Me: Dogs, I'm probably going to be gone all day today, getting my teeth pulled out by the dentist.
Jeffrey: What? No way? You poor thing!
Muttin: What in the world are you doing that for?
Duke: Who's gonna throw my tennis ball for me?
Me: Cause the dentist said my teeth are no good, and dentures would be better.
Jeffrey: Do you have soft foods and lots to drink for afterwards? Cause I doubt you'll feel like eating much.
Muttin: She could do without a few meals, it wouldn't hurt her any.
Duke: Where is my tennis ball?
Me: Muttin, you're so nice. Not.
Jeffrey: Well, when you come home, how about if I curl up right next to you in bed, and watch over you? And I'll have Muttin answer the phone, and answer the door should anyone call or come by, k?
Muttin: I spose it's the least I can do - hopefully you'll be able to feed us tonite, right?
Me: That'd be sweet, Jeffrey. Don't get upset tho, if I don't notice things for awhile cause I'll be doped up, okay? And yes, Mutt, I'll feed you. Altho, it wouldn't hurt you any to go without a meal...
Muttin: Yea yea yea.
Duke: So... what you're saying is ... no tennis ball fetching today?
Me: Uh. Yes Duke.

Muttin looks like an overgrown salamander in that pic. You really should stop taking unflattering pics of the poor things. I mean, get them to pose or something. And, Duke... well, let's not even go there. I'd hurt his feelings if I comment about him here. He reads your comments, right? Of course he does. Give him my love.
Oh, and good luck with the... ordeal.

I'm told by MsShad that he does NOT read the comments. Only Muttin does. She might be a little offended but I have to agree with you. MsShad just SO caught the horror in Duke's eyes at not getting his ball throwing in!

Duke doesn't care about anything but the tennis ball, and the person who throws it. And he's not picky about who throws it either. Muttin was not going for the overgrown salamander look. She was going for the empathy look. Obviously, she couldn't pull it off.
