going to the dogs?!

Here we have a picture of last New Year's Eve. A night of Merriment, the wii's and something called maple whiskey.

2/10's of the crew ended up getting ill , but that's another story.

Now, you may think the title is rude and are focusing on all of my lovely lady friends. It may seem as though the canines in the picture on the left are being forced into posing. These things aren't true.

I posted this picture because it's the only one on file of our beloved dog, jackson, and Molly and Seth's dog jasper.

Jasper has been our house guest since last Friday as M& S headed to the 'On golden pond' pond in Maine(?)

Jasper is the one on the right. Clockwise we have: jackson, Remi, Jessica,Terri(center) and Molly.

We were at Molly's house when this was taken. We were also up in the Whately's.

O.k.: Jasper.

He's a smaller breed. I think he's part border collie. He's very, very passive. He comes on a bit confused at times but you can see the gears turning in his eyes. If he is part collie, then he's a thinker. Border collies are smart. That's a fact.

The first night he was here, i fell a sleep on the couch after going into a caffeine coma and much to my surprise jasper was asleep on my chest with his head on my shoulder.

I was touched by how he found me to be his protector as he was a bit ill at ease with his new surroundings.

The trouble is: i can't shake the guy. He is at my feet all the time and follows me like a puppy dog. Maybe because he IS a puppy dog?

Feeding time for him is a blast, when i pour his food into a bowl and tell him repeatedly that he has to keep eating. He digs in after a while but needs a prod or two of advice.

He follows me into our kitchen and i have to tell him there is nothing for him and he kind of sulks.

These aren't a negative reflection of jasper by any means. He is a sweet, sweet dog and some of his mellow attitude is rubbing off out our boy jackson.

So, we've gone to the dogs at the 10 Clark.

And that's all right by me.

In other news: I finally received my used copy of DAS BOOT on Blue Ray.

Are you freaking kidding me?

The director's cut clocking in at over three hours in 1080p?

I know what i'm doing Sunday night: sinking into the depths of madness.
