Crash Landing!

My computer crashed last weekend thanks to Window's Service Pack 3.

SCREW YOU WINDOWS!

I lost everything. And I mean everything. Pictures, documents, and my percious iTunes collection...you name it and it's gone. My computer tried to update and install Service Pack 3 last weekend and it caused my computer to be stuck in reboot limbo. In an effort to stick it to Windows, I went out and got myself a trusty Mac. I have to say, so far, the Mac kicks ass. Everything installed smoothly--from printers to routers. I didn't have to do a damn thing. The Mac recognized all of these peripherals instantly and independently. No error messages, no messages about needing to download drivers...it's heaven!

Because I lost all of my pictures (a.k.a. several weeks worth of blog posts), it might be a few weeks before I can make up for lost time. I just wanted to give all of you readers a heads up as to why there might be some inactivity for a few weeks on the Canine Mafia's blog.

How To Entertain A Dummy

"Arg! Why won't this cone come out?!"






"$%^#&@ Cone!!"






"Is this thing held on with Super Glue??"





"Come on!!!"






"OH MY GOD! FOR THE LOVE OF GOD!!!
I just want this cone to come out!"





"Here we go! Come to Daddy, Cone!"






"And the score is:
Bruno: 1 Cone: 0.
HAHA!"



More on how this cone came about in the next episode...

A Helping Paw!

Your dog can help in the research of canine diseases specific to their breed.


Bruno's doing his part by submitting a simple cheek swab because his breed pool size is very limited (only 8 so far!). The Pugs are demanding thirty cookies each before I take any cells from them, and I'm not giving in. We're still in negotiations. Carmela laughed at me and walked away.


Maggie thanks you for helping!
Really, I promise, this is her happy face! :-)
