shocking news - swimmers shave chests

Well I was planning to take myself off to the land of my ancestors for some competition (see post below) but some things came to my attention by way of my feast-tastic pal, Stanislaw. Here he is:


Almost as handsome as I am, huh? Well, he shared some news with me. In his comment in the last post, he said -and I quote - "you won't even need to shave your chest!" WHAT?!?! Swimmers have to shave their chests?!?!

**GASP!**

Why does this bother me so much? Let me share. Those who have been around a while know how proud I am of my exceptional masculinity. Wally T. even called me the "manliest dog on the internets" which I still repeat to myself every night before I go to sleep. Anyway, one of my most masculine traits that I am particularly proud of is my CHEST HAIR! Here a picture where you can see it in all its incredible glory:


Please ignore the mullet - that's why I never let Massah near me with a scissors any more, EVER. Anyway, did you see my chest hair?!?! There are so many manly chest hairs that I cannot even count them! There's probably 5 or maybe 7 of them?! Impressive, huh?! I have given it a lot of thought, but there is just no way I can get rid of those. So with great regret I must say: I respectfully withdraw my offer of assistance to the US Olympic Swim Team. I want to apologize to Michael Phelps especially, because I know he was really counting on the boost I would have provided. But rest assured I'll be cheering him on from my couch in the corn country.


Go USA! You can do it! Even without me there!

China bound?

I'm wondering if the US Olympic Swim Team needs another member...?


I'm ready!

you won't believe it!

Were you watching TV last night?!?!


I was sitting around, staring at the moving picture box, when what did I see?!


Thousand of chinese men, just like me!!!


I was so proud and happy!


I think I should be over there, though - since I am a little chinese man too! How can I manage that, I wonder...?

remember me?

Oh my dog - it's been so long since I've blogged! Don't worry, I'm working on creating some drama so I can have something to talk about. And here's an archive picture of me so you don't forget what I look like:


Ack! That was mean! My girl is evil and nasty... showing a picture of me after I was shaved even naked-er than I normally am! Here's a HANDSOME picture of me in my summer shirt:


I'll be back soon, and hopefully I'll get caught up on everyone's blogs/news too!

sadie

One year ago today part of our heart was separated from us....






We miss her, but we know that one day we'll all be together again as a big happy family.



Plus one, because Petra's here now too. And I know Sadie probably fell off a cloud when she saw Motch with another BOSTON in the family.... We were both of the opinion that Bostons are TOO MUCH sometimes, but she'll end up loving Petra (as long as she doesn't bite her long curly ears)!

good times

Thank you all for your nice words of healing comfort - I am feeling back to my normal self! So good, in fact, that Massah decided to abandon me and Mean Sister Fig and run away to Chicago for a while.


Apparently that's how exciting the Cubs game was.... But WE had excitement of our OWN with Little Miss Pretty Petty Petra Stink Pot Pie!


I cannot tell you what happened. Because I would have to pee on you and then erase your memory. But let me tell you, that's how exciting it was.

poorly

Oh, my pancreas is UPSET! Angry!! MAAAD at me!!! I don't know why - I didn't do anything! This is how I feel:


If I smother Massah it makes me feel better.


Note from Massah:
It's not his pancreas this time - he now has colitis of the (IN the?) small intestine. Which I think is connected to the pancreatic duct, perhaps? Grrr. I don't know anything about it, so I'm off to google. My poor little naked Chinese man. He's so miserable. :-(
