Hearing Snakes on a Plane -- Cobra Starship

Guest Dog




Awwww. Isn't he cute? This is Sammy, my in-laws' pup; he's visiting here because my in-laws are helping my wife's sister's family move into their new house, and if Sammy doesn't get out and exercised, he's liable to poop in the house. So I picked him up from the in-law's house, and let him run around and then brought him over to my house (as requested), whereupon he promptly pooped in my house. On the kitchen Linoleum, at least, so it wasn't that much of a hassle to deal with. Still. If there was to be in-home poopage, I don't know why it had to be in my home. Anyway, he is cute. Which is keeping him from being strangled at the moment.

    Awwwww... Who's the cute little doggie??? <said in that baby voice everyone hates <G>>  Maybe Sammy was just trying to mark out his territory... or maybe he just wanted to watch you run around and clean up after him <LOL>

    eh..it must be me cause I don't think the pup is cute at all. But then again, I am a large dog breed fan.  Give me a Rottie and I'll be happy. Now your akita is cute!  Glad you didn't strangle the dog, poor thing had to be nervous.

    Maybe it was his way of saying, "Hi, John! I just love what you've done with your kitchen."

    or not

    Still, isn't he just the cutest!
