When I buy my dog a bone or rawhide chew, I get the giant economy size. Until recently, she worked on these things industriously and demolished them in short order. Now, she has taken to hiding them. She hid a bone so well, I finally concluded she had somehow let a dog from the outside get away with it. It made no sense, but, something had to have happened to it. Eventually, she began bringing it in, and finally she set to work in earnest on it. Over a week ago, I bought her a rawhide chew, which she licked once, and then promptly hid. After about three days, I discovered it beneath a rose bush, cleverly covered, but slightly exposed. I pulled it out and allowed her to take it. She went in the house for a few minutes, at first giving me The Look: "Is he going to take it away from me? If he makes a wrong move, I will be out the doggie door at top speed." She then settled on the floor to examine it a bit. After that, she hid it again. I have combed that yard over, several times, but simply cannot find it.
Then, I think back to when the TV remote vanished, and wonder if, someday, when I am searching for a bone, it will suddenly turn up. It will have been out there about two years.

Invite her to participate in your investment planning. She has a thrifty soul.
And she's not a "Scotty!"
Not a Scotty--as in "Beam me up, Scotty?"
This dog doesn't require beaming up. She's high enough on her own.
There is some justice in the world. Five years ago, we bought a Corolla for my wife. After we made the final payment, the state gave us a salvage title. We hired a lawyer to take Farmers Insurance to court and as of yesterday, they have agreed to refund the cost of the car. I feel they should owe more than that, because the car goes through tires like reyn goes through avatars, but we avoid a trial in Austin this way.

A little justice....a little karma...and it all comes out in the wash.

What time is it?
You look just like Kojak.
Kojak was bald. Curly's got some hair.

Shh. Be vewy vewy quiet. I'm huntin' wabbits.
Do you need any rain down there? We got lots to spare.
A storm of sorts is expected to drop quite a bit tonight. 60% probability. But, the temp been in the mid seventies, so I can't complain about weather. Are you still working?
Nope. Not since early October. Been looking though. Not much going on at the moment. I'm hoping to get something like "stock person", or something like that. I'm not really in a hurry though.
