I love mankind…it’s people I can’t stand.
1. I caught Andy Rooney on 60 minutes today. He was talking about kitchen gadgets and he held up a device used to remove stems from strawberries. It was a small hinged pair of rusty metal tongs which he held between two fingers with fingernails that looked like they’d be equally effective. It looked like a torture device. I wouldn’t normally recommend a manicure for a guy but I might suggest a buzz saw and a sander for those claws Andy calls his fingernails.
2. Boss called me yesterday and invited me to brunch. Then she insisted on paying for it. For the first time. In about 7 years. I am…how do you say it…pleasantly suspicious.
3. I reached for a Kleenex this evening and paused when I noticed something odd. The Kleenex peeking out of the box had small little pinched looking places in a few different spots. I did not think much of it until later when I saw Little Filthy, front paws on the coffee table, delicately trying to pull a tissue from the box with his front teeth. Marvelous.
4. I need to cut down on caffeine.
5. Looking forward to a fantastic dinner out on Wednesday and I hope to take some pictures to share. It’s been a while since I’ve done that.

Just a random attorney writing about daily life with Little Filthy, my rotten dog.

Haha, my dog isn’t so delicate with the tissues. She just tears them to pieces and leaves the bits everywhere.
Not much unlike when my hubby puts tissues in the wash. Same results, really. Just involving more motor skills.

I can’t even leave Kleenex out…the cat shreds it. Rather indelicately, I might add. Same for tissue paper. And sometimes paper. I have found many pieces of mail, etc., that I’ve left out with tiny teeth marks in the corners. He’s kind of a freak.
Enjoy your dinner! Now that you mention it, it has been a long time since I’ve seen any food porn here. Looking forward to it.

I can’t keep tissues around, the cats take it upon themselves to shred the everlasting hell out of them.

Love the cartoon!
Can’t wait to hear about the brunch and the dinner.

For some reason dogs like the texture of kleenex and toilet paper! I think it’s the way it sticks to their tongue or something.

You gotta love Andy Rooney. Found you by way of Qtmamma.

@Kez – Does your dog pull them out of the box? This is a new development for LF.
@KT – I officially promise food porn from Wednesday’s dinner!
@Chivahn – How many cats do you have? Trade you.
@MindyMom – I think I’m a split/mix between Linus and Snoopy. Happy all the time but a little philosophical.
@MissMegs – I’m strangely intrigued and wonder if you’ve ever had toilet paper or tissue in your mouth. Maybe I will try this.
@Danielle – I gotta ask. That isn’t you on the picnic table, is it? And welcome.

You hate people, all people.
Except for ME.
Love,
QT

@QT – Is true!

hmm…Loki has a tendency to find a spot on his blanket that MIGHT have the slightest bit of stuffing sticking out of it…and then proceed to PULL ALL OF THE STUFFING OUT OF THE BLANKET AND THROW IT AROUND THE HOUSE. it’s awesome. and by awesome i mean a pain in the ass to try and clean up. i’m still finding fluffy bits of white in corners from 2 months ago. tissue? ain’t no thang.

@lily heh. You’ve certainly put that into perspective. LF likes feathers that might escape the pillow, too. Oy.

What is LF on?
Also can’t wait for the food post.

2. I’m pleading ignorant here because I have not done any homework in reading anything as pertains to Boss woman, Buuuuuuut….. I used to have a nasty habit of insisting on paying for dates with dudes…. and it was usually because I had the sudden, inexplicable urge to walk away from the date with a trophy: his balls in a mason jar, or similar (preferably glass) container…

@CMC – Hm. I feel fairly safe in saying that Boss isn’t after a mason jar of testicles…but what do I know?
