Kittens and puppies and mice, oh my

[cornerofmadness]

The kitten was there this morning but much more shy. EVERYONE has food out for him. He wasn't around when I came home (I wanted to bring him in, it's cold tonight) but i'll keep an eye out. He might be under my neighbor's porch which is where he sheltered under the building last night.

The mouse shit on my desk at work again. Glue traps ahoy.

One of my coworkers brought two of her dauschunds to work, mom and daughter plus all of mom's new babies, 5 piebald red and white (yes i know the AKC doesn't like them) wieners. I got to cuddle them (can't cuddle the wiener I want, so wiener dogs will have to do) one of the boys was strongly colored and so very laid back. (no, wieners aren't my type of dog but he WAS cute)

The truth is out there

When I was out canvassing during the election, I came to a house where a dog came barking up to the door. The owner said it was a Chiweinie. Huh? I said. Chihuahua-Wiener dog, it turned out. Cute, but yappy.

oh god two yappie breeds mixed into one? the horror.

(also I realized yesterday I never changed the names before i sent you the novel though Rhys becomes Bran halfway through...)

Ah, good to know! I put it on my kindle and will do a quick read-through for plot and character, if that's good--I'm also happy to do line edits once you know you have a fairly final draft--but maybe you don't need those. They take a lot longer.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

that is the faily final draft (well I could change the names properly and resend it if you like) Do whatever sort of editing you want. The stuff I've added since you last saw it will be particularly weak (since they've not been edited)

Weeeeeeeenerdog. :D I wouldn't want to own one, either, but my sister has the sweetest little wienerdog; she is nothing like the typical breed profile, but rather, a cute little cuddle-sponge that loves everyone. And they are really adorable-looking, especially when they're young.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

actually the adult dog my coworker had was very quiet and reserved too unlike others I've known. They are adorable things

So, you got to play with seven doxies. LUCKY. I think red and white are referred to as 'dapple'. Piebald is traditionally black and white. (Horsie knowledge.)

The kitten was prolly less hungry and Soul and Kanda hissed at him from behind the door.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

she called them piebalds so...

and the dogs chased him

[evil-little-dog.livejournal.com]

really? Weird.

Poor kitteh, chased by dogs. Speaking of which, how's your neighbor the Schnauzi?

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

not as noisy as her and her damn vacuum

[evil-little-dog.livejournal.com]

Ahahahahahahaah!

I love doxies! My cousin had a girl doxie when I lived with them, and she was just adorable. And then I got my Schultzie who was my best friend. I miss him. :-(

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

They're adorable (I'm a big dog person). They'd probably be ready for the holidays. I could always wing one (along with a cat or two) at you as I drive by on my way home :-)

[sp23.livejournal.com]

LOL, if I wasn't away from home for up to 10 hours a day, I'd take you up on your offer. But puppies and home alone all day are not a great idea. :-)

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

this is why I do not have one either. My lifestyle is better suited to cats one of whom is helping me type this (Soul who seems to sense something isn't right)

[sp23.livejournal.com]

Exactly. I may get a dog after I retire. And after I finally get the back yard completely fenced in.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

not a bad plan

[sillymagpie.livejournal.com]

Doxies make you happy just to look at them. Some day I have to make it out to the Weiner Dog Races they have out here. Can you imagine the cuteness?!

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

that would be cuteness overload

[sp23.livejournal.com]

My little Schultze would make me laugh when we went walking because he yapped the whole entire time, he loved it so much! LOL

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

haha, at least he was excited to go

[sillymagpie.livejournal.com]

Have you seen this? Because you must.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

no and I'm not at the moment either. Verizon hates you tube. i'll try again tonight

[winters-queen.livejournal.com]

Hopefully the kitteh stays warm. It looks like such a cutie. At least people are helping with giving the poor guy some food.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

yes, it's not been here today sadly
