OT: For SHAME!

Or "For SMAME!" as the Liz-ards used to say in the comments section of the WaPo's Celebritology blog.

So, one of my lovely AV neighbors turned me on to this tumblr page, Dog Shaming. It's kind of a spin off on the social media public shaming parents have recently inflicted on their children. Except instead of being a form of punishment, this is a form of pure hilarity. There are a number of posts that mention panty stealing or some form of bodily waste, which is completely unsurprising. One of my friends found this great one of a Rikku doppelganger! I have no idea who or where this dog is, but s/he is a dead ringer for my girl! Long lost twins. If you can't read it, it says "I roughly stab my nose into the testicles of all men I meet." Rikku definitely doesn't do that.

So, of course I had to submit one of Rikku. I had a hard time figuring out what to do. Finally I settled on this one:

If you can't read it, it says "I've jumped out the 2nd story bedroom window...three times! Not a scratch! (I didn't run away. I just wanted to be outside!)" It was the easiest to execute.

Some others that didn't make the cut:

I'll pretty much do anything for a tennis ball.
I love my neighbor more than I love my mom. I stop listening to her when he's around.
I eat cats.
I pulled a dead rat out of the bushes, and keep going back to see if there are more.
I herd other dogs, but get mad when they try to herd me.
I put puppies in their place.
I curl up in my mom's spot when she gets out of bed to take a shower, especially on cold mornings.
I can break out of a vari-kennel in under 10 seconds.
I chipped some teeth and lost another while chewing my way out of a wire crate. I got out, though!
I like to roll in things and put my "war paint" on so that the squirrels don't know I'm coming.
When my mom first put the gentle leader on me, I got mad and ate her Oakleys, her prescription glasses and her bluetooth headset. I have expensive taste.
When I'm excited to see people, I'll grab the nearest soft thing to bring to them. If there are no toys, I'll grab socks, shoes, bras or panties.

Anyway, if you get a chance, head over and check it out. Some of it is really funny.

A Major Award!!!!!

Frah-jee-lay, that must be Italian!

Not this

THIS!

Ok, so it's disappointingly not a leg lamp, but I did win an award! Actually, my team, headed by me, won an award. The Arc Aspicio Team won the Human Resources Leadership Award, Sister Eymard Gallagher Award for Corporate Social Responsibility for our Community Involvement initiatives. I can't tell you how much it means. I didn't think I'd ever be wrapped up in that kind of thing, but to be recognized for my efforts and those of my team by people who wouldn't know me if they bumped into me on the street. I had to give an acceptance speech and everything. It was so hard for me to not thank the Academy, God and all the little people who helped me get to this point! Ok, maybe it wasn't so hard, but I did give maaad propps to my team, Lynn Ann and the National Disaster Search Dog Foundation. The big trophy we got is now sitting in the office, for all to enjoy. We also got a miniature version, which Lynn Ann said I could keep as a token of all my hard work and dedication to our Community Involvement Efforts. I'm still riding the high from Tuesday's award ceremony. I went with no expectations except free dinner and drinks, and walked away with an award! I knew I had been nominated, but I didn't know we had a shot!

 In other news, I went to the Glee Concert Last Thursday. It was AWESOME! I was a little far from the main stage, but my cares about that melted away when Mark Salling (aka Noah Puckerman) appeared on the second stage right over my left shoulder! I unexpectedly turned into a screaming fangirl. So unbelievable. I also swear that I was NOT the one who pulled Darren Criss into the crowd at the end, but I'm pretty sure the chick next to me would have if she had been closer to the stage.

Sue's going to be PISSED when she sees the New Directions used her confetti canons!

Anyway, now I'm headed for Virginia Beach. My brother-in-law retires from the Marine Corps after 21 years. Looking forward to a fun weekend with family.
