And Here I Sit. Wifeless. Dogless.
Home alone. Seventh night, tonight. Loaded the three (2 dogs, 1 wife) into the car last Saturday morning at 5 AM. Beatrice, on spring break, spent the week with her family down south in Vista, near Oceanside, CA.
She’s on the way back and decided to camp out in Pismo for the afternoon & evening. Finish up tomorrow.
Before Dinner Dog Walk
Rotor, in the foreground, is the 14-yr-old male rat terrier with the pancreatic insufficiency I taked about in the newsletter. He’s the one where his licking the kefir bowl clean when I’m done with the batch has greatly improved his digestion, from all soft-serve poop to turdliness at least some times (yes, he gets desiccated pig pancreas mixed in his food—$$$—and those airborne proteins make me sneeze like crazy for 3-5 minutes).
Nanuka—”Nuke”—in the background should have been a cat for the way she acts. She’s about 7. Rotor is a total people dog. Loves people, loves being around them. Studies them. Nuke is a cat.
Ridiculous
Well, let’s see. It’s 8:30 PM, they’re expected back at 2 PM tomorrow. That’s about 18 hours.
I better get started cleaning up the place.

Clearly you’re a mysogynist. Shame on you.
“Wifeless, dogless” & doubtless legless.
Not mysogynist – more agapogamist & amatocanist.
Leon. where do you get your words?
Googling agapogamist gave:- Did you mean: gay polygamist, monogamist, agape games.
Googling amatocanist gave:- Did you mean: antagonist, americanist, amato pianist, amatoxins.
Nigel, google separately agape and gamos. Or amore and canine …..though, that last one can be taken soooo wrong!
LeonRover, how about philocanist, it’s somewhat safer, eh? ;)
I prefer to keep my philo for Hagia Sophia- or is it Saint Alice :) :)
Yuh is sooooo sub-textual.
” .. .. .. but how absoid, dah wing is on deh boid.”
P S “March has been the cruellest month.”
LeonRover, happy. For “now is (no longer) the winter of our discontent” and Spring has sprung…
…and your multi-textual saints can return to raining heavenly kisses on their philo :) :) :)
I better get started cleaning up the place.
As Bill Burr says, when the woman goes away for a few days, you HAVE to clean the house up until it’s spotless before she comes back. And make sure the fridge is fully stocked. Out of respect? No. Out of love? No. Because you can’t give them that power that they feel like you’re an absolute fucking moron when they’re not there. Then they get to be like that chick on the sitcom, “Aw my husband, he’s a fucking moron.”
Richard, a whole week! Again, You’ve come a long way baby! Good evidence regarding the effects of the kefir+milk nutrition on equanimity :)
Especially when compared to having to shock you out of some snarly doldrums several months ago with this – when she was gone for Only a long weekend :

Love the pics of your pups!
Wife and dogs gone for a week and what have you done? Aren’t you developing leandebt.com or something like that? Get cracking dude – make some real money before you die. Stop messing about with bitchy know-nothing bloggers.
Sean, Ahaha!
But wait, you mean men are Not absolute fucking morons? :D
Ugh, you started me on an hour’s retrospective of Bill Burr, you evil man. Which caused this comment on previous posts’ section:
“See Bill Burr’s take on proportion of evil online users : youtube.com/watch?v=1PbP7oVHNyw
Sean, thanks for reminding me of this comedian, you’re always so…genuine, as Dr.CG would say ;) “
Re : Rotor – you may be interested in this site & forum : . My old GSD boy was an undiagnosed epi boy until I found him at age 11. The info & group there literally saved his life. Hope he’s feeling better soon.
Marie,
Yeah Bill Burr is great. Also check out his podcast
