One of the frustrating things about looking back at the Borden case is how lousy the standard of investigation was back then. You can find next to nothing about splatter, for example. Nothing that would help an armchair weasel 100 years later figure out what the hell happened, anyhow. Which is why there are still active persons studying the case (and Jack the Ripper and so on). Why not? There’s so much room for speculation.

I might go and donate as well.

Heh heh.

I love ‘em all and while I favor Zana and Zuko, I’m going to do the hard thing and trust the breeder’s opinion (75% them, 25% me/us) because I want to make sure that the right temperament dog gets a home with us. I shudder at the thought of turning a dog who lives for herding into a family dog or vice-versa.

Kind of like “if mama ain’t happy, ain’t nobody happy”, a happy dog has a huge influence on a family. I think dogs are one of God’s gifts to us (to balance out mosquitoes, I think) and it ought to be equitable.

But yeah, the suspenders are killing me, too. Soon. Two more weeks, I think.

All this quickness to make decisionses.

Now, 19 hits, now we’re getting out of my comfort zone.

Oh yeah, I forgot why I came here… I posted the new puppy pics today – forget all the BS in the post and scroll down to the good stuff.

There, fixed that for you Stoaty!

So it wasn’t forty whacks, but it was a damn nasty mess. Slowly count to eighteen and think what smacking somebody with a hatchet that many would be like. Brrrr.

They’ve managed to find a bed and dresser that look a whole lot like the originals (nobody knows what happened to the original furniture).

Whose behind is that towards the camera? A dead person? The muslim maid? Someone looking under the bed for body bits? An apparition climbing back under after making croutons of the last weasel who thought it would be nifty to sample the Borden air?
