In order that we might all raise the level of discourse and expand our language abilities, here is the daily post of “word for the day”. Rules: Everyone must leave a post using the “word of the day”; in a sentence. The sentence must, in some way, relate to the news of the day. Practice makes perfect.....post on....

4. Not susceptible of being profaned or corrupted; sacred; holy; as, inviolable honor or chastity; an inviolable shrine.
5. Unviolated; uninjured; undefiled; uncorrupted.

For thou, be sure, shalt give account To him who sent us, whose charge is to keep This place inviolable, and these from harm.
--Milton.

They sit on command great. They retrieve pretty well. I bought them a dog house so I've all but moved them out of the house.

To scratch if it's only a few paces. When they're hauling across a room like that, it's another story.

Oh yeah when LulaBelle goes yard swimming she gets a dreamy look on her face. But the Belly crawl is a trained adaptation of the yard swim.

In the winter, it'll be too cold up here so hopefully I can move their house into the garage and they won't wreck the place.

McNair is holding strong(crossing fingers it stays that way). :-)

Well, we have 2 QB's in Cleveland, although it looks like we have NO defense.

Except for AFLAC commercials with the duck and Animal Planet, they show little interest in the TV.
