The Dog Who Loved to Suck on Toads
"We noticed Lady spending an awful lot of time down by the pond in our backyard," Laura Mirsch recalls.

Lady would wander the area, disoriented and withdrawn, soporific and glassy-eyed.

"Then, late one night after I'd put the dogs out, Lady wouldn't come in," Laura Mirsch says. "She finally staggered over to me from the cattails. She looked up at me, leaned her head over and opened her mouth like she was going to throw up, and out plopped this disgusting toad."

2. I'm just not gonna touch that one

But I will kick this sinking stone by noting what a tough crowd the Lounge must be when a Toad-Sucking Dog can't get any traction. Whassamata, people? Did Matcom News already run this story? Am I a day late and a dollar short?

3. I've been thinking about it all day, actually.
I have a dog that sucks on EVERYTHING. Maybe I should go find a toad?

Look -- he's pretending he's a cat so he can sneak up on Spanky. :shrug:

4. Ooooo, is that a cello in the background?
Edited on Fri Nov-03-06 07:49 PM by Hardhead
Play me a song! I looooooooooooove the sound of a solitary violoncello. :D

Edit: cute animals, too. But we were talking about your cello...or is that a double bass? It does look rather large.

6. It'a a fat cello, that's why it looks big.
Needs more exercise. :)

7. LOL!
A cute way of saying you haven't been practicing lately, no? If I had a cello, I would drive my neighbors NUTS. You couldn't get it out of my hands. I'm one of those people who realize you don't need the first iota of experience to make some funky, funky sounds. I'd probably practice learning Eleanor Rigby for three weeks straight, heh. Drive everyone insane.

Score one for the Beatles.
