My favorite thing to do right now is ask people if they want to see pictures of my new dog and then show them pictures of Cleo. Why?

1) their reactions of confusion and then awe fuels me.

2) I think I'm funny.

Cleo had her first outing at PetSmart to get a harness, & we -almost- left with this skull bed, but I showed some restraint & decided to hold off until it maybe goes on sale (or I could just make one >.>)
