Car wash goes to dogs
A car wash place in Des Moines has added a dog washing station. I wonder if the water is warm and the towels soft like at our house? Mom washes me in the tub. I love my baths. I love everything about them. The wetting down part is nice, the soapy rub-my-back part is amazing, and the rinsing just adds to the anticipation of the finale: towel rubbing!
There is nothing I do not like about a bath.

Andy the Lhasa Apso
Andy the Lhasa has an AMEX but not a Verizon Wireless account. But Verizon's debt collection service sent Andy the Lhasa in California the unpaid bill that should have gone to another Andy somewhere on the East Coast.
I think Andy looks like a pretty cool dog!

We got licked!
Hey check out the post today on Licked Toys! That's us! And our most beloved-of-all-toys, the Big Dogs Frisbee.
We heart that frisbee.
We had a horrible incident a few weeks ago when it flew into the neighbor's yard. They weren't home, so we couldn't get it back. I was completely confused and a little depressed. But the next day, the frisbee came home! Mom says the neighbor tossed it back, but I think it missed me and found its own way home.

The Sacramento County Library Rant
Here is my story. I will leave it to you to decide if I am being overly cranky or unreasonable.
Two years ago, I tried to use my library card. I don't use it much. Just sometimes, to check out a book or maybe an audiobook. Well, it turns out if you do not use it once a year, you get "removed from the system". Okay. The thing is, you cannot be added back to the system in any way without going to the library and speaking to the (cranky) librarians.
I was informed by the "helpful" woman librarian at the Fair Oaks branch that my card was inactive. She said I should apply for a new one, then took mine and threw it away for me. Okay again.
Fast forward two years. Keeping in mind what the helpful librarian told me, I went in to get a new card.
Librarian:Oh no, wait, you are trying to get a NEW card! You can't have a new card. You HAVE a card.
Me: No I don't, you guys told me it was no good and took it away from me.
Librarian: Sorry, but that could not have happened. (You must be lying, you shifty-eyed patron.) You will have to pay a lost card fee of $5 and get a replacement.
Me: That hardly seems fair, you guys took it from me.
Librarian: We don't do that.
Me: Clearly you do, but it is only $5 and I will consider it a charitable donation (although you are not making me feel charitable).
Librarian then gives me new card after taking my $.
End result: I have a new card. However, I cannot use my new card. The PIN for the old card (which is just lost BTW not confiscated which could never happen) does not match the new card.
Tech support's phone number at the library rings for > 100 times without being answered.
So now I have to face the Librarian again.
