What a difference a year makes, especially for a dog! I started blogging just about a year ago, and so far my blog has had 25,000 hits– I figure that for a dog, that’s about 7 years and a million hits. Most humans that come here want to learn more about (a) fracking, (b) symbolic interactionism, or (c) Panic! At the Disco. Sometimes, they just want to see a cute picture of me:
Other times, they want to see what the latest song is that’s been on my mind. Even though they are often sad songs (see below), there’s always that cute picture of me to cheer you right back up. That’s the power of dog.
Here’s good ole Wayon Jennings…

Once again, all you have to do is take one look at me, and you’ll perk back up. Trust me! I hope you all have a happy holiday weekend no matter how far you are from home.
Comps are over! Back outside we go!
P.S. In case you were wondering where I’ve been for the past month, I had to relinquish all laptop and bandwidth rights to my master, who demanded that he “must write his comps” and that he was “not joking.” We only went on two 4-wheeler rides during all of March. The weather was so beautiful, though, that I finally convinced him that he could just let me sit out on the porch by myself if he was going to sit inside and stare at the computer all day. So, I guess I found a new freedom in spite being snubbed for “comps.”
