For Dog Blog Friday: Mookie and Nigel don't understand why they can't get room service Milk Bones.About Me
- Name: George
George markets only for the forces of good for a living. He has a paid hobby that involves eating, drinking, and writing, things he’d do for free, which is almost what he’s doing it for. In a previous life he taught mostly illiterate and generally ungrateful college students how to write. He has been a body guard for Jodie Foster, a walk-on dancer with French avant garde troupe Maguy Marin, a film programmer, a judge at an Iron Chef style competition, a political activist, a textbook author, a bassist in a band, a two-time league winning fantasy baseball manager, a union local president, a pr flack helping run a red carpet at an Angelina Jolie event, a janitor, a chauffeur to folks from TC Boyle to Andrei Codrescu, a delivery man to Plato's Retreat, a reluctant writer of a non-snarky intro for Colin Powell, a radio DJ, a corn detassler, an escort van driver, a rock journalist, a lab assistant for a company that made everything from mouthwash to super skin lubricant, and even, once, a poet. His biggest brush with fame was when Julie Christie fondled his tie, a tie George Lopez belittled to 1000 people minutes later. The best thing about him is his wife. His dogs aren't bad, either.

Are these beauties your babies???? How lucky you are!
Give them a big kiss from a greyhound admirer!
Ah, you are new to reading the blog. You would be bored with them by now if you'd been coming longer.
No way, Georgie. I never, EVER tire of anything dog or dog-related.
My own little doggie can do the same thing a million times, and to me, it's just as cute and fresh as it was the first time she did it.
To tell the truth, I'd much rather hear stories about, and look at pictures of, people and their dogs, than people and their kids.
All kids look alike to me *snicker,* lol.
