Oh, Jack ~ More mis-adventures of a puppy bladder

Just when i though carbon wee-wee pads had saved the day, Jack's bladder strikes again! This time on a pal's shirt, shorts & a pillow. YUM.

So i think this is just Jack staking his territory a bit & letting everyone know he shall not be ignored... And in his defense 1) the back-door wasn't open and 2) the bathroom door was closed; but usually that just leaves the hall or the living room as fair game. Not the far corner of my bedroom where unsuspecting articles of clothing got drenched in puppy pee. I just hope this isn't a new trend....

Ode to carbon-based wee-wee pads

Who ever invented carbon-wee-wee pads is a genius.
Not that the potty training is over, oh, no, but we're getting more hits with the new pads than ever before!

They dry up within a few minutes & Jack can use one pad for about 24 hours! hot-diggity-damn, folks! So instead of spending $3 a day for these things, we are down to less than $1. See, genius!

I know, I know, why-oh-why am i torturing y'all with this? This is why: Someday you or someone you heart will have a dog that needs to be house-broken & you will recall this random post. And as Jack's bladder basically rules my world these days [sad!] i thought i'd share a bit-o'-sunshine about it.

(The picture is not of the carbon-ones, they are pink)

ah, the information age

In this day and age, one can find out tons of information on virtually anyone. This is both good and scary as it is getting easier and easier to build up knowledge [ammunition?] about the ones we know and even those we don't.

i'm not a malicious person. i'm not vengeful person either, but it occurred to me as of late that it is far too easy to tarnish someone's image. This is by no means meant to be a threat; just merely an observation.

My roundabout point: Why eff with people? It seems to me that this reality would encourage people to play nice in the sandbox. Everyone knows a good reputation is very hard-earned and it doesn't take much to have that reputation sullied.

I mean the fact that on job interviews you are googled, checked out on myspace and other similar sites by your prospective employer is point-in-case. If that is the way it is for all things corporate, think of how easy it is for not so passive audience members to wreck havoc.

My B-day: In a nutshell

Here are a few snaps from my weekend of merriment!
Thanks to my peeps that made this a special b-day celebration!

Thank goodness for chocolate butter cream frosting, 'cause the original plan of white chocolate frosting turned out like boiled chicken broth. What a waste of four cups of white chocolate!









Jack gettin' his drink on! In case there were any doubts before, he is definitely my dog.









The gals at d-land, pre-tiara donning. Mer is there too, but she's taking this pic!
We went on Finding Nemo (finally, the yellow subs are back!), Indy, Splash Mountain, Haunted House, Pirates (yo ho!), Thunder Mountain, Matterhorn, Snow's Scary Adventures & ate sundaes for dinner. Now if that doesn't constitute for a happy day, i don't know what does!









And here's the aftermath of Jack... Can you tell he missed us?!
You can't see it in this pic (i decided to be discerning), but he decided to poop in the bathtub. Guess i now know he can get in and out of the tub on his own accord. Oh, boy!
