Happily Ever After

Sometimes it's nice to cap a really bad week -- saaay one where you lose your job and dozens of others you know and like lose theirs, too -- with a beautiful wedding. Follow that with a smashing party where you get to shuck your troubles and have a blast with many of your fellow unemployed (including the bride!!) AND a few of the somewhat unfortunate souls who kept their jobs but are stuck cleaning up the mess, and somehow things kinda seem OK.

And when you look at those two crazy-in-love kids you can be pretty sure everything will turn out all right -- for them, and for the rest of us.

That Was Close!!

OK, everyone knows Duncan is famous for being a "Girly Dog." There's the family story about him barking in terror at deer near our woods, and running back on the deck after he spotted a large rabbit in the yard. So imagine our amazement and horror at his reaction to finding a teeeeeny tiny bunny pressed down in the grass trying to look invisible. Duncan instantly snatching it up in his mouth!!! YIKES! He didn't even take a second to sniff it. Just CHOMP!

If you've never heard a baby bunny shriek in terror -- be grateful. It is an awful sound. Thankfully I had the dog on a leash and could keep control of him. But I had to literally bonk him soundly on the head a few times before he let the little fellow go! Geez Louise! He picks a tiny, 5-ouncer to get tough with?

Happily the tike shot under a bush the second he hit the ground, terrified but evidently none the worse for wear. Whew! I'm telling you -- this dog is full of surprises.

Who Says High Definition television isn't really realistic? This poor woman was sure her home was on fire. Actually, I could see my dad having the same kind of confusion. :-(
