I almost, note the word almost, talked my husband into rescuing a golden retreiver/husky but by the time he agreed the puppy had been adopted. His picture now sits on my desktop. No poop to scoop, no vet bills, no dog food to buy...damn! ;-( He was a gorgeous puppy too. The rescue people have ten more coming in January. Give Milton a hug for me. Very sweet Jenny.

Good trade, if true.... My daughter's cocker spaniel ended up costing ~$80,000...first she ate a pair of shoes, then another, and another, so there were shelves to keep the shoes safe. And they made the bedroom look shabby, so there was a bathroom remodel, which made.... The remodeled house is gorgeous. The puppy, alas, aged and is gone (did you know dogs can have Alzheimers?) But the house is gorgeous. Has Milton given up eating shoes & duvets in favor of sleeping on the laptop? Good trade, if true….

Well, of course. That Milton is a <i>very</i> highly polished dog. Mud just can't stick. So, will you be giving Veronica a bath? That should be entertaining. :) It is years - decades, even - since I bathed a dog, but the memory never fades... “Mud seems to slide off Milton but Veronica’s a mess”.

Man, that dog LOVES that computer! The heat thing makes a lot of sense. At least Milton is not trying to dominate the toaster or anything (-:.

Have you seen/heard of this show? Anyway after watching a marathon of these show, I've come to the conclusion that his own dogs are lemmings and have no personality. So as long as you don't mind Milton eating blankets and sleeping on your computer, this is worthless advice. BTW I love your dogs and esp. your cat.

It seems to drive my cat crazy when I'm at the computer. She'll do her best to distract me, standing in front of the monitor, walking on the keyboard, etc. I have to agree that Milton is probably trying to snag some attention away from the “flat dog.” It seems to drive my cat crazy when I’m at the computer.

I've got a flat screen, and the keyboard and mouse are on a pull-out shelf, so they aren't exactly spoiled for choice. I just have to make sure that they are really asleep and not nibbling at the cables... My cats like to curl up on the desk, under the lamp.

One of my cousins always says if he had a superpower, he would like it to be the ability to sleep like a dog. "Man, I'm tired. I think I'll have a nap. Oooh, here's a pile of rocks and pointy cardboard boxes! Perfect!" *flop* *snore* Really, that laptop looks pretty comfy. Happy 2008! Awww, Milton!

LOL - my siamese cat is much too dignified to be cute & curl up on the laptop. But when I am working, she sits flush up against the fan side so the heat will warm her toes. Coincidentally, it allows her to block part of my screen so I can't *quite* see what I'm doing. It's also her way of reminding me that she is Starving To Death, and I am a slacker human for not refreshing her bowl NOW. I'm glad your work is going so well and look forward to all the treats that will be coming readers' (MY) way in 2008. Have a Happy New Year!
