I'm back!
But not too auspiciously. Not much to say at this exact moment except that you should all make adoring noises at the sight of our new puppy, Pepper (aka Pepe). He's a French Brittany Pointer. I'm trying not to hold that breed name against him -- he's a good little feller -- although true to his nationality he did bring in a snail and eat it last night.
Well, that's all a ways off. But judging by his expression in the second pic, I think he was born with the ennui.

Posted by: FLOG™ at July 3, 2004 5:27 AMBe careful. Pepper could slip into an ennui coma at any second. Based on that picture though, he really seems to go ga-ga for bones. Give him enough bones and...
...wait...bones...likes? Huh! Huh! Huh! Huh! Bones!
Posted by: Blog at July 3, 2004 10:15 AMNo, dammit, he's French! It's ennui, not Zen.
Posted by: FLOG™ at July 6, 2004 3:50 AMBecause, despite its beauty, the seafood still leaves him feeling empty. If it was Zen the emptiness would be beautiful. And now this is getting really overthunk. I should have stuck with the fact that he eats snails.

Posted by: Tim at July 6, 2004 5:43 AMHere's Babelfish's translation of your comments:
"That's actually a tail d'homard with butter of white. Oh it, seafood! How beautiful, how vacuum!"
Hmmm...French dogs munching on fancy-schamncy seafood vacum biscuits? Hmmm...
Posted by: Blog at July 6, 2004 10:50 AMAh, good old Babelfish. "Tail d'homard with butter of white" is actually "lobster tail with clarified butter." "Oh it, seafood" is "Ah, seafood." And replace "vacuum" with "empty."
So he's munching a lobster tail and reflecting on its beautiful emptiness.
