Whew - Part II: Puppy Love and Other Things

On February 9th I welcomed a new member to the family. Fiona, my Bichon Frise puppy. She's been such a bundle of joy (cliche, but true) and so fun to be around. Generally I am not a "dog person". I am most definitely and "cat person" but after meeting my aunt's Bichon (named Hollywood) I knew that I had to have one. So after a month of searching for breeders I found a cute couple in Kentucky who breeds Bichons and other breeds. A friend and I took a day trip, and after many trials and tribulations (this place was in the sticks y'all, so much so that the house didn't have a street address!) and brought home Fiona.

For those of you who are unfamiliar, Bichon's are white "powder puff" dogs who are highly intelligent. Fiona looks like a stuffed animal. She's nearly 5 months old and very small for her breed, which is great for me. The smaller the better.

As sweet as she is, she's a handful and as close to a kid as I ever want to get.

If I were to write a list called "Things I Love" [excluding friends & family because that's obvious] (which I may very well do), Tina Fey/30 Rock would be in the Top 5. Her comedy is brilliant. So I was more than a little disappointed at her Hillary Clinton plug on SNL a few weeks back. In the first place, who cares who she's supporting and secondly, don't use prime-time television for free endorsements, especially for Hillary Clinton. Just a week or so ago however, Tracy Jordan made a SNL appearance as an answer to Tina Fey. I love it! Obama '08!!!!!
