Streetwalking lawyers

My other dogs


Mr. Nag decided to paint the fireplace mantle and set this vicious-looking pack of King Charles Spaniels loose on the dining room table

Enough!

I finally have to say something about this weather! I look out the window and wonder what exactly Mr. Nag did to piss off Mother Nature. The geographical attributes of Niagara-on-the-Lake create a micro-climate and we generally have warmer weather, less snow and shorter winters than much of Southern Ontario. This year, however, we have not been spared.
Mr. Nag had to dig out a toilet area for Max this morning. He's a huge dog but the snow comes up to his haunches, making it impossible for him to lift his leg to do what he has to do. We used to have a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel named Violet who loved to chase snow flakes. This winter would have exhausted her and/or driven her psychotic.

Life will be much easier now

Nag Jr. has asked me to follow the Vice Canivore Diet. It looks easy enough, taste be damned.

Dear Vice,
Canned food is being canned. Supermarkets are phasing it out in favour of food in cheaper-to-recycle tetrapacks. So to mark the end of two centuries of canning, I decided to eat nothing but canned food for seven days. To make it interesting, I procured the finest tinned treats from around the world, like canned cheeseburgers from Germany, canned fish from Sweden, canned intestines from Spain and canned bread from the USA. And with this intercontinental smorgasbord spread before me, I grabbed my can opener and dug in...

Solemates

Like sands through the hourglass, so are the days of our shoes...
I've worn saddle shoes, go-go boots, earth shoes (anyone else remember them?), airsick-making platforms and ankle twisting heels. Now I wear whatever won't give me blisters.



The Century in Shoes is like a footwear time machine.
