My Dog, the Bunny Killer

A warning for animal rights activists who own or are thinking about owning a dog: your dog does not share your morals. While visting my parents over Labor Day weekend, Buddy made his first kill. Early Monday AM I went out talk to one of Mom's business associates, when Buddy came trotting over to me, proudly holding a dangling rabbit in his mouth. Unconvinced by my argument that I should have the rabbit, he proceeded to find a quiet place to enjoy what turned out to be his second breakfast of the morning.

Not sure whether to feel pride or disgust, Kari and I decided to split the duties. I feel pride, Kari feels disgust. It's going to be my job to walk the dog for a couple of days...

Other items discussed over the weekend:

• Online cartoons such as PVP online and Homestar Runner, particularly Strong Bad's email, even more particularly the li'l brudder episode


• the benefits of eating tomatoes


• how to identify the breed of a draft horse


• how to play texas hold 'em


• pond maintenance and possible uses of a stagnant pond

UPDATE: Oh yeah, the bear. Emily saw the bear first, and then Dad chased it through the woods so that everyone else could see it. Except me.
