So I'm wondering why my laser mouse is getting slowly flakier and stuttery this morning. It's been exhibiting precisely the same behavious as an old ball mouse when it gets dirty. As I'm pondering whether or not to go out and buy a new mouse I casually look at the bottom of the thing and the hole that leads to the laser is full of dog fur. It would appear that Cooper has won this round.
Speaking of little Croopy, the other day he did something he's never done before; something I never would have expected him to ever do. He slept next to me on the couch with his head on my lap as I watched TV and ate potato chips. It was amazing. This is a dog that thinks anything anyone is carrying in their hand is potentially food for him, so he leaps and jumps all over everyone trying to get at it.
It's almost the same amazement I experienced the day I went outside to water my garden and not once did Cooper place himself between the plant and myself in order to drink all the water coming out of the hose until he literally exploded in a shower of pee.
He's still a mental case but I suspect he might possibly be maturing.

After a year and a half of playing World of Warcraft, I finally got tired of it. After liquidating all my equipment and belongings, I deleted my level 60 shaman, level 60 priest, level 60 hunter, level 44 mage, and level 30 druid. I think I wound up with about 900 gold in cash and prizes, which I gave to a couple of fellow guildies I'd known online for some time. I thought I'd go nuts or something and want to start playing it again but I haven't had any urge to go back to it. The 45-minute Stratholme run was the final straw for me. Blizzard is just too evil.
Updated my games and DVD pages at long last. Might take some garden pictures today, methinks...
