I think we may have been having a different kind of hot dog then.
I kind of felt bad because Grace weighs about as much as our niece does. So it's wasn't even fair for her.

Haha, I dont know why but I find it funny. She does the same thing to my nieces and nephews and I laugh everytime.

Oh it was funny. :laughing: The best was when our niece was sitting in one of the old folding lawn chairs. Somehow it folded up on her and all you could really see was this arm holding a cookie in the air and Grace trying to get it. :laughing:
I try to correct Grace when she does that stuff but sometimes it's hard to be mean while I'm laughing.

Diane, I hope by this point I am laughing with you and not at you because that is pretty funny. I remember when I was a kid we had an old english sheep dog and my mom just spent hours roasting a whole chicken and she put it on the kitchen table and she turned around for a second and the next thing she knew the dog took a flying leap up onto the table and starting eating the chicken. At the time I thought she was going to kill him, now she just thinks it's funny. Hopefully by now, you too have reached the it's funny stage : )

Grace is right about 50 pounds. She is all muscle too.

I know this is old but I'm new here, and obviously bored this afternoon, but this is great. Just the other day a "new to Canada" lady at the next pump asked me to help her. Never fuelled a car before. What a circus between her limited use of the english language and my limited knowledge of these @#&ing pumps.

That reminds me of the scen from "Christmas Story" where all the dogs run in and grab the turkey.

It was like something right out of a movie. First we screamed and tried to stop him but it was a lost cause so we just laughed and ordered a pizza.

Such a profound statement C-tech. You go down in my all time hall of fame as a "classic." Women beware.

Even better is when you get to suffer the consequences of THEIR inaction.
But presumably you're managing them, so it's your job to make sure that they meet the deadline. Fact is if someone working for you fails to meet a deadline, it's your responsibility, which is why you get to suffer the consequences of their inaction. An ugly fact of life granted, but that's the way it is. :bulgy-eyes:
As an aside to this, I hate it when people are like "well, we have to get this out to our client by the end of next month, so, er, can you get that to me by the end of today please?" Er, no. If you're setting deadlines, you have much more chance of people respecting them if they are a: fair and b: well-reasoned. For example, building in a couple of weeks for reworking stuff if it's needed is fine, but asking for stuff today only to let it sit on your desk for the next week without you looking for it is not. If you do that, people lose respect for your deadlines and they're much more likely to miss them.

My Jack Russell somehow someway managed to get a couple of frozen steaks off the counter where they were defrosting. They were far enough back that there is no way he should have or ever could have gotten them, but he did.

He ate them!!! Teeth of steel.
Right. Rant time.
This evening is the first episode of the new season of House. I enjoy this show very much and this evening's episode was setting up to be a real corker. I set my DVR to record it so that I could watch it while skipping the commercials. So, I'm watching merrily and forwarding commercials and as I do I notice that the watched bit is catching up surprisingly quickly to the recorded bit. That is when I look at my DVR and spot that the little red light that indicates it is recording is no longer illuminated.
My TV made a lucky escape, because I was dangerously close to pitching my remote control through it. STUPID B****** F****** S****** C******* of a machine. Then I go check to see when they'll be repeating it. Not tonight, not tomorrow. In fact, on October 1st, which is after the next episode will air. I suppose I should be thankful that I still have the possibility of watching anything. There's an old Garfield cartoon where Garfield is woken up by his alarm clock. He looks at the "camera" and says "the worst thing about getting angry at an inanimate object is that there's no rational way of getting back at it". Then he smashes the alarm clock and he says "fortunately I'm irrational". This too was painfully close to fruition on this occasion. I'm still fantasizing about Office Space's destruction of the printer scene. GAH!!!!!!!!

I agree. Over rated, over paid and egos the size of Mount Everest.

I prefer that she doesn't learn that. I'm usually telling her to shut up after she lets out a couple of barks. My wife gets mad but it's irritating to hear a dog bark. Maybe it's because I hate when other people just let their dog bark. I prefer she barks when someone comes to the door. That way I know someone is there even though I know once the door opens she will be jumping on them instead of trying to rip their legs off. Well that is except for Spongebob. Poor Spongebob will never walk again.
And speaking of stolen food. Last night my wife and I went to the store and got some groceries. We picked up some bones/biscuits, what ever you want to call them, for Grace. My wife dumped them in this container we have sitting on the floor that we keep them in. She turned around and when she turned back Grace had her head in the container and was picking out her own bone. :laughing: I yelled at her but she didn't seem to care she was busy eating her bone.

Oh I know she does. I have to blame my wife for the stolen bone. Every now and then my wife will just lay Grace's bag of food on the floor and let her eat out of it. What the difference in doing that and leaving the container with bones in it open? It was pretty funny though. It was kind of like yelling at a kid for using foul language even though you are busting a gut laughing about it.
