I need taller trash cans or a shorter dog
And since Kali is a miniature Dachshund… I understand how she can knock over the small trash cans around the house, but the kitchen trash can is much taller. Of course, it has the best stuff in it. Personally, I suspect collusion with the cats, but whatever the truth is, it doesn’t really matter, because [...]

Why else would I still be up at 3 AM on Christmas Morning? Other than I had to go outside with the dog. (Something about that -11° wind chill dampens her enthusiasm for the “doing her business” process. Then there’s the “how do I squat to pee when the snow is already higher than my [...]

We’re winding down a bit here in the Ratlands. We spent yesterday at my parents’ house in the company of my sister, brother-in-law and my nephew. My sister and her family live in Lincoln, Nebraska. Apparently the good folks of Lincoln (or perhaps all of Nebraska) don’t cotton much to fireworks. Consequently the Nephew, who [...]

The Attack Dachshund training is apparently over. The dog has chewed off the doll’s feet, hands, and part of its face and the doll has been essentially drawn and quartered. The Head Rat threw it away. Now we can move on to life-size human dummies and the advanced “Nixon” training from the movie “Where the [...]

GM fixedness: GM was at $1.81 today. Not that it matters, as the restructuring plan calls for GM to swap stock (I’m not sure if that means they are going to create new stock to swap) for debt, which will leave those of us who bought stock previously owning less than 1% of the company. [...]

Kali is a miniature Dachshund. When we got her, the Head Rat thought she needed something to play with, so (among other things) she gave Kali a small stuffed bear to chew on, toss around, do the “tug-of-war” thing with, etc. In relatively short order, the dog had ripped the bear open and started eating [...]

We took Kali to the vet today and got her fixed. Which always struck me as a sort of odd turn of phrase, given that there wasn’t anything broken, and we did it because everything was demonstrably in good working order. That, and, there is an “unfixed” poodle next door who will hump anything that [...]

Or, perhaps a camera. I tried to take Kali outside yesterday. I finally got her out in the snow. I wish my camera wasn’t broken. I would really like to have a picture of the look she gave me. Something on the order of “you do realize the snow is higher than my butt, right?” [...]
