holy puppy breath, batman.

today is day six of Operation Puppysit. we have the entire litter of golden retriever puppies introduced in the previous post (12 puppies!), plus their mommy (gidget!), and for a few days, their daddy (bear). plus lukin, of course. for those counting along at home, that's 15 dogs. 15. dogs. yup. they are friggin' adorable and it's been a lot of fun having them here, but i must admit that i am looking forward to the restoration of order when they go home tomorrow. but damn are they cute. lukin has been phenomenally good with them--herding them around the yard, checking on them while they sleep, investigating when they make funny noises--i think he'll be very, very sad when they go. chester, however, will do a little kitty dance of joy. gidget and bear kind of want to eat chester, so he's been hiding in our bedroom. he will be very, very happy when they go. then we've got just enough time to wash the sheets on the guest bed before dana's dad gets here on thursday afternoon. hopefully. (kidding--we'll wash the sheets! jeez!). which will be cool, because i haven't met dana's dad yet.

in other news, there isn't much other news. isn't 15 dogs enough for you people?

meet the newest member of the family! dana's friend greg bred his golden retriever bear (to the lovely ms. gidget), and we're taking this little guy once he's old enough (early march). all twelve of the puppies (plus mom) are actually going to be staying with us thursday through wednesday of next week while gidget's owners are on vacation. puppy doesn't have a name yet; he's going to be dana's, so dana gets to name him. for now, you can check out my puppies photo set over at flickr to bask in the cuteness that is puppy. enjoy--more photos to come ;).

this french commercial based on march of the penguins had me laughing so hard i was crying.

"sometimes they slide on their bellies, to go faster"

"there are some really tender moments, too, like when they pass their eggs to one another"

ahahahaha! very, very funny.
