Aww man, I (Barley Dogg – with 2 Gs) gave my parents the eyes for months and then, a few weeks ago the ‘rents went to the SPCA and brought home a little girl puppy named Jezebel. I love playing with her and cuddling her, but boy-oh-boy do I get embarrassed when she pees in the house! Sometimes younger siblings are SO embarrassing! (My mom blogs about us bunches and thinks its cute to take pictures of us together – here: http://homeinthecountry.wordpress.com/category/jezebel/)

So, Burger, I totally think you should keep rocking those eyes… I bet they’ll work sooner or later! :)

I love hearing about dogs who find a home! Whether they’re purebred or mangy little mutts it just warms my small Mexican heart. Some of the best dogs out there are rescues. So much love to give!

Right on, Loren. Even those who lean toward purebred snobbery (or have other reasons, like allergies, for wanting a specific breed) can still do the right thing and find a breed-specific rescue. I was looking for a sister for my pooch (a MinPin mix) recently and found a great MinPin rescue (www.minpinrescue.org), from whence came the most adorable little girl doggy I could have asked for. Hurrah!

Hmm, no warts yet but I do have two little moles with whiskers coming out of them (one on each cheek). But I agree that they’re more beauty mark than mole. I’m like the male Cindy Crawford over here.

Emily brought up dogs with mole genes and it reminded me of my growing concern about my “mole” proclivity. Albeit unrelated to this conversation, my parents are pretty sure that my “mole” is a big ole wart. It’s right above my mouth, just like Cindy Crawford. I try to tell them it’s a beauty mark, but it’s getting bigger and bigger! They keep humiliating me with all those mole jokes from Austin Powers. I just hope they find a cure… I realize this is not a medical help blog, but if you’ve ever had a wart, Burger, I’d love any advice!

Hey Meredith KA,

I do like to hand out candy (although my parents usually humiliate me by making me answer the door in costume). Stay tuned for the pics of this year’s colossal embarrassment tomorrow…

And as far as I know there’s no brother or sister in the cards for me just yet, but I do work hard on all my aunts and uncles whenever they come over so they consider taking on a four-legged companion that I can play with!

These are such cute pictures! Our pup Lola (herself a rescue) also loves to burrow under the covers…we sometimes think she might be a Cocker Spaniel/mole mix.

Burger,

Does this mean that YOU’RE getting a new brother or sister soon???
