So sorry to hear you are sick. Nice way to ruin a Holiday. Hopefully, you recover fast. If not, just lay there and watch football! Why does your dog have a pancake on it's head? I checked your about page and saw that. I thought you lived in the South, but wanted to make sure. That is why I checked it out. Is there much flu going around?
The pancake on the head is an old FR joke . . .
There's a fellow in Japan who had a hobby of making his pet bunny rabbit balance stuff on his head - teacups, rice cakes, you name it - and taking its picture.
Some troll posted a ridiculous screed, and somebody posted a reply with a pic of the bunny with the cap "I have no idea what you're talking about, so here's a picture of a bunny with a pancake on its head." Of course that led to variations on variations (including Rachel Corrie on a bunny's head and pics of IHOP, etc.) So Shelley just seemed like a natural. Several other dog owners have similar pics - troll threads are a good place to look for them.
