Song Lyric of the Day:
The only one that’s ever felt this is you / The force that’s forcing you / To feel like busting up a Starbucks

I have to give a shout out to our gorgeous pit bull baby, Caleb (aka: Little Monster, Little Man, and Little Monster Man). Since I rejoined the work force last Monday, Rich and I have really put our faith in him by leaving him loose (ie: not crated) for the whole work day. Having been free as a bird since we moved home last April, we weren’t sure how he’d act. After all, for a while there Mommy and Daddy were both working out of the home. Then Daddy went to work in an office while Mommy kept working from home. Then Mommy got laid off, and bam!–tons more quality time with Mommy. And virtually no time spent in the crate, save for time-outs. Barking during Lost is an absolute no-no. God forbid he open his yapper when Prison Break returns on March 20. I’ll spank that gorgeous fawn brindle pattern right off of him.
Anyhoo. It is with great relief (and a little pride) that I can come home every night to a house where no DVDs, CDs, PS2 games, or anything else remotely chewable has been damaged. I like to think that me teaching Caleb the phrase “honor system” worked; I’ve been saying it to him whenever I’ve gone out lately. Give me a break here–it’s not like I have human kids, okay?
Here’s a fresh-off-the-camera shot of the Little Monster Man. Followed by a series where he progressively annoys his big sister, Snoops (aka: Princess Dog, Stinkerella, and Spongedog Soakpants) with kisses.
See, it’s your typical big sister-little brother relationship. Only with tails.
***No Snoops or Calebs were harmed in the making of this post.
Oh yeah. She really looks like she is enjoying those kisses… NOT! She looks like she is going to rip his head off! My poor Caleb! At least your da*n dog knows how to be left outta the crate. Spike – aka stinkwell, devil baby, etc – can’t decide whether he likes to behave or TEAR UP THE WHOLE HOUSE when he is left outta the crate…. so for now its back to the crate…. Maybe he needs to be mentored by Caleb… Hmmmm
