Potty mouth

Tonight I booked a PhillyCarShare vehicle and picked up a trunkful of supplies for my pets.  As I struggled to carry an unwieldy 40-pound sack along the sidewalk and up the entry to my apartment building, I staggered past a woman who was out walking her Urban Retriever (more commonly known in other parts of the world as a Pit Bull).

“Hi, Buddy!” I said to the dog as he ambled past me.

His owner eyed the cargo in my arms, then cheerfully exclaimed to me as she continued down the block, “Oooh, my dog eats that exact same kind of food!”

Surprising, considering that I was hauling a massive bag of kitty litter at the time.

(Truly, there’s no accounting for taste.)

    “Urban Retriever”… that’s a good one.

    I just saw you answered my post to your Elmo blog. Yes, I love the color scheme on your new bike.

    I was thinking about Philly… Do you think we should set up a Facebook page to exchange messages on instead of using Fatty’s secret section? I’m thinking that if all of our friends see us gabbing we may generate more interest and hence more money. The only down side I see is that not everyone would have a Facebook page, but I see that lots do. Just a thought…
