mean

[mrissa]

I am the meanest meanest meanest monkey ever.

Ista's eyes have gotten to the itchy phase of healing, and so I am making her wear her conehead again. She is Extremely Disgruntled. I tried taking it off this morning for awhile, but she wouldn't leave her eyes alone, so here we are again. When I was sitting on the library couch reading, she snuggled the conehead right up against my head and draped a paw over my shoulder. Periodically, she would let out this little sad crooning sigh. Now she has made a nest of my old college quilt on the guest bed and is fixing markgritter with her imploring, itchy gaze: please won't you take this horrid thing off my head, monkey? Please? Please?

Last night she pulled Piggy into the cone with her to sleep.

It is so very hard to be the bop.

Westminster Kennel Club Show on USA last night! The standard poodle won his group, the toy poodle won his (or hers, I wasn't noticing) so there is a 2 of 7 chance a poodle will win best in show tonight!

Lovely! Poor darlings, though: the breed standard cut is just stupid-looking. I know its historical origin and all that. It's still just stupid-looking, and they're almost all too smart to have to go around looking stupid like that.

We kept our big son-of-s-bitch (black standard) in a modified puppy cut most of his 12-year life. James, the Springer who won last night, must have really been On in person, because Harry the PBGV seemed more On to me on tv.

Yah, we're keeping Ista in a modified puppy cut as well. She isn't hunting and she isn't showing, so there's no reason for poofs!
