Apologies and Thanks

I am so sorry, loyal readers, for neglecting you.
I have been meaning to say thank you for my blog reader's choice award, which I was very honored to receive - sorry I couldn't be there in person. There were a great many blogs out there, including many featuring excellent dogs and the people who love and feed them, and I was surprised and delighted to be voted as one of the favorites.

I'd like to thank my people, especially the soft one - I mean mama - who helped me with the typing (she has long fingers). Also papa, who feeds me every morning, and gets my day started right. I'd also like to thank my dog parents (I miss you guys, wherever you are!) and my previous people, who started my interest in the world wide web (I miss you too, Steve and Kari!). Bubbles, my best friend, and all my other friends - Lucky Lab-Hound, Pippin Poodle and Trigger Spaniel, Bud Lab, Buster Lab, Dusty Rose Akita, Pixie Bear Dog, Angel, Bumper and Gingko Pugs, Pedro Pug and Chai Pug - thank you for your support. And to my fans and their four legged friends, thank you.

I'd also like to reassure you that after much searching and a little worrying we have found a place to stay for the next couple of weeks. Old McDonald has a farm out near the mall and he is going to set us up with a suite, with indoor-outdoor living. Mama had said we were going to go to prison with Pixie, but they were full up, so we're off to the farm instead. mama said we can go to prison next time, and help the ladies who made some bad mistakes. She said they are trying to turn their lives around by becoming dog groomers, and that sounds like a good thing to me (even though I hate being groomed).

Well I'm going to be away from the computer for a while (I know, I have been already, but you signed up for my blog on google reader, right?) but I'll be back! Maybe not till April, but I'll try to get Old McDonald to let me borrow his laptop so I can let you know what the farm is like.
Later people!

Managing my people through RSS

OK, here it is. I finally worked out a way to minimize the time my cushion spends on the computer. They call it RSS and it organizes all the new stuff people have written on her favorite websites into one handy little page (I set her up with google reader) so she doesn't waste so much time going to the blogs by the little-poodle person and the corgi person and the book-work person. The reader shows her all the new stuff they've written all at once and then she can turn off that computer and get back on the couch. Brilliant! Of course it would be better if she just didn't worry about what those other people had to say. Am I not interesting enough for her?

My cushion also has one of the iPug thingies - a little silver one. She's terribly cheap so she won't pay for content. She borrows CDs from the library and puts them on her iPug, and she copies her own boring old CDs onto it too. But truth is, she mostly listen to pugcasts. They get delivered automatically whenever she plugs the thing in, and she gets hours of free talky stuff to listen to. She likes to walk and listen for some reason - she seems to think with her legs. But I'm trying to convince her to sit down on the couch and listen. She's going to sign me up for some pugcasts of my own soon. Maybe something about Eastern philosophy... the militant pug network... or maybe food...mmm...food...
