Sometimes I like to torture my dog by making her watch Lassie movies.


(Note: this is funny because she looks like Lassie but certainly would never rescue a small child from a well, or spend all her time sitting by someone's grave, or thwart Nazi troops to help me escape from occupied Norway - OK, that was Son of Lassie, same dif. Occasionally I'll say, "Look, Arwen! That's how a GOOD herding dog behaves!" She remains remarkably indifferent to this "torture.")

My mom used to make Riley watch Frasier, even though he was better behaved than Eddie.

My quest to convince her that the next dog Should Not be a Jack Russell is not working.

To be fair, Moose was TRAINED to be as badly-behaved as Eddie. Apparently Moose was unpopular on the set of Frasier because he was a little robot, all training and no personality. This is just what I heard, fairly early in the show's run, though.

I think JRT/PRTs are adorable, but I sure as heck wouldn't buy one. I don't even have the energy to keep up with a Sheltie. the next dog will be a toy breed (Italian Greyhound, Cavalier King Charles Spaniel, Pug, or Chihuahua, most likely).

See... We're terrier people, our last dog was an Airedale/Poodle mix who was an absolute dream. I heard him bark maybe twice ever.

I'm lobbying for an Irish Terrier, myself, or a Brittany Spaniel. They have room for a bigger dogs, and we have a family friend with Brittanies. Sweetest dogs ever.

My son's mother is named Arwen.

but is her middle name Isobel?

(and isn't it, uh, precious --- you know, sickening? --- that my dog has a middle name? it's actually because we were stuck between two names and couldn't decide. she's a really skittish Sheltie. arwen_isobel, when i was being so precious as to keep a blog for her, which is mostly bad canine-hysterectomy jokes.)

Not Isabel, no.

And all my dogs have middle names, since they're named after real people.
