, I see that it is a piece of plastic, two pieces of plastic in fact. This puzzles me because he has never been one to go around chewing on or damaging things. So I pick it up and I realize that he has gone into my purse, and removed from it this cute little plastic container that holds my ear plugs (yes, I carry around ear plugs! Never know when I'll be trying to sleep in an airplane). Not only that, but he then proceded to chew the top off and yes, you guessed it, ate my ear plugs! Oh, no, I didn't bother looking around to see if they were on the floor somewhere. I knew! Any way, vengace was mine, you see, cause today I was sitting upstairs playing around on the computer, see. And that's when I heard it! The pre-vomit sound! You know the one! So, I go running down the stairs cause I don't know where the event is going to take place. He's usually kind enough to do it in his cage, but I just don't know, you know. And by the time I get there it's already happened, and thankfully in his cage. And then, I saw them! There in the middle of it all were my two ear plugs! Ah, the joys of having a dog!

Family Portrait

Harley's little friend, Kylie, stayed with us last week. I took a bunch of pictures of them cause they're so damn cute. This one is my favorite! It looks like they were taking a family portrait or something. I laugh every time I look at it. It just kills me!


I'm currently reading The Catcher in the Rye by J.D. Salinger. I'm enjoying the book so far. The main character, Holden, is realy sarcastic and things get on his nerves a lot. Kinda reminds me of myself. hehe.

Update: Finished the book. I was surprised at how much I liked this book. It's not suposed to be funny, but it made me laugh because I could totally relate to some of the stuff Holden says in the book. There are some great quotes that cracked me up! (see below)

"What really knocks me out is a book, when you're all done reading it, you wished the author that wrote it was a terrific friend of yours and you could call him up on the phone whenever you felt like it."
Holden Caulfield from The Catcher in the Rye in Chapter 3

That's a quote from the book, though after doing some reading about Salinger, I don't think I would care for him much in person, but the old boy sure can write. I look forward to reading more of his books.



Some Of My Favorite Quotes From The Catcher in the Rye:

"Sensitive. That killed me. That guy Morrow was about as sensitive as a toilet seat." Holden Caulfield in Chapter 8

"I think if you don't really like a girl, you shouldn't horse around with her at all, and if you do like her, then you're supposed to like her face, and if you like her face, you ought to be careful about doing crumby stuff to it, like squirting water all over it. It's really too bad that so much crumby stuff is a lot of fun sometimes. " Holden Caulfield in Chapter 9

"I'm always saying "Glad to've met you" to somebody I'm not at all glad I met. If you want to stay alive, you have to say that stuff, though. " Holden Caulfield in Chapter 12

"Certain things they should stay the way they are. You ought to be able to stick them in one of those big glass cases and just leave them alone. I know that's impossible, but it's too bad anyway." Holden Caulfield Chapter 16

"If a girl looks swell when she meets you, who gives a damn if she's late? Nobody." Holden Caulfield in Chapter 17
