Hi. I’m Heather B. Armstrong, and this used to be called mommy blogging. But then they started calling it Influencer Marketing: hashtag ad, hashtag sponsored, hashtag you know you want me to slap your product on my kid and exploit her for millions and millions of dollars. That’s how this shit works. Now? Well… sit back, buckle up, and enjoy the ride.

Great picture!! Chuck is such a good doggie…

2004/12/28 at 5:59 amEar, ear! what’s this ear then?
Fish
2004/12/28 at 6:00 amLeta: Hmm. Nope. GEORGE! ain’t in puppy’s ear.
jennay
2004/12/28 at 6:00 amThat is true sibling interaction right there. One is always the bully and one is always the coward. Take it like a man Chuck!
Alex
2004/12/28 at 6:00 amIt looks like Leta is offering Chuck some sort of crazy, deformed bagel.

2004/12/28 at 6:00 amGEORGE! The entire legion of Dooce Fans miss you already! Come back!

2004/12/28 at 6:04 amThat is such a sweet picture. Chuck is a good doggie, and he certainly deserves all the pizza he can snarf up.
TexChic
2004/12/28 at 6:05 amHe says he’s been to Texas
And that’s the only place to be
Big stakes, big girls, no trouble there
That’s the place for me
Warm winds blowing
Heating blue sky
And a road that goes forever
I’m going to Texas…
Howdy, and welcome, George! We’re friendly here!
Karen
2004/12/28 at 6:06 amCHuck and Leta are so cute together and they are going to miss George as we all will. We got to see a glimmer of snow in South Mississippi Christmas day. It was so exciting since we only see snow once every 5 years and this is the 1st ever recorded snow on Chritmas Day.

2004/12/28 at 6:06 am“If I flap this ear quickly enough maybe we can fly to my Boombah over there in the next room.”
Great pic as usual. However, please refrain from posting any Boombah pics. I’ll have nightmares for days.
beachgal
2004/12/28 at 6:07 amSo sweet. Just getting caught up after being away for a few days. Seems I missed some fun, and some awesome pictures. Love the way Leta loves her Chuck. If only my pups would allow such torture…they just run from my son.
Hope you all, Dooce Family, and readers alike had a great Holiday.

L: “Blimey, mate! Look at the *size* of these ears. Let’s fuck with them a bit. Crikey!”
Jennifer in Kansas City
2004/12/28 at 6:07 amChuck is an awesome dog. How wonderful & patient he is! Best to all of you at the Dooce Household & a Happy New Year, despite it being GeorgeLess.

2004/12/28 at 6:11 amFish – re: “Saint Charles Chucklesworth of Salt Lake. Patron saint of Doritos.”
LOVE IT! Maybe that could be the next masthead for Dooce, eh?
Chris from Ohio: You got me again! Hee hee!

Chessy
2004/12/28 at 6:17 amYou do realize that between two days of Leta/Chuck bonding and GEORGE! pictures, that my poor cutemeter broke and now I am a blubbeing mess? Well, if you didn’t know, now you do.
Thanks for the triple dose of cuteness. My Ovaries and my heart thank you.

2004/12/28 at 6:18 ambye bye george
Badger
2004/12/28 at 6:21 amWhat TexChic said, except for the part where I hate that song. Come to Texas, George! At least it’s warm down here!
Emily
2004/12/28 at 6:22 amI had a dream last night that Leta was my daughter! She was being so good and smiley. Before you think I’m stalking you like most of the people who read your site please know that I’m pregnant and having weird dreams all the time. I hope you all had a nice holiday.
LadyBug
2004/12/28 at 6:25 amWhat a precious picture.
Leta: Let’s see…Wearing pink? Check. Messy, yet adorable bed
head? Check. Sweet-natured, lovable puppy? Check. Now, if I can strike a pose with the perfect balance of cuteness and mischief, the whole internet will cry out with unbridled joy…
Ty
2004/12/28 at 6:25 amGeorge! Where in Texas are you going to school??? I went to UT and live in Dallas. I hope you are headed to the Austin area, you will LOVE it!
cb
2004/12/28 at 6:28 amUh, George is too young for me, but I have a little bit of a crush on Daniel Boone. Do you have any pictures of him in one of those raccoon tail hats? Because that could really do it for me.
LadyBug
2004/12/28 at 6:29 amEveryone keeps “welcoming” George to Texas. I’m in Texas, and I’d welcome George, except…I thought he was _returning home_ to Texas? So, shouldn’t it be more like, “Welcome home, George”?
Or, actually, in Texan, more like, “Wayulkum houm, Gahrge.”
Does George! have a Texas accent?
Julie
2004/12/28 at 6:30 amSniff, I miss George already. I could eat him up in that picture of him sleeping!
GEORGE! We miss you already!
Fish
2004/12/28 at 6:32 amcb: How old are you? I have some sad news about old Danny Boy … You may need to sit down.
Rosalie
2004/12/28 at 6:34 amgeorge gone? what? say it ain’t so…
Fish
2004/12/28 at 6:34 amWait … you’re talking about GEORGE’s dad, as opposed to the historical figure.
*Fish packs it in for the day and heads home.*

2004/12/28 at 6:39 amGeorge’s departure has hit me like a kick in the nards with a steel-toed boot. I had to take an extra Zoloft today just to persevere.
jes
2004/12/28 at 6:40 amWe’re in Dallas too! And I agree with Ty – George! will love Austin. Does he have an idea of where he’ll go?
August95
2004/12/28 at 6:41 amNooo Not George. And so soon after Christmas. I hope things go well for you George. We will miss you.
Girl From Ipanema
2004/12/28 at 6:52 amPoop 🙁 bye bye GEORGE! You will be missed greatly. Check in on us once in a while and let us know how you’re doing.
Allison
2004/12/28 at 6:55 amno more GEORGE!? Noooooooo that can’t be!!! I shudder at the thought.
becaru
2004/12/28 at 6:58 amClearly Chuck thinks of Leta as part of his pack. Gotta love it.
Sara
2004/12/28 at 6:59 amI love the faces Leta makes.
