post script:
places to go, people, things to do*,
you know how it is. . .

(*this is where my mother would have added
in a rather circumspect manner,
"she's going to see a man about a dog";
but it's actually not as interesting as that)

So you're getting a puppy!! Wooooooohooooooo!!!

I hadn't picked up that you were keeping open house today. Sometimes I have a terrible overwhelming nostalgic yearning for bacon and egg and tomato and bread fried in REAL LARD. I don't know if you can get this in your part of the world, you certainly can't here.
...comes out from under rock...
Good day, I! err... J! ummm...
:)
Am I too late (it's Sunday here!) for a long black? Ta, ducks!
a puppy????
I'm so sorry. I really should read posts more carefully. My opening sentence up there should have read '...keeping open kennel.' Welcome Bonio on its way, but I'm afraid I draw the line at those revolting pig's ear chews.

I, don't hesitate to disown me if you wish. I have plenty of experience of being replaced by a puppy.
If we had a puppy all those leftovers wouldn't go to waste.
Just sayin'.....
A beagle!
They're kinda cute--kinda noisy, but cute.
OH.....English Sheepdog!!
Now there's a puppy for ya!!
k...
I'm kinda partial to Cocker Spaniels, actually.
It's the floppy ears and those big eyes....and the furry feets. :-)
no no no
no!
(altho I was in the company of a Tibetan Terrier for some of the time)(who might be getting ready to have puppies)
didn't anyone else's parents used to fend off questions with the phrase "gone to see a man about a dog"? no? only mine? that figures
\-:
your parents probably answered your questions, didn't they. . .
honest answers I mean
:-/
(oh, and Christopher, from memory: servus servum servi servo servi servorum servis servis)
maybe it is the translation?
I have heard the expression, "going to see a man about a horse" but I am fairly certain it has nothing to do with what you were doing...
according to wiki, the English phrase "going to see man about a dog" is equivalent to the American "going to see a man about a horse" and both are colloquialisms, usually used as a smiling apology for a departure or absence - generally as a bland euphemism to conceal the true purpose. . .
might be a good title for a novel!
Might be good to start using when I begin my secret spy life!
Ohhhhhh....what a cute puppy!!
Get one of those!!!! :-)
He's got furry feets AND I betcha he likes leftovers!! :-)
And just for the record, my father couldn't be bothered to answer questions--not even to lie about a dog or a horse.
My dad definitely used the phrase but I was in on the joke too so it must have been explained to me at some point.
