DNA AND LAP DOG LAWS
Woof, kids!
- Yawn...Monday on the block...the usual very cool and not-so-cool ones hither and yon. Just another day in the neighborhood. ZZZZzzzzz.
- Scientific break-through type things aren't, typically, a priority for hounds like me. Nope. I figure that stuff should be left to the egg-heads of the world. I mean no disrespect, naturally. However, this latest thing, well, it just doesn't sound right to me. No way. Guess you heard they are now using some sort of sophisticated DNA screening process to determine the lineage of mutt pups. It's quite extraordinary. Yep, a little blood and there you have it...all the various and sundry types of breeds...all rolled into one lovable and cuddly canine. Is that quite necessary? I understand there are all sorts of benefits to knowing the sort of blood pumping through canines, but just seems wrong to start pinpointing the mix of mutts. Isn't that the point, not knowing, exactly? I mean for, so-called, pure bred hounds there is no mystery or allure, just fact and a tad boring. Some mysteries should not be solved. Well, guess it's okay, if they must. Can't stop 'em anyway.
- Speaking of dumb, some idiot politician TRIED to ruin all the fun for animals and their keepers, but thanks to the Ah-Nuld, those wacky California drivers are still free to drive with dogs, on their laps. Wag-O-The-Tail to ya, Gov.
- Already thinking about the weekend are ya? Well, Beverly Hills Chihuahua, opens Friday. Woo-Hoo, I think. Wait. Do we care? I'm just not certain. Looks kind of cute, I suppose. But, why always 90210? What about 33606 or 75205 or about one thousand other, equally hip zips. Well, gotta zip outta here.
Hey Diva -- Gaz the Science Guy here. Yes, tracing lineage via DNA is quite the rage among us science types. We human types can find out our roots as well, all the back several hundred thousand years. It's a fascinating process involving ... well, I'll tell you all about it over treats and drinks.

Gaz, it's quite early 'round the condo as I'm reading this and I haven't even had a cup 'p dog java...okay, water. Would love a sit-down with ya to toss around all the scientific factoids we can muster. Have your peeps call my peeps..hold it...you ARE my peeps...NOW what? See 'round the bunsen burner, 'kay?

Oh dear...there Gaz goes again with all of the science talk. Just don't get him going on bugs. He used to collect and study them, you know.

Yeah, he's a scientific genius...we know that, huh? Bugs, lizards, dinosaurs, string-theory...black holes...kool-aid...you NAME it...he knows about it. Authority.

OK -- But you just never know when you might need an Authority on Everything ... like maybe, an expert on FLDCMD? (Finding Lizards Dropped on the Carpet from the Mouth of Divas)? Who you gonna call?
