I know you don’t have the Cardinals feed, but I don’t know that I’ve ever heard an announcer gush as much over a play where the outfielder got a glove on the ball but didn’t catch it and then made a throw that didn’t get anyone out. If Bader has made either play I think McLaughlin would have nutted in his pants.

I think McLaughlin is warm for Bader. He's not the only one. Even Sheryl, who watched the game with me on Wednesday, said, referring to Bader: "Ooooh. He's handsome."
 

When is Cecil due to come off the DL again?

Madison has a huge Bader crush.

I think I mentioned that Bob was coming home to surprise Michele and Madison for the weekend. There’s no doubt that no one misses Bob more than Michele, but I think the happiest to see Bob when he comes home is our younger dog. He’s a 90 pound mix of probably boxer and Rhodesian ridgeback. He was so excited to see Bob he ran and jumped at him from about 5 feet catching Bob off guard and knocking him on his ass. It was pretty damn funny and a whole lot of cute.

Dogs are awesome.

When Zach came home for Thanksgiving, one of his friends dropped him off. Baxter fancies himself as the ultimate guard dog, even though he's a total sissy. So when Baxter sees this dark, shadowy figure stepping out of an SUV, he charges out of the house.. until the moment he recognizes Zachary's scent and he starts slobbering over him like a tween girl starstruck by the member of a boy band.

Our younger dog, Duke, has some  guard dog training or instincts. He’s a rescue, so we don’t know his background. But when he starts playing, he goes for your pant cuffs and he’ll get it in his mouth and use his front paw to trip you. Then he grabs either your pant cuff or sock to pull you so you can’t get up.

The only problem is, he has terrible separation anxiety. If we leave him out while we’re gone he will either chew something he shouldn’t or knock over the trash can and dig in the trash. So we have to put him in a kennel when we’re gone which makes him a fairly ineffective guard dog.

Bruins will lose this game in overtime ...

Thank goodness Kadri took that stupid major penalty. After the Leafs made it 3-1, Rask's sphincter started tightening.

Mine is 11, allergenic, licks his ass 24/7 and wakes me up at 230 every morning because he is hungry

Whenever one of out dogs reaches 11, I'm grateful for every day.  Right now we have a little Blue Heeler mix who was diagnosed with terminal cancer last July and given only a month to live.  It's a real joy to see her climb down from a bed and wag her tail every morning.  We are now at the point that we usually have to find something she'll eat after running through various options of dog food and treats throughout the day.  But she still has the strength to bark the mailman, any cat that is within view of a front window, any bobcat or deer that has come near the back fence, and any car that dares to come near turning into our cove.
I know she is in quite a bit of pain because of the way she begs for stomach rubs but tries to state out of the way (most of the time) of the other three who are much bigger.  Still, she seems to enjoy life too much to force the end.

I'm sure you have given her a great life.
I never had a dog growing up. My wife had to talk me into getting one. He's a pain in the ass. He doesn't like loud noises, and he doesn't like adult men, especially ones with dark hair and low voices. He loses his shit any time the mailman comes onto the porch.  He barks at anything that moves. He doesn't like to be left alone, so we have to put him in a doggy day care we can't nearly afford especially with a college tuition bill. And I can't imagine life without him.

Great!!
