O-O Puppy Breath

So Ares Ino Bennett has finally come home, and I must say he is a cutie (during the day, at night he likes to do what all fresh from the farm puppies do and howl the whole night). Like the true dog whisperer, I brought out the mischief in him. He has been behaving a lot more hyper the last couple of days since I came over. However, also like the true dog whisperer, I have gotten him to stop crying so much (1. because I'm getting more energy out of him and 2. because the god of war is already growing up). I think the funniest thing that I've noticed so far was him crying today. I had assumed during the last couple of nights that he was super upset, tearing at the cage, etc. while he cried. But today I put him in there when I was trying to take a nap (I wonder why), and he was crying while he PLAYED!!! with his stuffed animal and rope. I mean this puppy is rolling all over the cage throwing his stuffed animal around and chewing on it like he's actually enjoying himself, and he's screaming bloody murder at the same time. Now I don't think I will feel so sorry for him next time, although I guess I should be glad that the terrible sound is muffled by the plush Rhino in his mouth.

Appropriate pictures will follow of my handsome dude once Ashley or Deborah finds my camera USB cord.

Fact of the Day

As every earthling may know if they've heard me talking recently, I am currently teaching To Kill A Mockingbird to my 8th grade students. There's a delicious scene in the book where a doggy has rabies, not the traditional violent rabies, but the dumb rabies (yes, there are two types according to my research). So this sparked a candid conversation with my students about the painful vaccinations that need to be administered multiple times if a humanoid happens to get bitten by a rabid animal. Apparently the shots are given through the (GET THIS) BELLY BUTTON. A couple of my students actually had to get this when they were little kids in Mexico (once again proving that America may be going downhill but at least we still legally mandate vaccination of pets [not sure if chimps applicable])

so while the biting bitter bitching cold of Chicago may be a bit too much at times, at least none of us got a shot through our belly button today. oh yeah and today was warm enough that i had one of deborah's beers on my porch. things are starting to look up!!


p.s. i'll give a chocolate heart to anyone who correctly guesses what famous author may have allegedly died of rabies

Oh Wow

I guess it did work, so there are no more excuses to generate. I will start my first real entry off with a joke:

This guy walks into a library, goes up to the counter and tells the librarian, "I want a bacon cheeseburger with pickles, fries, and an RC Cola."

The librarian replies, "Sir, this is a library."

The man apologizes, and then whispers, "I want a bacon cheeseburger with pickles, fries, and an RC Cola."

(This joke would be more effective if spoken instead of read so don't underestimate it's ability to make humans laugh.)

I'm Back?

After much attempt to change the hideously outdated blog name "Beccasexy" to the gloriously modern "The Becca Machine" apparently the fruits of my labor have been performed in vain...

And so I ask: Am I back?
Should I continue posting or start a new blog account or do nothing at all....


Answers will come eventually maybe
