Mabel eats things she makes her very own self.

She will drink water that comes out of pots after the plants are hydrated and we have to scoop her up because we are afraid she will drink fertilzer. Thank God there isn’t any anti-freeze lying about because…

You just have to watch her. She’s lovely and vibrant but then again, she is a dog and we have to remind her to get out of the rain.

I am, and I repeat, not going to buy her bottled water, although in all fairness, I have bought her bottled water when we’ve been out piddling around in the car.

Okay, I’m a hypocrite.

And, sadly, I lied, but I’m not buying her any woof water. I know it goes to charity, but, no.

It’s water, campers.

Avery’s Beverages, the 103-year-old city company, began selling Woof Water, a bottled water for dogs and their companions, this past week.
“Woof Water is requested by name by more dogs than any other bottled water,” said Avery General Manager Rob Metz with a straight face. “It was inspired by Dog Drool, from our gross soda line.”
Metz said customers told him they wanted a water they could share with their pets. The result: Woof Water, a pure natural spring water packaged in half-liter bottles. Metz calls it “hydration for hounds and their humans.”

Hell, I’m paying nearly three dollars for a gallon of gas and spent $4.49 for a gallon of milk yesterday.

Mabel would drink out of the toilet, but alas, she’s too short. I’d fuss at her, but she honestly doesn’t listen on these matters.

Although I am intrigued by Dog Drool.

Just saying.

Dog-fighting in the home town.

Man, this burns me up. I’m not naive, I know these things happen, but it still just grosses me out.

Scout writes about the last game of the high school football season.

And it’s lovely.

Other than Squirrely, I don’t know of anyone who loves football anymore than Miss Scout.

The brain cells still are not operational. Does this happen once someone turns 40-ISH or is it just me? I’ll go with door number two.

Let’s go:

• Left Wing Cracker posted the Politics of Parsing. There are reasons I’m not fond of Hillary Clinton. This is one of them.
  
• The new design for Newser looks great. I recommend this site to everyone.
• The Wrinkles series from Kathy T. is back.
• I dig this blog a lot.
• I told you Daylights Savings time was evil, but NOOOOO, did you listen? No. Did you believe me? NO. You gonna listen to me now? Probably not. I get that.
• I’m glad too.
• Cool pics, but Klinde still has her shiner. Man, that was some shiner. The shiner from hell. Whoa.

Funniest quote I heard all week from Scratchy Throat. “I own half a cat. My roommate owns the other half.” I have no idea why this cracked me up, but it did. The other quote I heard that made me laugh is Bear the niece saying, “Momma, I will surely vomick.” Of course, it was said with Scarlett O’Hara splendor.

Life is a funny thing. And yes, there are different definitions of tossed salad. Clean your mind up.

Or not.
