Today is my dog's birthday. I bought her a 6 1/2' x 4 1/2' shag rug. She watched me suspisciouly as I struggled to insert it under the furniture in our 9' x 12' room where it's 28 C at the moment. As soon as I was done, she stepped on it, scratched it madly, made a few spins and fell right asleep instead of going into the little den she's appropriated for herself.

Apparently, I TOTALLY ROCK buying dog gifts.
