There’s a commercial out, or at least it was fairly recently, for a nifty little item called Iams Savory Sauce. This is a ketchup-style bottle of something that looks a bit like gravy, comes in bacon, chicken, and beef (though they call it Country Chicken and Homestyle Beef… as if the dog is going to know), and it’s meant to be poured over dry dog food at something like a tablespoon per half cup.

And the MacGyver award goes to…
So I decided to give Rhys the benefit of the doubt, closed up the bedrooms, gated off the kitchen and left him out while we went shopping. He’s more than proven himself.

My new puppy!
This is Rhys, my new puppy! He’s absolutely fantastic. He loves to play but he calms down quickly when it’s time to chill. He listens to ‘no’, he knows how to sit, lay down, stay (for the most part), and wait (as in, wait until I set your food bowl down before eating). He’s potty trained (yay!). He loves his treats and his chew toys (thankfully; he managed to get the little loopy-leash at the Humane Society into his mouth and nearly chewed it through before I took it out of his mouth. He hasn’t chewed on anything but his toys!). He was an exceptional car passenger on the way home from the adoption center. He tugs some on the leash but he listens when you actively work on him walking nicely. He’s polite, he’ll ‘get down’ from the couch when asked, and ‘get out’ of a room as well.

Dumb cat.
My roommate’s cat is a wuss. If you walk in his general vicinity he cowers. The other morning I woke up and walked into the living room and he was behind the couch. I walked past him and he didn’t move. I shook my foot at him and he still didn’t move. So I pushed him out from behind the couch and he ran a couple of feet. And with him he took the plastic grocery bag that he had around his neck.

Things that go bark in the night.
So we’re sitting around earlier tonight and there’s some strange noises outside but it was decided that it was probably a snow mobile. I had the window open because it was stuffy in here.

I just wanted cake.
I felt like hell yesterday. When I woke up this morning, there was white stuff on my tonsils. Great.
I went to the store this evening with the intention of buying some essentials. I came home with a case of Slimfast and 6 boxes of cake mix.
