Last night all I wanted to do was curl up on the couch with the ear doctor and watch a movie. We were going to go swing dancing (like we usually do on Tuesdays) but I was so tired from moving most of my boxes of stuff (no thanks to Mr. T) that I just couldn't even consider driving all the way down to Denver. Anyway, that's not important.What is important is this: We rented two movies from Blockbuster and brought them home. I really wanted to get some Spumoni ice cream (which, BTW they don't stock at Safeway...very frustrating).
We popped the first movie into my DVD player....home movie. It was a documentary about 5 families and their home videos. Sounded like it had the potential to be hilarious.
Anyway, the DVD player started to spin up and then crapped out. I was so pissed that my year old player had decided to be lame and not work. Why is it that DVD players are such pieces of junk? I've had 3 in the past 5 years. It's not like I really work them all that hard and they just stop working. I freakin hate that I am forced to go back and buy yet ANOTHER one. Ugh.
Anyway, that's not important either.
What is important is that because we couldn't watch our rented movies we stumbled upon your show in the National Geographic channel.
You, my friend, are amazingly entertaining to watch! I really couldn't get enough of your advice and the role you play in rehabilitating dogs.
Your show is both educational and insightful and if you applied your advice to people and children a lot more people in this world would be a whole lot better off. This is what I mean:
You say that there are three main things a dog needs in life: exercise, discipline and affection. Are these not the same things people need? In fact, don't you think that our society in general is having a wicked backlash because people are not raised with these three basic necessities? Why is it that people are so interested in teaching their dogs this lessons and providing these integral tenets to the dogs in their lives but fail to do so in their children? See what I'm getting at?
Anyway, I just wanted to say thanks for providing such a rad show.
I've already got the next episode waiting for me on my TIVO.
Sincerely,
Katie

I miss TiVo, it was my best, and sometimes only, friend.
dear katie,
I too am a katie (now known as katie, the original) and found you over at Chriky (hence I had to change my name because we could confuse jes and since I know her in person and she can get confused easily i decided to make it easier on her). You are welcome to add a subtext to your name too, but "the original" is now taken because I got it first (yes I am calling dibs like one does with a sibling when wanting the front seat of the car). I just wanted to say hello and to let you know that I now "heart" the PBTeen bird branch and dream of owning it one day even though I am not a teen, nor do I have scarves to hang so cutely from its branches.
Katie, the original
