Juno is a funny, poignant, and very real movie about a smart-alecky-wise-beyond-her years 16 year old named Juno who finds out she is pregnant after her first love-making session with track running orange Tic-Tac eating Bleeker. She decides to give the baby up for adoption and finds the ‘perfect’ couple in Vanessa & Mark Loring. The dialogue is snappy, the story is well-acted, and the end result is one of those movies that you tell people about. But, don’t take my word for it. Check out the trailers.
So long, sweet green santa dog. Your life was short and full of ups and downs (mainly downs), but you probably never dreamed that you would come to live in a house with a vicious 5 pound yorkie poo. You fought valiantly, but, in the end, your dreams were flattened (and so was your body after having all of the life force sucked out of you by aforementioned yorkie poo).
The Mortal Wound
Coco went for the green santa dog version of the jugular: that seam behind your left ear. Once that little tear began, I’m afraid it was all over….just a matter of time before you became
A Two Dimensional Version of Your Previous 3D Self
Goodbye green santa dog. In your next life may you be the toy of a baby Maltese.
So, what do you think? Did we go over the top at Christmas with Coco?
Well, I guess that depends on what you define as over the top. If it includes purchasing her a bed warmer (see electric cord at right of bed) that turns on when she lays on her bed, then I’d have to say yes. If it includes buying her a red grinning Santa dog, then yes. If it includes accepting a Christmas package from the mail carrier to be delivered to Miss Coco, then yes, yes, yes. Coco had the Christmas of her life this year - tidbits of filet on Christmas Day, plenty of bracing snowy walks, and a thousand romps with her favorite ball (see it resting to the left of the photo. She loves to have all of her toys near her for easy access). She even found time to buy my husband a gift card to his favorite coffee shop!
We ship all of our packages through the US Post Office Priority Mail and our ordering deadline for Christmas this year is 12/20/07.

If you can’t find it, well, I’m just not sure what to think about your sleuthing capabilities. Discount code is good from November 1st thru November 5th, 2007.
I’m reading a great book right now. It’s called The Faith Club by Ranya Idliby, Suzanne Oliver, and Priscilla Warner. Priscilla’s father often told her a story called “The Paper Bag Story”. Basically, this is the gist of it. Take your problems, challenges, annoyances in life and put them into a paper bag. Then, imagine that everybody else in the universe has done the same thing. All of the bags are thrown onto one big pile. Now, here’s the big question: if you could pick any of those brown bags full of problems, which would you pick? I don’t know about you, but I’d be scrambling around looking for the bag with my problems in it. Just a little something to ponder this week…..
