That's what I call it when she decides to do a bit of self grooming, if you know what I mean, lol. Sigh.<br /><br />Does that make me a sit and spin meister? Technically speaking, I am Honey's master ("meister") as she sits and spins!<br /><br />What I do is very important to this household economy. Without me there to witness all the good things that my dog is doing, how would the world know? At the very least, the activity that I am doing in response to her activity belongs in the GDP report!!! ;)<br /><br />I just need to find a way to be financially compensated for my good work. Perhaps I can chart her activity and present it on CNBC, lol.Stagflationary Markhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04568993350246477976noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8515247115132134144.post-10154391301986413172013-09-05T12:44:04.467-07:002013-09-05T12:44:04.467-07:00Who Struck John,

The Russian annual rate was about 30,000 on a population of less than 150 million (post-breakup), or about 200 times greater.<br /><br />We've got a long, long way to go before that curve fails.Who Struck Johnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06359715705053814488noreply@blogger.com
