The Pup is giving me grief. He does not seem to understand that the ice cream in the bowl is mine and no I will not give it to him. Mine!

'Twas a lovely day today. The maple trees around the neighbourhood all decided that they would turn this lovely golden yellow shade over night. While walking it felt almost as if I were in Lothlorien. Autumn does amazing things for the imagination, no wonder Bilbo (and Frodo) always got antsy in the Fall.

I learned today that Michael Piller recently passed away. He was a god among Star Trek writers and the co-creator of DS9 (as well as complete creator of The Dead Zone tv series). I've always respected, admired and loved his unique talent and vision and they will all be terribly missed. Requiescat in pace.

No, Pup, I won't give you my ice cream!

So, the turn indicator on my car (the Hobbit) has been acting funny for ages and the Wrestler suddenly fixed it with the touch of a button, leading me to contemplate mutant powers, again. I can't quite decide what my mutant power would be. There are just too many possibilities. Plus there's always the difference between what one would like them to be and what they would actually be. I'm sure Scott Summers didn't want to suddenly have visious beams of light come shooting out of his eyes but shoot they did. I love the X-Men and they're hardly concealed metaphors about the adolescent experience. ;-)

Ha HA! The Pup has given up and gone to greener pastures. I am victorious, once again!

How could you deprive a poor puppy of icecream

:-P

[liptonrm.livejournal.com]

Because he is a menace when he gets what he wants. He puts on that 'oh aren't I the cutest thing ever' face and when you fall for it you fall for everything. He's a crafty one.

And, I might have let him lick out the bowl anyway ...

Our dog ADORED ice cream. We would give her the (nearly) empty bowl to lick, and she would lick lick lick it until it was traveling across the floor and into another room. And still she was licking it.

How adorable. Dogs, they can't help but be sweet and crazy and absolutely wonderful.

*hugs her pup*

mmmmmmmm....

why is there no ice cream in my house??

There is no ice cream in your house? For that you deserve the scary Frodo icon. / spooky voice

Away, you must away to the grocery store for it is calling your name!

[hiyacynth.livejournal.com]

Why would you punish me with the Shelob icon? That was just mean.

*pouts, still without ice cream*

Nice to see you around again. Boo on Michael Piller. One of the big Star Trek guys talked at my college my freshman year and I'm trying to remember - but I think it was Rick Berman not Michael Piller. Sorry.

Yay useful mutant powers! And your poor Pup being denied ice cream!

[liptonrm.livejournal.com]

It's nice to be around again. Being without the internet is a hateful experience. Bleh.

Everybody is sympathizing with the poor, poor Pup. What about my needs?! Don't I deserve the happy, happy ice cream that I bought with my non-existent money? Huh, don't I? *fake pouts*

Okay, you should rush Pup to vet, as no normal puppy would give up on the ice cream until the empty bowl has been in the sink for at least 15 minutes. Obviously he's defective.

[liptonrm.livejournal.com]

He is not defective! He may have been fixed at too young an age but that's not our fault, that's on the Humane Society's shoulders! Plus, he knows from good experience that I won't give up my food for a soulful look and a happy wag.

Hey, stop making Dr. House look at me like that. I'm telling the truth!
