September’s Tobey photo
The September photo of the Tobey calendar my sister gave my family for Christmas last year is especially adorable. I am staring at it right now instead of writing, which I’m also doing right now, in theory. But back to the cute Tobey photo. Thought you might want to see it:
Allow me to regale you with a story about flossing
It was time for my bi-annual flossing so I put on my flossing outfit (coconuts, sweatpants, a turban) and went to town and now there’s a metallic, bloody taste happening on the upper right side of my mouth and I don’t like it. Also, there is some pain. Nothing I can’t handle since my pain tolerance is nothing short of superhuman however, but still.
Ok, to be honest, I floss every day. I only put on my flossing outfit twice a year though, so I wasn’t completely telling an untruth.
The pain is not going away. Arguably it’s getting worse. Perhaps the way I was like “ow that hurts, I’m going to do it again, ow that still hurts, I’m going to do it again, yep, still painful, I’m going to do it again,” wasn’t very wise.
In other news I found out last night that Button, the dog I’ve been obsessed with has an adoption pending. I’m happy for Button but sad for me! And then I think: How could I really have become attached to a photo of a dog? And then I think: Wait, if I can become attached to a photo of a dog, maybe I should just get a photo of a dog instead of a dog? I’d put Button’s photo here so you could see how adorable this dog was however it’s no longer on Petfinder and I never copied the photos. It’s kind of tragic!
Tobey channels golden age of recording
Reader Kathy Lang on Facebook pointed out something I hadn’t noticed! See below.
My dad playing trumpet and Tobey joining in
He’s a very musical dog. Can’t say I agree with his choice of albums and MP3s (mostly slow jams) but I appreciate his passion.
Cute puppy talking points
1. Who’s a cute puppy?
2. Are you a cute puppy?
3. Are you the cutest puppy ever?
4. Are you the cutest puppy in the whole world?
5. Has anyone ever told you you’re the cutest puppy in the whole wide world?
6. Has anyone ever loved a cute puppy as much as I love you?
7. How’d you get to be so cute?
Instead of wry commentary I offer you a puppy hugging bamboo
I stole this photo from Laura Leu, by the way. I mean, I borrowed it. I have every intention of returning it provided I don’t spill red wine on it. Think she would notice if I returned a magenta puppy? Because I think if you spill red wine on your picture of a puppy the best course of action is to dye the whole photo Bordeaux.
Actual conversation
Me: How’s Tobey?
My dad: He’s a great dancer!
