I keep the plain side of a Gristede's receipt on the fridge as a grocery list. When I woke up, I found that D had added 3 items on the bottom:

mac & soy cheese
2 small onions
2 small summer squash
1 small green pepper
Muenster cheese
milk
TP
1 puppy
1 cheerios

;)

D is allergic so we shan't be getting one right away. I did see a Yorkshire terrier in the window of a pet store on 6th Ave & 12th St recently and I felt we were meant to be together. It ran up to the window as I approached and started scrabbling against the glass with its nails. Then it got bored and started to commune with the other dogs.

You know Coton De Tulear dogs shed very little and don't affect people who are allergic as much. They're small and good for apartment living. Plus they're cute as hell.

Just a thought.

Huh! That sounds good...D is always skeptical about the hypoallergenic dogs though. I grew up with a Cairn terrier, who's supposedly not allergenic, but D said she made him allergic. Oh well. Hopefully he will get shots someday!

Actually, goldendoodles & labradoodles - any of the doodle dogs are supposed to be "dander" free - must be the poodle in them!

Even if you do decide to go purebreed for dander reasons, don't forget about fabulous the breed rescue clubs.

Vegetable personalities

At the risk that you'll all think I'm nuts...but heck. I was getting cauliflower ready for dinner and it occurred to me that vegetables have different personalities. In my mind, anyway. Zucchini: the most agreeable of vegetables. It blends in with everyone, but it's never obsequious or false to itself. Sweet potatoes: the grandmother of vegetables. Very cozy and welcoming. Cauliflower: kind of bland, devoid of personality, but it could surprise you sometimes. Like a dull guy who occasionally tells a funny joke at the water cooler. Broccoli: feisty. Like a terrier. Spinach: kind of dour, but a loyal friend. Kale: has a fierce sense of individuality, but like spinach, is a loyal friend. Kale's affections last for life. Corn: this one is kind of a party animal. Corn is still drinking beer and making a mess when you'd like to be closing up. Tomatoes: a little sloppy. The kind of vegetable that needs to be reminded to tuck its shirt into its pants. Cabbage: not invited t

happy birthday e!

[Posted by Bearette's husband until she has Internet access] e was born today! 8 pounds even, a cute and healthy baby boy. He likes to stick out his tongue just a little, and move his mouth around. The hospital gave him a little white hat with a purple pom pom. Bearette is tired but happy. Pictures soon.

The return of Rudolph

Rudolph is our small furry friend, whom I've never seen. He visited the kitchen last night while D was up late. I know this because: 1) A large sonic device is plugged in right in front of the crack between the oven and the wall. The sonic devices in the living room have kept Rudolph away from there, his previous hideaway. Apparently the cracks between appliances and the wall are harder to reach. 2) The mop has been moved from the hall closet to the kitchen closet. This means D tried to capture Rudolph. 3) A turtle magnet I haven't seen in a while is now on the fridge. That means it fell behind the oven and D found it during his interactions with Rudolph. (I am praying hard that Rudolph is a boy, since we don't want to find many small Rudolphs.) What makes me feel better about this whole thing is that mice are apparently everywhere this winter; even my brother has had problems with them. And this little guy seems to stay behind the oven and only appears around 4 am (only D
