Saturday Rumblings

Just another Saturday for The Stooges today; while Dad was working, they went to the local Animal Shelter where Trot terrorized a ball of fur...

Rakes somehow walked a dog around the lot without strangling the dog, himself, or the people working there...

While Ciera found our previous dog Marino's doppelganger...

Apparently, I'm adopting little Buster, even though we don't have the money for a fence right now, Angie is adamant about no dogs in the house, and judging by the size of his paws, Buster will resemble a baby Elephant once he's fully grown. Not to mention feeding the beast; I already have enough trouble feeding the two-legged things that live in this house.

Besides, his name is going to be Beckett.

Ended the day with Ciera having her second softball practice, and I'm proud to say she made contact with every pitch she saw except for two.

She looks like a natural, right?

Over at Fenway Park, they are headed to the top of the 8th inning, Rangers up 3-2.

I smell walk off.

*UPDATE: It wasn't quite a walk off, but Manny hit an absolute Moon Shot in the bottom of the 8th, and only the light tower kept it from landing on the Mass Pike. Papelbon in the 9th, and it adds up to a Sox win to the tune of 5-3. 12-7 on the year and the Yankees are losing 6-0; does it get any better?

Ted, I'm buying Michael Holley's new book about Tito for the plane to Austin. You might want to think about it to help you relax:

Ciera looks great in the batter's box! You go, girl!

Hold on a minute. You're getting a dog? Have I not offerred, on this very blog, Rusty to you? And you're getting a mutt? I'm hurt. Deeply.

Ted D said...

Becks, that's a good idea. I may have to do the same thing. And I'll pass the word to Ciera!

Newt, I'm not getting a dog; like I said no fence and there is NO WAY Ang is letting a Lab in the house. Besides, your dog needs Prozac.

Tree Newt said...

Ok, as long as we're clear. Your post seemed to mean you WERE getting little Buster/Beckett. Just checking. Rusty has his bags packed.

Tell Rusty not to hold his breath.
