So.  Nana reads Malcolm Gladwell (who she loves) and she has books on Branding.  Not BLANDING, not blacksmithing, BRANDING.

Branding is apparently a BIG THING and Nana knows her brands.   Hold that thought...


Nana knows about Black Swans.  I know about them too because they are birds but Nana's Black Swans are different: she says they are unexpected events that no one sees coming until you get whacked upside the head with them.    Hold that thought...


Nana bought a bit of better butter.  If Nana bought a bit of better butter, how much butter would Nana have to buy to make whipped short bread cookies?


More.  The answer is more.

 

 

 

 

This is the brand.  I like this brand. 

 

This is also the Black Swan.  I do not like Black Swans.

 

Malcolm Gladwell would say that I am an outlier and that I made the wrong decision in the blink of an eye but hey! It was what the Dog Saw! and after a while there was a tipping point.

 

I ate a pound of Nana's butter.

 

Ergo:

 

No cookies.

Black Swans have been gastronomically unpleasant.

Mr. Gladwell can keep his stats to himself.

 

Nana has to buy a bit more of better butter.

And shampoo.  I have had 3 baths in the last 24 hours. 

 

Bitter butter.  Nana should get a bit more of better butter and leave it higher.

 

Nana bought a bit of bitter butter.  Bailey ate the bitter butter and thought that better butter would not have been so bitter.  If Bailey does not eat the better butter he will be a better Bailey and not need a big bath, which would be better...for all concerned.

 





 

 

 

 

THIS late friend is Cue.

Cue became late a few weeks ago.  Her person loved Cue and knew that it was time to let Cue go play with my Toddie.  She knows that she will see Cue...later.

We love you Cue. 

So I have given up on the 2 babies.  They were Nana's anyway, so I am not responsible.  AND I learned a very important lesson: not only do babies leave, but if you RENT them, you can feed them whatever you want and can get away with it!  So cool.

So, I rented one:

How's about THIS???

I fed him my green bean diet and he only spit out 3.  He dug around and ate the good stuff and eventually, Nana came and cleaned it up.  Thanks! Nana!

So.  I just want to talk to you about the importance of fathers, even foster fathers and Big Brothers.  Me and the little guy are buds and I am going to teach him to pee in the garden, swim, walk like a heeler, avoid the girls, pay attention, stay off the street, look out for that boxer, watch good shows that have ducks and sheep in them, and not bark.  It is important to show him how to be a Big Dog without being a BIG and cranky dog that scares the mailman.  He needs to learn manners, like which fork to use and when.  I am going to watch over him so he will grow up and be a responsible Good Citizen. 

And when he is 21, he can sign over the movie rights to cuteness.  LOL.  Unca Bobbbbbbb....

I have lost them.

I had 2 babies.  I had them right here and now I can't find them.  I think Nana put them away and I have looked everywhere for them. 

Why would she do that to me???

MY GREAT! Great Grandpa uses dawn in his bubble bath.  I know this because the Source of All Information told me so.

Nana also said that I should use Pantene.  I use the clear one and that is why I am so fluffy and smell so good.

So Grandpa,
As you can see, I have not got enough room to lie down and there are no jets in the tub.  NOR do I see any pool side drinks or doggy treats.

How can you leave me like this!!!!!!!?

I promise to be careful with the razor but I have to use it because my underarm hair is just too, too much.
love, Bailey

When you're UP, you're up.

And when you're DOWN, you're down...

You're NEITHER UP NOR DOWN!!!!!!!!!!!!!
