Pet-Peeves: Vacuum cleaner, people who don't share their food, and joggers
Favorite Toy: People's feet and Katie's slippers and that horrible doll that the Wee Lass got which must be destroyed!

Arrival Story: We rescued Mulligan from a shelter. I saw him at our local pet supply/grooming business when the shelter was displaying some of their pets there. I was still very sad after losing our dog Tyler. Mulligan was not at all what I was looking for, I go for more Shepherdy-type dogs. But he put a mind-control lock on me. Like a Mullcan Mind-Meld. I thought of him, even dreamed of him while on vacation. We went to the shelter the afternoon we got back from vacation. We were looking at another dog which the kids liked better, but I kept thinking, how was I going to explain to Mulligan why I was taking another dog home. We even put a "hold" on another dog. It was that mind-control thing, I couldn't defeat it. We took Mulligan home a week later. He was a very goofy dog. He was more of a Mulli-Person, really. He was very affectionate and had to be involved in all the activities going on at the house. He was an only dog, until we adopted Pennie. Mulligan was my third dog, and very neurotic like his fore-runners. Are all dogs neurotic? Do I just choose neurotic dogs? Or do they become neurotic from living with me?
Bio: He had a very beautiful singing voice, he really liked twinkle-twinkle little star. He sang when the kids play their musical instruments. He sang to the "Hallmark" musical snowmen. He sang when the phone rang. He also "talked" like Chewbacca, the wookie. He could order food at a drive-up window. He talked a lot, especially complaining and voicing his opinion.

Mom and the Little Lad were at the Orthodontic Office today for the first treatment in the hopes of widening Little Lad's palate and correcting his bite. He takes Taekwondo, so I fail to understand why he must have a "correct bite" as biting is not allowed in either the Public School or Taekwondo.
As Mom submitted her check to begin treatment, an urgent call was taken by the front desk personnel for an "Eaten Retainer." Yet again, the Family Dog had consumed the expensive Retainer.
I submit, what choice does a dog have? I have yet to find a vet who offers orthodontic services! I am quite certain that many a family pet has simply selected the Retainer, put it in his/her mouth, and hoped that indeed it would correct any orthodontic problems the dog has. The "chewing" of the Retainer is simply an attempt to get the retainer to fit the more narrow Dog Palate and then set to straightening the Dog's Teeth!
Of course, the Family and the Orthodontist would rather "Blame" the Dog than address the true problem: the Dog's desire for straighter teeth and an enhanced smile.
Actual headline for the Wall Street Journal, Wednesday, November 11. Okay, so I am a day behind in my reading, give me a break, it's hard to stay on top of things while dead!
"U.S. Loses Bear Fraud Case"
Yes. The U.S. Government lost a court case against: Bears!
No wonder the likes of Michael Vick can be re-instated into Football after torturing dogs if the Government itself can't win against a few Bears!
Of course the deeper issue is, that the Stock Market is called a "Bear" Market if it is down. It is called a "Pit Bull" market if it is up.
Obviously, these Bears, out in the woods, with NO Supervision, out of the reach of Government Regulations, are a lot smarter than any of us think! Here we think that all these bears are doing is stealing food from campers, scratching their backs on trees, and then sleeping the whole winter away while their intestines are plugged full of crap. These Bears, however, have managed to outwit the U.S. Attorneys. I propose that these "Bears" are NOT hibernating, but are actually working diligently during their supposed hibernation, and of course, always trying to wrestle control of the Stock Market away from the Pit Bulls.
Dogs, we must unite! Pit Bulls, we must do our part for the U.S. Economy! We must not let those nasty bears get the upper hand -- they are probably behind all that breed specific legislation against Pit Bulls anyway, all an insidious plot to control the stock market and make their own fortunes.
Mom: "Uh, Mulli, the article was about Bear Stearns. Not "Bears.""
Mulligan: "Well, the government still deserves my disgust after leaving Compression Therapy out of the House Healthcare Bill."
First, as a reminder, one of the favorite family nicknames for me was: "MO."
Since I have been gone, the "Good" Dog, that being Pennie, has slowly been "MO-orphing." While I, Mulligan, was around it was easy for Pennie to be considered the "Good Dog." She always made sure I took the blame for everything. Now, as an Only Dog, Mom and Dad have the opportunity see Pennie's true colors, and indeed she has developed many bad habits that remind them of me!
All my true hopes of Pennie MO-Orphing have been completely abandoned after Halloween. The family left the house, leaving ALL the Halloween Candy Loot in plastic bags sitting right up on the kitchen counters! Oh, if I had only been alive, I would have eaten every bit of candy, wrapper, and even plastic bags!
Pennie? Mom and Dad came home to discover Halloween Candy all over the house. Mom was horrified. "Oh, no, is Pennie poisoned? Has she eaten all that chocolate?"
No. Pennie did indeed get into the bags of Halloween candy. She spread Halloween Candy all over the house. Intact. A Full Size Hershey Bar was found in the Living Room.
One little box of Milk Duds was found opened, neatly, and the contents consumed. The rest of the candy just needed to be gathered back up.
