My dogs

I have two.

The first is a beagle named Howie.  When I am whimsical I call him "toopy" so I can sing songs about him that easily rhyme with "Snoopy" since the legendary cartoon dog was also a beagle.  Some people think it's childish of me to get all whimsical and sing songs about my dog.  Well, I think those people are assholes.

The other is a border-collie pit bull mix named "Penny."  She is a stage 5 clinger and a bastard coward.  But, she is also the best dog I ever had.  She eats crane flies, then spits them out on Katie, which I think is funny.  Katie doesn't though, she can be such a bitch about those kinds of things.  I don't understand why.  I call her "Puppy Bear" (invariably in baby talk!) which makes the above people think I am effete and untrustworthy.  Again, it is my personal opinion that those people are assholes.

P.S. - this is the blog where I am going to blog about writing the next great sci-fi novel.  It will be set in a Japanese slum in the near future, about a guy who's selling drugs to get his brain fixed so he can computer hack again.  I'm going to call it "Jordan and the case of the injured brain."
