President Weiner

June 15, 2011 by Julie 90 Comments

Sadie was a busy girl this evening! Ryan and I took her to Pookie’s, a dog store that carries her favorite dog food to pick up a big bag to last her through the month.

While there, I had a good time looking at all of the doggie dress up items and surprised Ryan by dressing Sadie up in a pair of motorcycle shades.

Sadie is very tolerant of clothes and costumes, but she was not a fan of the glasses. I guess she’ll never be Lil’ Jon. Yeaaaaah.

Since Sadie handled my harassment with grace and dignity, we rewarded her good behavior with a trip to the dog park.

Usually Sadie finds a random tennis ball within five seconds of our arrival at the park, but today the balls were a bit more elusive. (Well, not the real male dog balls. Those were out for the kill and Sadie was looking ripe.)

And speaking of balls and genitalia, have you guys heard about this Weiner guy? Two local news anchors were talking about what would happen if he ran for president. Even if he was a good guy and wasn’t drowning in a pile of controversy for “sexting,” would anyone really vote for a guy named Weiner? I mean, c’mon. America is much to immature for that kind of nonsense. In Ryan’s words, “Would you want a President Titties?” Exactly.

Oh! The dog park… right!

We spent our time at the dog park walking around the trails and eavesdropping on an argument between two dog owners that was quite heated.

We’ve actually seen quite a few throw downs at the dog park. It’s not all rainbows and butterflies when you put a bunch of dogs and their owners in one open area.

Dinner

Eventually we made it home for dinner and split up the food preparation duties. I handled the veggies while Ryan stayed true to his meat man persona and fired up the grill.

While Ryan grilled some BBQ pork chops, I made us roasted Brussels sprouts with sweet potato fries (the last of the bag… sad day).

I told Ryan he should brace himself for a lot more grillin’ in his future because these pork chops were fantastic. Now that it’s summertime, our grill will definitely be put to good use.

Time to grab a Fudgsicle from the freezer!

    Please STOP with the stupid dog photos. Your captions are NOT funny, and your photos are over-edited and PINK and weird. Seriously. I can’t believe YOU give blog advice, when your blog is so technologically challenged.

      Well aren’t you a peach! I’m sorry you don’t enjoy my blog but please remember that if it upsets you so much, you do not have to read it. I’m not sure I see the point in a mean comment like this. There is a difference between constructive criticism and just being rude.

    Ah, I just got a coupon for some freebie sweet potato fries, I wish I could have them right this second!

    In other news, if we elect a president weiner, we will be the laughingstock of the world!! Other country’s versions of South Park and Family Guy will never stop teasing. Hence, my vote will be staying far from him.

      oh, i’ll give you the details! one guy was pissed b/c the other guys dog was “harrassing” his… and my “harrassing,” the dog was simply following the other dog. nothing crazy. anyway the overly protective guy ended up putting the other guy’s dog on his leash, holding it away from his dog. obviously this upset the other owner and a long string of f-bombs went down. it was intense!

    Since Weiner is resigning from the House of Representatives I highly doubt he would announce a bid for the presidency. Thousands of people in NY elected him to be a Congressman so it seems as though people can get past the name….

      i heard two local news anchors discussing this yesterday (before he announced his resignation) and apologize for the misunderstanding. i’ve updated the post to reflect that he isn’t ACTUALLY trying to run for president.

    M is correct and I hightly doubt the closed captioning said that he was running for president.PBF just need to pay less attention to working out, clothes and food and more to the world around you.
