TURK,

I'VE ASKED LONNIE AND SARA WHAT THE DEAL WAS.

THEY CAN'T SEEM TO REMEMBER WHAT HAPPENED WITH ANA LEE. SORRY I'M NOT MORE HELP.

DEAR CHRIS,
ACCORDING TO MERRIAM-WEBSTER'S DICTIONARY, THERE ARE 7 USES FOR THE WORD "PREGNANT". ONLY ONE OF THOSE USES HAS TO DO WITH EXPECTING A CHILD. STATISTICALLY, THERE IS ONLY A 1 IN 7 CHANCE THAT LONNIE AND SARA INCORRECTLY USED "WE" AND "PREGNANT" TOGETHER.

IT APPEARS TO ME, THAT LONNIE AND SARA HAD TWO SEPARATE PARAGRAPHS IN THE LATEST ENTRY ON THEIR SITE. THEIR FIRST PARAGRAPH CONTAINED THE MEANING - "WE ABOUND IN WIT AND RESOURCEFULNESS. WE DO NOT PULLETH YOUR CHAIN". THEN THEY STARTED A NEW THOUGHT IN THE NEXT PARAGRAPH MEANING - "NOT ONLY ARE WE FULL OF WIT, ETC. BUT WE ARE EXPECTING A CHILD ON AUGUST 10TH. WE EXPECT THIS CHILD TO HAVE THE SAME RESOURCEFULNESS AS US. TAKE A LOOK AT THE FIRST IMAGE OF AFOREMENTIONED CHILD."

I HOPE THAT THIS HELPS,
KIDDIE

DEAR MR. PINGSWITCHES,
WHAT AN ODD NAME. YOU PROBABLY DIDN'T REALIZE IT AT THE TIME, BUT "THANK YOU AHEAD OF TIME" WAS QUITE AN UNDERSTATEMENT. I APOLOGIZE FOR THE DELAY.

AS A 'WORKING BREED' DOG, MY STANDARD 'BENCH FEE' FOR EVEN LOOKING AT A SCHEMATIC IS BASED ON MY HOURLY RATE - $85/HOUR. PLEASE FORWARD ME YOU PAYMENT INFORMATION AND I'LL BE MORE THAN HAPPY TO TAKE A LOOK.

AS FAR AS DEALING WITH 'STATIC CLING', YOU MAY WANT TO TRY USING DRYER SHEETS TO CUT DOWN ON THIS PROBLEM.

DEAR WONDER WEINER,
FOR MY LUSTROUS COAT, I FIND THAT REMEMBERING TO 'LATHER, RINSE AND REPEAT' WITH AN ORGANIC SHAMPOO SEEMS TO WORK WELL. ALSO, I LIKE TO TAKE SOME FISH OIL SUPPLEMENTS FOR OMEGA 3 AND THE ANTIOXIDANTS. THIS KEEPS ME FROM AGING AT THE TYPICAL '7 DOG YEARS PER YEAR RATE' I THINK I'VE REACHED MY GOAL OF 3 OR 4 DOG YEARS PER YEAR.

AB ROUTINES - AVOID THE LATEST AB TRENDS AND JUST WATCH 30 MINUTES OF FUNNY SITCOMS A DAY - FOR THE BELLY LAUGHS. I LIKE TO DOWNLOAD EPISODES OF NBC'S 'THE OFFICE' AND WATCH THEM ON MY VIDEO iPod WHILE I RUN MY ERRANDS.

DEAR SIR OR MADAM:
YOUR EMAIL HAS BEEN FORWARDED TO P.E.T.A.. I'M REQUIRED BY FEDERAL LAW TO PASS ON ALL CORRESPONDENCE FROM POTENTIAL CANINE ABUSERS. CALLING YOUR DOG STUPID, THOUGH CRUEL, IS PART OF FREE SPEECH. HOWEVER, THE WORD 'KILLING' CATEGORIZES YOUR EMAIL AS AN 'ORANGE LEVEL DOG THREAT'.

NO LEGAL ACTION HAS BEEN TAKEN YET. IN THE MEANTIME, PLEASE TAKE IT EASY ON THE HYPERBOLE.

MIKE AND VICKI,
I DON'T SEE MYSELF AS A BLOGGER. I FIND THAT USING THE WEB TO HELP THE COMMON MAN (AND THE COMMON DOG) BY ANSWERING QUESTIONS IS A BETTER APPLICATION OF THE POWER OF THE INTERNET THAN ANY BLOG.

REALLY, WHO WANTS TO READ SOME SCHMO'S BLOG, RIFE WITH GRAMMAR AND SPELLING ERRORS, ABOUT WHAT HE ATE TODAY - AND HOW THAT MADE HIM FEEL. ALSO, THIS GUY HATES SOMETHING, AND BLOGS ABOUT THAT A LOT.

NO THANKS,
KIDDIE

Mike Frengel - Butler, PA

DEAR MIKE (OR MICHELLE, NOW?),

MAYBE YOU JUST WENT TO A CHINESE BUFFET, GOT DRUNK, AND CAME UP WITH NAMES FOR YOUR PRIVATES - SUCH AS BOBBY AND BILLY. MAYBE NOT? IF NOT, I'M SORRY FOR YOUR LOSS, BUT AM EXCITED ABOUT YOUR NEWFOUND MOTHERHOOD.

DEAR MALACHI & WESLEY,

DEAR ________
IT'S ALWAYS NICE TO HAVE A NAME THAT NOT MANY OTHER DOGS HAVE (E.G. KIDDIE). IT AVOIDS CONFUSION AND HELPS KEEP YOU UNIQUE.

MY SUGGESTION WOULD BE "WILEY". (PRONOUNCED WHY-LEE) THAT WAY, IT'S SORT OF LIKE A SYNONYM FOR SNEAKY (WILY), BUT A GOOD DOG NAME THAT YOU WON'T HEAR A DOZEN OTHER TIMES FOR A DOZEN OTHER DOGS AT THE DOG PARK.

SMELL YA LATER, WILEY!

01/16/2006

THEY'RE VERY REPUTABLE BREEDERS AND CARE A LOT ABOUT THEIR DOGS AND THE OWNERS, SO IT'S AN HONOR TO BE ON THEIR SITE.

01/01/2006

DEAR SELF-PROCLAIMED MEAN CAT OWNER,
I SUGGEST POSTING A SIGN NEAR YOUR BED THAT PROHIBITS CREATURES WITH IQ'S BELOW A CERTAIN LEVEL FROM GETTING ON YOUR BED. THIS MAY BE A GOOD PRACTICE EVEN WITHOUT YOUR CAT.

IN ORDER TO KEEP THE CAT OFF THE BED, I SUGGEST SETTING THE IQ REQUIREMENT AT 5 OR 6. THAT WAY, IF A BUTTERFLY FLEW IN AND LANDED ON YOUR BED, IT COULD STAY, WHILE THE CAT WOULD HAVE TO WATCH FROM THE FLOOR.

THIS MAY BE OBVIOUS, BUT YOU WILL MOST LIKELY HAVE TO EXPLAIN (PROBABLY DAILY) TO YOUR CAT WHAT THE SIGN SAYS AND WHAT IT MEANS.

12/20/2005

MAV, I TOTALLY AGREE. CATS ARE STUPID. I UNFORTUNATELY HAVE TO SEE CATS WHEN WE VISIT FAMILY IN INDIANA.

DON'T EAT HER. YOU'RE ABOVE THAT, MAV. JUST MAKE SURE YOU "MARK YOUR TERRITORY" SO THE CAT KNOWS WHAT'S YOURS.

Special Christmas Question
December 2005

(*Note I ACTUALLY RECEIVED THIS SAME QUESTION FROM DOZENS OF YOU OUT THERE - ESPECIALLY FOWLERS)

DEAR DOZENS, I SUGGEST YOU JUST PUT ON THAT STUPID MARCHING BAND HAT, OR WHATEVER YOUR FAMILY MAKES YOU DO AND LOVE THEM ANYWAY.

03/13/05

DEAR WINZTON,
HOW WAS YOUR NAP? I ENJOY NAPS, TOO.

HERE ARE YOUR ANSWERS. NO, WE DON'T HAVE ANY SNOW HERE. WE HARDLY EVER DO, THOUGH THE LOCAL WEATHERMEN LIKE TO PRETEND THAT THERE'S ALWAYS A CHANCE. YOU COULD PROBABLY STEAM OUR WHOLE BACKYARD IN ONE TRY IF WE DID HAVE SNOW, BUT WE DON'T. IT WAS 75º AND SUNNY YESTERDAY.

YES, I AM A GIRL, BUT BEFORE YOU GET YOUR HOPES UP...DON'T BE JEALOUS THAT I'VE BEEN CHATTING ONLINE ALL DAY WITH OTHER DOGS. BESIDES, EVERYBODY KNOWS THAT I'M TRAINING TO BE A CAGE FIGHTER.

03/06/2005

BELIEVE IT OR NOT STEVE, THE SAN FRANCISCO CHRONICLE HAS HIRED ME TO DO AN UNDERCOVER INVESTIGATION OF THE WHOLE BARRY BONDS AND STEROIDS THING.

I RECENTLY TAPED A PHONE CONVERSATION WITH A GIANTS PLAYER (WHO WISHED TO REMAIN ANONYMOUS) AND HE SAID - "YEAH, BARRY TAKES STEROIDS. . . I SEEN HIM WITH MY OWN EYES." (CLICK HERE FOR AUDIO)

I DON'T THINK THAT BARRY'S TAINTED STATS AFFECT PUPPIES AS MUCH AS YOU MIGHT FEAR. NOT TOO MANY PUPPIES ARE INTO BASEBALL NOWADAYS. THEY'RE INTO STUFF LIKE POLO, GREYHOUND RACING, YOU KNOW, STUFF WITH ANIMALS.

DEAR BEATRICE,
TO BE HONEST, WITH MY WEB SITE, MY UPCOMING CD, AND MY JOB CATCHING FRISBESS DOWN AT THE PARK, I DON'T HAVE A WHOLE LOT OF TIME FOR "SLUMBER PARTIES" AND "FRIENDS." BORDER COLLIES ARE A WORKING BREED, AND I DEFINITELY PREFER TO STAY BUSY.

I SUPPOSE THAT IF I HAD TO, I WOULD ENJOY GOING TO THE PARK AND CATCHING FRISBEES, NOT AS A JOB, BUT MORE AS A FUN THING TO DO.

01/31/2005

DEAR WORRIED MOM,
THIRD SET OF STITCHES IN THE SAME EYE? IT SOUNDS TO ME LIKE YOU NEED A BETTER DOCTOR MORE THAN YOU NEED A SAFER SON.

AS FAR AS ME BEING WORRIED ABOUT LONNIE...IT IS HARD TO WATCH HIM GET HURT SO FREQUENTLY, BUT IT'S NICE TO KNOW THAT HE HITS HIS HEAD ENOUGH THAT HE USUALLY FORGETS ALL ABOUT HIS INJURIES. SO, I DON'T REALLY SEE HIM SUFFER FOR TOO LONG AT A TIME. THAT MAKES IT KIND OF NICE.

01/28/2005

CHECK IN THE KITCHEN. I WAS CARRYING THEM AROUND AND MUST HAVE LEFT THEM BY MY DISH WHEN I DECIDED TO EAT. SORRY.

01/21/2005

WOLFY, SORRY FOR THE DELAYED RESPONSE. I JUST RETURNED FROM NAPLES ON BUSINESS.

HERE'S MY SUGGESTION. . .NOW THAT I KNOW YOU'RE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE STEELERS LOSSES IN AFC CHAMPIONSHIP GAMES IN THE PAST DECADE. HAVE A PATRIOTS PARTY. THAT WAY, THEY LOSE AND EVERYBODY'S HAPPY.

AS FAR AS PINK GOES, I WOULDN'T SAY IT MAKES YOU LOOK FAT AS MUCH AS YOU MAKE THAT PINK TOP LOOK REALLY TINY.

01/17/2005

DEAR BROKEN FAN, THERE ARE A LOT OF RUMORS AND FAKE PHOTOGRAPHS OF ME ON THE INTERNET. PICTURES AND STORIES OF ME WITH CATS, PICTURES OF ME AT CLINTON'S INAUGURATION, ETC. I'VE INCLUDED A PICTURE RECENTLY DISCOVERED OF ME WITH A NEW ENGLAND PATRIOTS FAN (WITH ME OBVIOUSLY SUPERIMPOSED). I WOULD NEVER ENGAGE IN SUCH RIDICULOUS BEHAVIOR. DON'T BELIEVE EVERYTHING YOU HEAR (OR SEE).

01/09/2005

ED - ARE YOU TELLING ME YOU KNOW THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN VENTI AND TALL, BUT NOT JUICE AND CIDER? THAT'S LIKE BEING ABLE TO CALCULATE LOGARITHMS IN YOUR HEAD AND NOT KNOW HOW TO TIE YOUR SHOES.

SERIOUSLY, THOUGH. . .WHAT'S THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN CARAMEL AND CARMEL? PROBABLY THE SAME DIFFERENCE BETWEEN CIDER AND JUICE. SO THERE YOU HAVE IT. . . . SAME DIFFERENCE.

01/06/2005

DEAR MISTER S., ALL I CAN SAY IS - EGGS FOR BREAKFAST, THEN CHICKEN FOR LUNCH AND/OR SUPPER. SO, IN MY DAILY SCHEDULE, THE EGGS DO COME FIRST, BUT THE CHICKEN COMES AROUND MORE OFTEN.

01/06/2005

DEAR WOLFY, I THINK WE CAN ALL AGREE THAT YOU'RE CONFUSED. YOU SOUND ANGRY, THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN IT SOUNDS LIKE YOU ATE SOMETHING GOOD. YOU JUST MAY BE ANOTHER CHEESE ADDICT.

IT'S VERY COMMON THIS TIME OF YEAR WITH ALL OF THE RECENTLY CONSUMED HICKORY FARMS CHRISTMAS GIFT BOXES. FRUSTRATED WITH THE VICIOUS CYCLE OF BEING ANGRY AT YOURSELF FOR HAVING EATEN SO MUCH ("RUFF, RUFF, RRRRRRRGGGGGG"), THEN GIVING IN AGAIN TO THE POWER OF THE CHEESE ("MMMMM.")

I RECOMMEND THAT ALL YOU PEOPLE (AND DOGS) OUT THERE START EATING SOMETHING OTHER THAN CHEESE.

1/05/2005

DEAR CHEESY, LET ME GET THIS STRAIGHT -- "YOU LIKE CHEESE, AND IT'S HARD?" I DON'T KNOW WHY ANYONE WOULD BE ADDICTED TO HARD CHEESE. ARE WE TALKING PARMESAN HERE, EXPIRED CHEDDAR, OR WHAT? NO WONDER YOU WANT TO STOP EATING CHEESE. YOU'RE EATING THE WRONG KIND.

I DO, HOWEVER, LIKE YOUR IDEA OF GOING COLD TURKEY. BUT, I WOULDN'T GO WITH A HARD CHEESE, MAYBE SOMETHING SOFTER LIKE SMOKED ROFUMO OR A GOUDA.

12/23/2004

TELL KIM THAT YOU CAN'T GET HER THE SHOES BECAUSE THEY DON'T MAKE MANOLO BLAHNIKS THAT LARGE. I KNOW SHE HAS LARGE FEET BECAUSE I'VE BEEN AROUND HER BEFORE. SHE'S STEPPED ON MY PAWS AND KNOCKED OVER LAMPS WITH THOSE THINGS. YIKES.

THAT WAY SHE DOESN'T HAVE TO KNOW THAT YOU CAN'T AFFORD A NICE GIFT BECAUSE YOU'RE CHEAP. NO HARM DONE.

12/22/2004

KIM, THE ANSWER TO YOUR QUESTION WOULD BE: A LITTLE FROM COLUMN A AND A LITTLE FROM COLUMN B. I'VE STUDIED HER BEHAVIOR VERY CLOSELY AND I'VE DETERMINED THAT SHE IS ON A SINKING SHIP THAT WASN'T SEAWORTHY TO BEGIN WITH.

12/16/2004

THAT'S EASY, TIM. A FEW DAYS BEFORE CHRISTMAS, I GET IN THE CAR AND FALL ASLEEP. WHEREVER I WAKE UP IS WHERE I'LL SPEND THAT PART OF THE HOLIDAYS.

A FEW DAYS LATER, I GET IN THE CAR AGAIN AND WAKE UP SOMEWHERE ELSE.

QUITE SIMPLE, REALLY.

DEAR MINNIE (OR MINNIFER LOUISE OR MISS MINNIE OR WHATEVER SUITS YOU BEST),

THOUGH YOU'RE ONLY A 3 POWND (SIC) YORKY, YOU SOUND WEIGHTED DOWN WITH MORE THAN ENOUGH WORRIES FOR A GREAT DANE. LET'S TAKE A CLOSER LOOK AT YOUR CONCERNS AND QUESTIONS.

QUESTION 1 - "WHY DOES MY MOMMY INSIST ON DRESSING ME UP IN DOG CLOTHES?" TO BE HONEST WITH YOU, I HAVE NO IDEA. PEOPLE ARE WEIRD. (LOOK AT WHAT I HAVE TO DEAL WITH ) I SUGGEST WATCHING A FEW MINUTES OF SOME DAYTIME TALK SHOWS ONCE A WEEK AND REMIND YOURSELF - THINGS COULD BE WORSE.

QUESTION 2 - "AM I A BABY OR NOT?" MINNIE, IT'S LIKE I'VE ALWAYS SAID, "IF IT LOOKS LIKE A BABY, DRESSES LIKE A BABY, AND HAS ACCIDENTS LIKE A BABY -- IT'S PROBABLY A BABY. . . OR A SMALL DOG DRESSED LIKE ONE."

QUESTION 3 - "HOW BIG ARE MY FEELINGS, KIDDIE?. . .I WONDERED IF IT'S DANGEROUS FOR MY HEALTH FOR MY FEELINGS TO GET HURT, DUE TO MY SIZE AND ALL." THE SIZE OF YOUR FEELINGS IS A MATTER OF CONJECTURE, SO I'LL JUST DEAL WITH THE MEDICAL SIDE OF YOUR QUESTION. I'M NOT WORRIED ABOUT YOUR FEELINGS GETTING HURT. THE THING THAT RAISES SOME CONCERN FOR ME IS THE POSSIBILITY (OR IN YOUR CASE - PROBABILITY) OF DEVELOPING ULCERS. I THINK YOU NEED SOME HOBBIES TO ESCAPE TO AND RELAX. I PERSONALLY ENJOY FRISBEE, WATCHING TV, PLAYING MAH-JONG, AND RUNNING REALLY FAST.

I HOPE THAT THIS HELPS.

Are you traveling or hosting guests this Christmas? Received your Christmas card but it was full of CRAP so I know nothing about what you guys are doing. I see at your website, all your Christmas letters are CRAP! So -- I guess the key is to communicate with you throughout the year -- not at Christmas!!!

THANKS FOR ASKING! WE'RE TRAVELING.

Dear Kiddie, A recent report published by the esteemed googlefight.com found that cats beat dogs at a rate of 27,700,000 to 22,800,000. These figures, along with the upcoming release of Garfield (20th Century Fox, 2004), beg the question: "Is there a media bias against the canine species? Do cats have it better than dogs? What, exactly, is pasteurized processed cheese product?" Okay, so that's really three questions, but I am desperately seeking your insight on these important matters.
Melissa F., 501 Union St, The Tundra (Nashville, TN 12/17/03)

MELISSA, MELISSA, MELISSA. THE ANSWER TO YOUR FIRST QUESTION (I.E. IS THERE A MEDIA BIAS AGAINST THE CANINE SPECIES?) ~NO, THIS IS NO BIAS. THE ONLY REASON MORE PEOPLE SEARCH "CATS" ON GOOGLE THAN "DOGS" IS BECAUSE MORE CAT OWNERS ARE IGNORANT AND LONELY THAN DOG OWNERS. THAT'S ALL.

DO CATS HAVE IT BETTER THAN DOGS? NO WAY. GO AHEAD AND REREAD MY LAST ANSWER. MISERY LOVES COMPANY, BUT DOGS DON'T CARE FOR MISERY.

QUESTION #3 ~ PASTEURIZED PROCESSED CHEESE PRODUCT IS NOT REALLY "EXACTLY" ANYTHING. IT'S EVERYTHING YOU DON'T WANT IN A SNACK AND SOMETIMES IN AN AEROSOL.

Just curious, is a dogs mouth really cleaner than a humans?
Jay H. Pendleton, Indiana

MY MOUTH IS DEFINITELY CLEANER THAN SARA AND LONNIE'S PUT TOGETHER. SO TO ANSWER YOUR QUESTION. YES. ME BEING "A" DOG, SINGULAR, AND SARA AND LONNIE BEING TWO SPECIFIC CASES OF HUMANS WITH SUB-CANINE MOUTH HYGIENE. HOWEVER, THE BASSETT HOUND, PAST THE AGE OF 7 (HUMAN YEARS) ISN'T A BREED THAT YOU'D WANT TO SWAP SPIT WITH - EVER.
