Eli and Chuck

Beth took this photograph last week and captured Chuck's look of "I was just in the neighbor's backyard doing something I wasn't supposed to be doing, but you still love me, right?" You can tell he's guilty by the way his ears are turned sideways like that.
Happy Birthday (Yesterday) to Eli!

Laughing at the "just got laid" strut.

I think Chuck wants to challange Eli to a race. The winner gets a Carmel chocolate chip cookie...yum!

Where can I find that Christmas 2003 picture of Chuck that is on that person's desktop or wherever?

Eli also looks like he was doing something he shouldn't be doing. Heehee!

If by "doing" you really mean "doo-ing," then, yes, that is exactly what happened.
No, you won't still love me, but I feel SOOOO much better.

I have a cat that couldn't care less if you caught her puking up a hairball-encasted chipmunk on the brandy new wool rug. I admire Chuck for his conscience.

Dooooce... did you actually catch Chuckiepoo with only one foot on the ground??
I absolutely recognize that guilty look. The tails I could tell....

Dooce,
At my son's b-day party the other night, I saw my mother had a new camera. Could it be? The Nikon D70. I pulled up your site and showed her all of your amazing pictures. Then I went through your FAQs and showed her how to give them that "dream", or "mashed potatos" look. She was thrilled. I can't wait to get one.
BTW - I hate you both for having better cameras than I do. Bastard mother fuckers! (I mean that in the nicest way!)
Anyone else notice that Fish said Screaming Sphincter! Greatness.

If I read that someone wrote "bastard mother fucker" and claimed it was being said it the nicest of terms, I would have called said person (#67, Melaine S.) a god damn fucking liar. But since I read Catch-22 over the weekend, I found there is great humor in statements like "bastard mother fucker." So my hat is off to you #67.

I don't know, I think Eli looks guilty as hell, and Chuck looks like he's got a happy strut, like he just got laid.

Why must dogs give themselves away so easily?

Chuck looks hungry. I'm afraid he will turn into a maneater one day.
Not really Chuck. I loooooovvveee you!!! Chuck! Leave those Armstrongs and come live with us! We will give you all the treats you can handle.

MY cats do look guilty, usually if they've been up on the kitchen counter eating something they're not supposed to. I'll hear a "thump" as they jump down, and as I run in to yell at them, their ears flatten and they slink/run away even before I can open my mouth. It's obvious they are guitly; if they were just hopping down from the washer, they would not have that look.

By the way, the kid is cute too.

There needs to be Dooce anonymous meetings.
Every time I have to stay two days away from my computer, I immediately rush though my pass word protected screens, typing the wrong passwords several times while breaking out in a cold sweat.
My teeth grind the whole time I reading everything I missed, reminding me that I need those horrible crooked wisdom teeth pulled, but that is so not as important as not missing a word Heather has to say.
My heart rate slows down about four hours later. Hello my name is Christi and I am a Dooceaholic…

I'm pretty sure an arranged marriage is in order for Leta and Eli.
I hope she likes older men.

Why does Chuck look like his feet aren't touching the ground?

Leta doesn't like the BYU Cougars? Isn't that grounds for dismisal from the state of Utah and a lifetime of eternal damnation via buffalo wing farts?

What's the "thumbs down" button on the remote control? I haven't a clue. Volume?

When asked what he wanted for Christmas, my precocious 4 year old nephew said he wanted a "vehicle he could drive on the road."
(He dreams big.)
That tractor looks like the ticket. Where'd Beth get that?

Eli has the cutest cheeks. They are so rosey! Looks like he was playing in mama's makeup! :P
