It Shoulda Been a Book Title!

Harley and Me.... It should have been a book title.

Anyone every read that book, Marley and Me? Total suckfest, let me give you the skinny, cute dog, lovable, gets into trouble, but still you love him. Gee, that's like every dog ever. Take Harley... please! He is up for adoption. (Cute guy, he's 9 his owners ended their marriage, so I end up watching Harley. That aint right, but it just is, so, if you know anyone that can give Harley a good home, he deserves it.)

Anyway, Harley is cute, he is lovable, and he definitely gets into trouble, but he is helping me. See, Harley is a born runner, but he is late getting into the sport. At nine he is just starting to run, but he's already up to 2 miles, and he's fast! I run, I'm not fast, but I run almost everyday, I often don't want to, and I would bag out, but when Harley starts the walk, it turns into a run, and when we're done, I am already sweating, I'm warmed up, and I can almost always fit in a couple more miles.
Anyway, Harley reminded me that a running partner is a valuable commodity. The days I want to run, I run, but on those days when I don't feel like it, he cons me into it. Come on, let's just go for a quick walk to the park, next thing you know we're jog a couple of steps, then a couple more, and viola! we got our run in.



So thank you Harley, I love ya buddy, even if you are the inspiration for this bumper sticker:

As a history teacher you can surely appreciate the importance of the Weimaraner Republic in the rise of National Socialist Party in 1930's Germany. Bad dog. Really bad dog.

Chase, spot on!
Arlene, why go now? They just won the whole kit and enchilada; hence shouldn't it be Stay Sox? Go Bucs and take the Rays with you!

Superdave, funny stuff.

I thought sure I could rope "Just Me" into a comment with by calling the most excellent rubbish, Marley and Me a total suckfest. Unlike, Arlene, Chase and I, who love cats (er, make that Arlene and Chase) she's a dog person.
