Given his breed, I think Oakley would happily skip the hellos for a chance to dive into the water and retrieve those ducks.

Hope you feel better soon, Steve.

Feel better, Steve.

While you were out, Think Progress is reporting that Bush is planning a second recess appointment for Bolton. I'm sure they can find somebody like the Heritage Foundation to pick up his salary, or maybe Bush can re-interpret the law so that Bolton can get paid.

Advice and consent? We don't need no stinking....

I saw this too, Duck. It's what I've feared all along. Bush is incapable of accepting any loss, no matter what it is. So when he actually loses a vote (or the chance at one), he bypasses it.

Too predictable.

That is a soothing picture, Steve; thanks for sharing it.

I came over to add a pointer to the Bolton recess appointment story, but see that word is already out. What a disgraceful regime.

nit picky point: Canada, not Canadian, geese.

my Canadian friends used to mock me mercilessly when i used the incorrect term. perhaps i can spare you this humiliation in future. ;=)

hyperion -- many thanks. adjusted the geese identifier! best, steve clemons

Steve, you may want another dose of novacaine.

Steve,

Do you have a larger version of that picture more suitable for use as a Desktop background ?

Oakley may be saying hello, but it looks like the ducks are saying goodbye!
Feel better...

Steve --

Sorry about the dental work.

I have two Weimars -- an 11 YO female named Kate and a 2-3 YO named Sarg. They are a handful, but worth every minute.

However, I don't think Oakley wants to be friends.

Tell Oakley I understand completely. I'm trying my best to make friends with the hedgehog that lives in my back garden, but it keeps rebuffing my advances.

Woof!
