Where The Wild Puppies Are
Posted: Oct 29, 2009It's been quite a magical day here in the land of the Buffalo.
First, I opened the front door this morning to find a downright adorable, and quite lost, puppy staring up at me on my front porch. He looked a lot like the old movie star dog Benji, only thinner. He appeared to have not eaten in a while, and wore no collar.
We hooked him up with some puppy food and water, and he lapped it up to beat the band. I called the animal cops while we sat on the porch and played with the young fella. I felt like I was already starting to become attached to the pup, who was as playful and sweet as any I have ever seen.
After downing two bowls of food, he did his business in my front yard, (Tnanks Boots! I had named him boots because the brown haired pup had four matching white "boots.") he was ready to go when the animal cop dropped by to take him to the Humane Society, where he would no doubt be adopted quickly. I would have kept him, but I was araid my two Jack Russell terriers might mistake him for a squirrel.
Soon we were off to the movies. I had gotten a little behind on movie reviews, so Jill and I tossed all caution to the wind and went to Where The Wild Things Are. I will review it soon, but it was just a joy, just like the book.
When I got home I dove into the stack of CDs I have here for review, and pulled out the new one from Sister Hazel, a great band from Florida that I have really been enjoying for several years. After a couple of plays, I wrote my review. Check it out here.
I was about to wind down my day when the phone rang and it was my buddy Justin McCorkle, son of the late great George McCorkle. We talked for a while, and it just put a nice cherry on top of a really nice day. Good music, good movies, good friends and one cool puppy. The good things in life.
Keep it Real. Keep it Southern.

“I don't know what you mean by wizard,” said Frank, his voice growing steadier. “All I know is I've heard enough to interest the police tonight, I have. You've done murder and you're planning more! And I'll tell you this too,” he added,UGG Boots Clearance on a sudden inspiration, “my wife knows I'm up here, and if I don't come back -” UGG Boots Clearance “You have no wife,” said the cold voice, very quietly. “Nobody knows you are here. You told nobody that you were coming. Do not lie to Lord Voldemort, Muggle, for he knows…he always knows…” UGG Boots Clearance “Is that right?” said Frank roughly. “Lord, is it? Well, I don't think much of your manners, My Lord. Turn ‘round and face me like a man, why don't you?” “But I am not a man, Muggle,” said the cold voice, barely audible now over the crackling of the flames. “I am much, much more than a man. However…why not? I will face you…Wormtail, come turn my chair around.” Ugg boots clearance The servant gave a whimper. “You heard me, Wormtail.” Slowly, with his face screwed up, as though he would rather have done anything than approach his master and the hearth rug where the snake lay, the small man walked forward and began to turn the chair. The snake lifted its ugly triangular head and hissed slightly as the legs of the chair snagged on its rug. Ugg boots clearance And then the chair was facing Frank, and he saw what was sitting in it. His walking stick fell to the floor with a clatter. He opened his mouth and let out a scream. He was screaming so loudly that he never heard the words the thing in the chair spoke as it raised a wand. There was a flash of green light, a rushing sound, and Frank Bryce crumpled. He was dead before he hit the floor. Two hundred miles away, the boy called Harry Potter woke with a start.

Thank you Sandy. No, I didn't have "Boots" long enough to snap a pic. That is a pic of "Benji" from the movies. :-)

What a sweet story Michael. I really hope to meet you someday. You must have a great spirit and aura. Is that the actual puppy in the photo? He is so cute.
