My dog, the cyborg

As most of you know, our dog Indigo is a cyborg. In the scruff of his neck is a permanently implanted tiny microchip. When activated by a handheld reader, this microchip displays information about him as well as emergency contact info for us. This practice, called "chipping," has become so standard that most kennels won't accept a dog without one.

For years, MeiMei and I have been declaring that this is the wave of the future. It will start with people chipping their kids to address fears of abduction. Soon after, it will spread to people who want to carry their medical records or personal data or "Visa Chip" with them all the time. Imagine unlocking doors with a wave of your hand. Walking out of a grocery store with a box of cereal as the charge is deducted from your account--no checkout necessary.

Well, it has begun. Not with kids as we thought, but with cops--in Mexico. Read on...

finger-licking good

today at the park, this little kid - maybe five years old - came up and asked to pet me. i got a few good ear scratches before the kid put his index finger on my tongue. i think - and this is totally understandable - he wanted to feel what a big wet pink tongue feels like.

bondage, baby

the daisy collar has had its day! i am now sporting leopard-skin cause i'm into the whole bondage thing. uh-huh. i'm considering getting an "i heart reagan" dog tag made. you know, for respect.

my girl

i live in dc now. last night i had bella, my new girlfriend, over. we really like each other. but i'm not ready to say the "l" word just yet. won't share the same pillow, but i'll lie next to her with my spine touching hers. we pretend to ignore each other but really follow each other around. sorry the picture is out of focus - i'm just learning how to use a camera.

begging

i have a KILLER begging face. i've perfected the "oh..can't. go. on. life's. so. hard... soooo, soooo hungeee" look. it's all liquid brown pleading eyes. but the secret is to accompany it with a little drool. joanna and paul fall for it all the time. the other morning, i got a krispy kreme doughnut. score!
