Who's Your Daddy???

So Dina took the boys out for a treat to the local bakery the other day. After buying some cookies for them, she sat down in front of the bakery where one of the workers and another shopowner were taking a break. They also both happened to be Asian.

The day was warm, balmy, and sort of humid, and Dina mused out loud "This weather is weird!" The shopowner responded saying "It's like East Coast weather," which led to a short conversation about New Jersey, where the shopowner was born and raised (Summit) and where, of course, Dina said Joe was born and raised.

The shopowner then responded "So your husband is full Caucasian?" Puzzled, Dina said no, and then asked why the shopowner though that. "Well, your kids..." Dina, knowing Landon's hair is about 20 shades lighter than the average Asian mop of hair, said "Oh I know, his hair is so light." But the shopowner said "No! Both of them, not just the hair, even their features...you sure there's not any Caucasian in there?!" Dina responded "Not that we know of!" but I think she meant to say 'Not that Joe knows of!!' Better watch that dirty girl Dina, Joe. I'm just sayin'.

Mama Still Thinks She's Hilarious

So Joe went back to New Jersey for his 15 year reunions at Princeton. He took Lando, while Dina, Wyatt, and I kicked it back home. I guess they had a terrific time (I mean, wouldn't you? Joe dropped off Lando with the g'parents and then partied like he was an undergrad, except this time with a little more weight around the belly). Anyway, Joe brought back a slew of gifts, mostly for the kids, and mostly in the colors orange and black. But he also brought back this necklace that was intended for Dina. But Dina thinks she's funny, so guess who has a new collar?

Loves of our Life

Dina (to Wyatt): "You know what I like? You!"

Wyatt (to Dina): "You know what I like? Ice cream!"

Gotta love the honesty of a 3 year old.

Elite Hunter

This is one of those times where I really do think I am just the coolest f'en dog in the entire world. Those stinking geese didn't have a chance. Look closely for me here, might be hard to see me since I'm fast as lightening...Stupid geese.

Luxury Living

You need to know that it's not easy being me. It's quite busy, waking up, eating, pooping, going out for a walk, coming back, eating, napping, then avoiding the boys for the next several hours until it's time for them to go to bed. That's why it's hard to blog and why I've been so absent of late. So you know, you can understand that every once in awhile, a dog needs a break.

Which is where the Ritz Carlton at Half Moon Bay comes in...We stayed there a bit ago for Dina's friend Mina's wedding. I've always liked Mina, because she's a good baker and has a deep propensity towards favoring dogs over humans. In fact, one of the reasons she picked the Ritz Carlton was because it's dog-friendly. Her two pugs even walked down the aisle. For me, though, it meant a nice relaxing weekend away at a luxury hotel. Good life, eh?I played on the beach (I look svelte, don't I?)

We revisited the bench where Joe proposed to Dina, who said "If I knew then what I know now, Joe..." (you can fill in that blank).

And just to prove how welcome I was, here's the wedding cake topper. I love people who have sick obsessions with their dogs. They make my tail wag.

Again.

The bitch is pregnant. Again. And when I say bitch, I'm not referring to me, a female dog. Dina.

HOW COULD SHE DO THIS TO ME?

In Memoriam...

In honor of one of Dina's favorite authors, I'm making like JD Salinger and taking a real-world break. With any luck, I'll return with the wit of one of Dina's other favorite authors, David Sedaris...but hopefully, without the need to rock or lick doorknobs.
