RTT - He's not Corpulent; he's big boned

Ahhhh...it's Tuesday.
I'm pretty blank right now. I barely have thoughts let alone random ones. If you want to play along, grab the button and head straight to Keely's to link up.

This is Tripper under our bed. Now, you wouldn't normally think too much about a smallish sized dog crawling under the bed but this is an overweight (big boned) Corgie. Let's take a moment to do some quick calculations.

The clearance here is 7 inches from floor to the bottom of the frame. The dog is 34 inches from nose to stubby little tail. He stands 14 inches tall but his legs only make up 5 inches of the number, making his body height 9 inches. He is a rather stout 9.5 inches wide across his tummy. If I've done my math right (and that is not a given. I'm a librarian we're not known for our math skills) that is 4522 cubic inches of furry contrariness.

I'm no mathematician (see above librarian disclaimer) but it doesn't seem like those sort of numbers would lead to him being able to crawling under the bed but there he is. Of course, JR has to rescue him because once Tripper gets under the bed it is almost impossible for him to get back out from under the bed. It's a matter of lifting the bed and pulling the dog or a combination there of. I tend to laugh while inside I weep for him when watching the going under and getting out maneuvers. It's funny in a tragic way.




Got this email from a friend on Saturday:

clicked on your FEEDJIT Live and saw that someone was searching from google.com for how to hide the smell of marijuana and brought up your site. Interesting. Whatever it takes to get more hits on the site, man.


Tallahassee, Florida arrived from google.com on "It's a Dog's Life: Rosemary, Lavender and Thyme" by searching for hide marijuana smell rosemary lavender.

JR's response was: haven't they ever heard of incense?
Me: Honey, it's been a long time since the 70s.
