Awww...Who Loves You More Than Me, Baby?

No one.

Well, maybe your mom. Possibly your dad on most days.

Your dog. Your dog definitely loves you more than I do. But certainly not that snot-nosed cat you consider family.

So here I am at nearly midnight trying to sneak in a quick post so you'll have something to read with your coffee in the morning. See? I love you.

Today was our usual nursing home Tuesday. Here's a picture of Hoocher doing what he does best: snuggling up to the old folks. I was talking to one of the residents when I noticed my dog was no longer resting by my feet. A quick search of near-by rooms revealed that Hoocher had jumped up on Chester's bed and had made himself comfortable.

Good boy. Kinda makes up for having Malina wipe a piece of food (or worse) that she picked out of her mouth on your fur. I was relieved she picked it out before she started talking to me; I got a faceful of spittle.

Let's see...what else. Oh yeah, I finally got around to buying some more flowers for the planting bed out front. And the nursery is open this Monday so I'll be able to go back and get more when the frost kills them all tonight.

I also had a soccer game tonight. We were missing several players, including our goalie, so I got to play in net. I didn't mind, because while everyone else was freezing their hamstrings off, I was bundled up in sweat pants and a long-sleeve shirt. I am a terrible goalie, but we have great forwards and a stellar defense, so I didn't have to do much. I just mocked the other team when they finally made it past the 18 yard line. If Kevin hadn't been called on a foul (their forward gave an Oscar-worthy performance), I would have recorded a shut-out. A 3-1 victory still gives you trash-talkin' rights, no?

Well, I'm having satellite problems, so I'm going to see if this will post. If yes, I'll bid you good-night. If it doesn't, you won't see this, so nevermind.

Thanks, Aelfheld and Matthew for the reading suggestions!
