After a week or so of keeping an eye on things I think it's safe to say my dog is pretty much back to being 100% again. It's a huge relief. I see lots of cuddles and stinky frito feet in my future.

The other day I saw what is probably the lamest television show I've ever seen. My Mother the Car. I will be the first to tell you that I don't always have high brow taste though I do very much enjoy some high brow stuff. This though was just too rough. Shallow plots, shallow characters, flat jokes, it really doesn't have anything going for it. Both Bewitched and I Dream of Jeannie are from the same general era, have similar styles of humor, and are much, much better written. I'd recommend them instead.

On a similar note, I don't know what it is, but there's something magical about Barney Miller to me. It's like Night Court. Both are honestly flawed in their own ways but both have a style and rythym to them that make them immensely enjoyable.
