my good dog

Einstein reminds me of me dog
I want to pat his fluffy head
this whole world reminds me of my dog


So Ursy and I are watching a documentary about dogs on PBS right now. I have learned about the evolution of dogs, their usefulness in healing human diseases, the fact that packs of sled dogs run 5 marathons a day, and how we've manipulated their barks. Very cool.

They just showed a dog and her 8 little puppies who were all nursing. My question is...how come it's so easy for them? Based on their positioning and their successful suck, swallow, breathe reflex, I'd give them all latch scores of 10. My patients hardly ever get 10s.

Next time one of my moms is having a hard time breastfeeding, I think I'm going to suggest she tongue bathe her child from head to toe and then nudge the little thing with her cold wet nose outside on the grassy area to run and play.

I didn't know it was possible but I love my dog more after this show. She is staring at the television.

I done told ya that human babies are worthless. Like, every other species knows what's up the minute they are born. Case in point: dogs.

on a side note, we are totally f-in done with school!!! if i didn't have bronchitis and could breathe, i would be smokin a cigarette in one hand and a joint in the other and i would be topless riding on colin's shoulders.

omg. No comment. This shit is getting old. Not the part about having Shen topless on my sholders. That wuld be cool. That never gets old.

I too watched 'the dogs that changed the world' and was going to comment on it on my blog, aswell. I, however unlike you and Adriana, didn't watch it with a dog or two of my own. Instead I watched it with an eye twords "what dog would I want?" I don't think i was sold on the whole "magic hairless fire dog' from mexico. That one looked gross.
