It's time for yet another story that is only amusing if you aren't me! As you may have noticed, it's spring. The sun is shining, the birds are singing, and leaves are growing on the trees. Well, most of the trees. The two trees in our yard, unlike every other plant in the neighborhood, have remained bare while everything else turned green. After the thaw Sadie and Tango dug up their roots and ate them, so Mom's been afraid the trees are dead. This afternoon she sent me out to the backyard to see if there were any signs of buds on them. The puppies couldn't go out with me because they were spayed on Thursday and aren't supposed to run around in case they tear out their stitches, so they were sitting in the door waiting for me. I went and looked, and it seems the trees survived the pups. I went back and opened the door to go in, and Tango took a flying leap at the door just as I opened it and I got nailed in the eye. Amazingly I don't have a black eye, but my face still hurts four hours later and my glasses are all messed up.

The point of the story? If anyone out there eats dog, I can hook you up with some doggie-veal.
