Dial D for Doggie

I don't know about you, but I was getting weepy seeing the dreaded Harry Saga™ every time I looked at this page. So I decided to move the whole mess over here for awhile. That is where I'll post any further developments. The page features the most pathetic photo ever:

bad dog! bad!

Tonight the little bastard barrelled across the yard, leaped into the air, nipped my earlobe and put a pawprint on my shoulder. Considering he is a shrimpy one foot high and I am 5'8", he is quite the show jumper.

2 · Scott said:

I would love to save harry! You could punch some holes in the box and ship him here to Arizona. I'm positive he would love my cats :) Just don't put him on the same tramp steamer Amazon used to ship that book. (btw, have you finished it? is it good?)

3 · Graham said:

Well, if you get really stuck, I suppose we could take him on. How is he with chooks?

4 · danny said:

If I didn't live on the other side of the world, and hadn't just had to put up with three screaming puppies, their whining mother and two other miscellaneous dogs, I would snap the brute up in a second.

5 · shauny said:

well thanks scott and danny, but i dunno if he could sit still long enough to make it over there. i suppose we could knock him out?

graham - he'd chase the chooks til they keeled over and died. hehe. one of his favourite hobbies is barrelling into a flock of birds and watching them scatter :)

6 · pea said:

oh shauny! i'd take him in an instant if i could... i'm sure little indigo would love a partner in crime to torment the little mites... i do hope you find a good home soon!

7 · Paul said:

The perfect solution:
Dress Harry up in a little suit and deny that hes a dog. Better yet, put a little lightning bolt scar on his forehead and claim he's our saviour.

8 · Paul said:

well, okay... reading back it don't seem like the perfect solution.... my bad. Perhaps I should be more helpful.... but I'm gormless these days. Perhaps a long drawn out tribunal case that will last till you want to move anyway?

9 · Monkey said:

nonono, I like that idea, Paul! It's just craaazy enough to work!

10 · Marybeth said:

Bwahah!

11 · SJ said:

Holy fuck, you're 5'9"? Now I will picture you in go-go boots WITHOUT heels. Oops, drinking and commenting.

12 · Jim said:

*ahem* you do realise you're a foot taller than my girlfriend (whose weight you were envying on my blog)?

13 · Graham said:

Yeah, you're taller than my brother. But he's about twelve stone. So.

14 · mark said:

I'd take him (if I was allowed), but if El Existing Dog doesn't kill him, the meow-bot will :o(

(they don't like outsiders)

15 · Marybeth said:

Har! Shauny's only three inches shorter than I am! And a redhead to boot! I'm only a redhead in certain lights. That lucky lucky Shauny. Bet she weighs a heck of a lot less than I do. Feel good about that, why don't ya?

16 · Ben said:

Do you think he could be trained to pull a heavy cart full of books? How do you feel about de-barking?

17 · Marybeth said:

You know, The Joy of Jellyfruit has been one of my very favorites ever since you wrote it and I laughed over it so hard I thought I was having a stroke. I still quote it routinely, for I was raised to believe that if something is on special, it must be bought. No questions asked. You captured a piece of the human psyche with that one. You are the grand master.

19 · whitney said:

poor miss shauny! (and harry, too)
If i weren't on the other side of the world, I'd take Harry in a minute! I will keep my fingers crossed for you.

20 · Amy said:

Hmm I'm 5'10 or so.. :)

21 · Mattay said:

Yes, you are a freak for finding Billy Bob attractive. Bruce Samazan however... ;)

22 · Graham said:

Bruce Samazan. Isn't he a real estate agent or something now? (he says, denying that he ever reads Who mag at work)

23 · Paul said:

Isn't Bruce Samazan the Duchess of Kent?

24 · Ginger said:

John Corbett I can understand. BBT however....

25 · Sj said:

Re: Billy Bob- Didja see "The Man Who Wasn't There?"
AAAOOO-GAA! Hummina humina humina! WOOT! He was SO channelling Bogie circa "In A Lonely Place." I give it "Two Asses Up!" SEXXXY!

Wh00ps.

Don't know what happened to Bruce - a real estate agent?? What an extreme waste of talent! He should be hosting the logies by now! Or in the very least on some crappy Telstra adds. Or playing tonsil hockey with Angelina Jolie.

28 · Simon said:

Did Rhiannon get through to the tenancy advice people in the end? What did they say? I'm on those hooks which I'm not sure of the name of, but are probably either tender hooks, or tenter hooks.

29 · Marybeth said:

Tenter hooks.

30 · Simon said:

Thanks, Marybeth :-)

31 · Marybeth said:

Much obliged :)

32 · Jess said:

I hear Bruce Samazan is doing really well in real estate. If he enjoys it, good for him.

33 · eli said:

wasnt he on e street

34 · Julia said:

Yup, Bruce is a real estate agent. We're looking to buy a house from him :)

35 · eli said:

woo. i'd buy a house from him any day.
but hed b married with kids now
hmmmmmmmm.
oh well

36 · Julia said:

I was chatting to our next door neighbour about Bruce the other day, he's also a real estate agent. He reckons Bruce does very well with the ladies he's selling houses to.
I don't think Bruce is married, but don't quote me on that. Maybe you need to buy a house in Helensburgh!!!

37 · hanita said:

Shauny!

Quick! This may be two year old, but:

what happened to Harry!?

Did you sue the bastard-real estate agents?

38 · kat said:
