Oh Truthy, he’s adorable, and good for him, not breaking under that waterboarding. :-)

Yes-that is why there are mute buttons, and I use mine then hear the Fox newsperson’s redux after-that way, I don’t have to listen to the idiot in chief drone on and on...

Psycho Girl Thena is still around, still crazy, next time.. I’m getting a snuggly dog!

That’s still a King Cavalier, right? I want one. :-)

We got him from a breeder in Seguin, TX. He came on the plane and i don’t know if that’s what has made him highstrung or not. he’s a purebred cav, but xshub thinks he’s really a jack russell wearing a cav suit and he will unzip some day and expose his true self. He drives Chan nuts with barking and rampaging around. yes, he’s a puppy, but the other two were NOT like this as puppise! he’s a whole nuther kinda cav!

[tioga]

He is beautiful.

"...We live in a world now where one can jet from New York to Paris and onto Tokyo without experiencing even the slightest bit of cultural dislocation. We imagine an interconnected world made smaller by Facebook and Twitter. For the sanguine traveler today plopping themselves down in a cookie-cutter Starbucks in some exotic locale with a laptop and WiFi and ordering - in English - a caffe latte from the local barista only seems to fuel this illusion of verisimilitude...
