At The 99
A gas attack from said beans could ruin one who writes from the gut ?— May 24, 2010 6:35 p.m.
The Doctor Is In
I am heading out to pick up the Cativan and check on feline/human companion yoga classes in Ocean Beach. Even though the feline friend knows more stretches (and can do them) than most advanced practitioners of this discipline, Jennifer (Dr. Melfi) just consulted with me and suggested feline friend and I investigate yoga for my tight muscles and my cat's stress level. Dog on the blog does not bring out the best in everyone but we applaud your non discriminatory policy.— May 24, 2010 6:21 p.m.
Near Head-On
I must be in Mass as I hear a mea culpa, mea culpa, mea maxima culpa. Or do my ears deceive me ?— May 24, 2010 6:13 p.m.
At The 99
Fishy sent me fishing to find her 99 in National City. I picked another 99 in the same area and found some Molina vanilla (the best and usually available only in TJ or Mexican markets), Dutch Maid Original gingersnaps, and Abuelita chocolate. The abuelita on the container has a devilish look. Actually a demonic one. Other sundries. But I could not find Ben and Jerry who seemed to be in Vermont with their cows. I did see some canned refried beans but had no use for them or the dried peppers because I was not making either burritos or mole.— May 24, 2010 6:07 p.m.
The Doctor Is In
My feline friend shows no inclination to travel at this time except from chair to bed to sunny deck. Many cats of a different stripe would not be welcomed by Zonies. Dr. Melfi has spoken with the Minor Cat (not be confused with the Big Cat, Tony Soprano) recently. I was not privy to the conversation even though I represent the Minor Cat (aka feline friend) in a legal sense. I got the impression that some anxiety has been created by the appearance of a dog on this blog. I may need to visit the dispensing pharmacy soon on behalf of my feline friend. Cativan or something stronger to soothe the savage beast could be in order. I await my orders.— May 24, 2010 4:07 p.m.
The Doctor Is In
Did I say anything about papers ? Or gasp the F (fix) word ? Canine hostility is not attractive. My other nickname is Claws.— May 24, 2010 3:06 p.m.
Graham Claims She Was "Spotless" in Florida. Hogwash!
The noxious gas metaphor was so apt that I must confess a fish led me to it. I do envision the council members perched on 3 legged stools letting the fumes (perhaps not gas) rise upwards and helping the dears make decisions. The mayor, no doubt, has the executive 3 legged stool model in his chambers because he is strong and possesses a hearty girth.— May 24, 2010 2:17 p.m.
The Doctor Is In
My dear feline's mysterious past includes living in a foreign country. Suffice to say she would not be welcome in Arizona if her activities and true citizenship were known. I must be very discreet as she has 2 offspring who reside at another chateau. Some of her past does involve, shall we say most delicately, relationships with an emphasis on plural. However, all of this exists in a murky bygone time before she adjusted to her newly acquired status on a sunny deck contemplating hummingbirds, crows, and hawks while displaying a perfect feline yawn upon occasion.— May 24, 2010 2:08 p.m.
The Doctor Is In
Perchance does Dr. Peanut have the acquaintance of one Dr. Jennifer Melfi who advised the Big Cat, Tony Soprano ? I would not want any breach of patient privacy so I will understand if you cannot divulge the information. My cat advises that in matters of breath and morals, she prefers to dark chocolate mint filled candy to alleviate any objectionable air quality issues. Ever the lady as one might expect from a feline with a mysterious past. Ah but that story must wait.— May 24, 2010 10:54 a.m.
Graham Claims She Was "Spotless" in Florida. Hogwash!
The former Border Czar is being considered for an important position so I suppose if Lord and Lady Macbeth were around to apply for a government job, their resumes would be spotless and earn them a top spot. I sent my canaries to City hall for a Council meeting and they never came back. I heard it was the gas that got them.— May 24, 2010 10:34 a.m.
