That all sounds wonderful. We spent last evening with our Japanese friends. We had udon, soba, tempura, inarizushi, and gyoza. It was awesome. I did feel bad that we didn't have mochi this time.

We're having crab-stuffed talapia.

It's not New Years and Football without Pizza. And since my wife is working, I'll have two large Pizzas to myself.

So, the dog ate our dinner. The whole thing. Dinner was on the table but we were all out of the room for some reason and we heard a crash. And, well, you know.

I decided pizza sounded good.

Could be worse, I suppose: My parents still swear their dog ate their wedding cake.

Sheesh, what kind of dog do you have?

BarbaraGordon · 01-03-2007, 02:21 AM

She's a Golden Retriever. Named Goldie, cleverly enough. Of course, she didn't have time to down the whole thing before we got to her, but the dinner suddenly seemed rather, um, unappetizing, if you will. So, Goldie got a holiday dinner.

Besides, if you know anything about my cooking, you'll understand that Jason was probably relieved to have an excuse to dial Dominos, anyway.

Aha. I figured it had to be a big dog.

We had a house-trained vizsla when I was a kid. That dog was brilliant and was loved like one of the family. I still miss him.

He used to sit under the dinner table and when Mom turned her head we would slip whatever food we didn't want to eat under the table and he would slurp it up. We also taught him how to ride horses and motorcycles with us. You would just pat the gas tank or the saddle and he would hop right up and sit in front and love every second of the ride. Of course, he was also an outstanding bird dog.

I had always preferred tiny dogs, but Jason talked me into a Golden.

Goldie has turned out to be an excellent therapy dog for Thomas. I had heard that some dogs will naturally adapt to their owners' needs, but I didn't anticipate us being lucky enough to find one.

She is also a great bird dog, although an unsupervised one. Last month she got out of the fence and ran away....came home carrying a duck. (Where in the world did she find a duck??)
