Please make sure that you purchase a puppy with the NEW! enhanced greed core such as the Arthurpup Mach I. Older models such as the Rockytron Fusion Extreme do not have the enhanced greed core and are should be upgraded as soon as possible. Attempts to use the Sonicare with the Rockytron Fusion Extreme may result in baleful looks, hiding behind toilets, and frustrated shakes of the head followed by slinking away.<br /><br />To ensure that the greed core is on and functioning during your Sonicaring, use a toothpaste specially designed for this purpose, such as Beef (smells like beef!) and new Seafood (smells like rotting clams!).<br /><br /><span style="font-size:78%;">To avoid a potentially fatal complication, do not use the Sonicare with Beef or Seafood with human food, water not from the bathtub faucet, while sentient, or if you are pregnant or may become pregnant. Tell your doctor if you experience thoughts of suicide after using Sonicare with Beef or Seafood. </span>ronniehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01718226708623801662noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5601435333041820055.post-77797499494910626332007-12-28T13:43:00.000-08:002008-08-01T18:46:15.909-07:00concealing all the right places<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgB_Vsri9EN9byOLhIvIhva1hfWS5D376flDQLpn7jJUrsu6SD8WhPMb0B9ITMk5wmJI96a-zmlyLTl752Jnkh-VMgMbIoXPqQfZ5aRc3ywiXagF1e9IYbk_1-1rTOXYQAUW_jBHOvt-y8/s1600-h/keiraChanel.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgB_Vsri9EN9byOLhIvIhva1hfWS5D376flDQLpn7jJUrsu6SD8WhPMb0B9ITMk5wmJI96a-zmlyLTl752Jnkh-VMgMbIoXPqQfZ5aRc3ywiXagF1e9IYbk_1-1rTOXYQAUW_jBHOvt-y8/s400/keiraChanel.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5149143272157603698" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjxkIxvsmbVPPCS5T_ON66q1Sx3jGp5zd-p99DNENEXQsrBK64ZnyWCnOqam9vfFBP_wnIwTCCSrnNIiNcXM8TI045bBJwKXTxoYbMLDmYUMnpdtwcfC9ZwvTI8RVxt1bYRpVviOaI3_00/s1600-h/bowler.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjxkIxvsmbVPPCS5T_ON66q1Sx3jGp5zd-p99DNENEXQsrBK64ZnyWCnOqam9vfFBP_wnIwTCCSrnNIiNcXM8TI045bBJwKXTxoYbMLDmYUMnpdtwcfC9ZwvTI8RVxt1bYRpVviOaI3_00/s400/bowler.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5149143276452571010" border="0" /></a>I'm pretty sure this means that the top of a puppy head is NSFWronniehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01718226708623801662noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5601435333041820055.post-13950705804553359212007-12-09T13:50:00.000-08:002007-12-28T13:58:21.528-08:00altruismMuch thanks to our first benefactor, Banan A.

And thus, in that vein, Rocky and Arthur blog is pleased to announce the formation of a non-antiprofit organization that accepts shrunken garments produced from tragic laundromat malfunctions and re-appropriates them to pups in need. For just pennies a day, you too can clothe a pup that is in dire sartorial need! When you contribute, you will receive a personalized photo of your pup wearing your garment, a dedicated blog posting, and the knowledge that you helped make a puppy's life a little more fashionable.

This is not the place you want to come to if you wish to test your impartiality. This blog is pro-discrimination, a celebration of prejudice, a paean to bias and inequality, a devotion to contrast with no regard for compare. Even-handed neutrality has no home here, and anyone who has come seeking affirmation of their own nondiscriminatory nature is in the wrong place. <br /><br />This is a refuge on the vast internet for those that revel in their prejudice, who not only care if you are a Golden Retriever or a Golden Pilferer, but work to expand the divide between the two groups. <br /><br />Oh internet, where would the petty and narrow-minded be without you?ronniehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01718226708623801662noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5601435333041820055.post-52071652516221125532007-10-17T17:13:00.002-07:002007-10-17T19:32:59.632-07:00with apologies to Philo T.

Ever since I signed them up to the Time Reliant Active Indoctrination Network they've been really well behaved around me. When they have TRAINed they are so easygoing and agreeable that it's almost as if they are know in advance what I expect from them. For some reason TRAINing seems to elevate the ambient <a href="http://rockyandarthur.blogspot.com/2007/09/its-advanced-so-you-know-its-true.html">SCF</a> levels by overwhelming levels, but aside from that, there seem to be no documented ill effects. I am such a TRAINing enthusiast that I try to evangelize it at every turn. When you TRAIN with your dogs it's like they become completely different dogs. Crazy, I know!<br /><br />Also, I never do this:<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://bp0.blogger.com/_L4LQ3AAAtFA/RxKLCSn72GI/AAAAAAAABsE/Mbl4TN6HZ-8/s1600-h/guy3.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://bp0.blogger.com/_L4LQ3AAAtFA/RxKLCSn72GI/AAAAAAAABsE/Mbl4TN6HZ-8/s400/guy3.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5121308597749012578" border="0" /></a>ronniehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01718226708623801662noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5601435333041820055.post-91920077906509323192007-10-14T00:44:00.001-07:002007-10-14T00:54:44.884-07:00The ineffable lightness of walking.This post will not have pictures.<br /><br />Or humor.<br /><br />When I sleep, when I wake from sleep, when I am going to sleep, I am walked upon by my pups. They move across the bed, hopping up to curl up with us, hopping down to get away from our too warm blankets.<br /><br />Rocky steps up on the stool. He looks at the bed. He contemplates. He waits for us to ask him up, sometimes. He begins to walk. He stalks along the bed. He places his paw upon my leg gently. Lightly. He shifts his weight onto my leg slowly. Like a glacier reaming out the Earth Mother.<br /><br />Ok. So there's humor.<br /><br />He knows my leg is there. Does he stop?<br /><br />He does not.<br /><br />Slowly, gently, he crushes me in four square inches. <br /><br />Then he exhales, and sitflops into a curl at my feet.<br /><br />We sleep.<br /><br />In the morning, he is gone. Sleeping on the floor. When I next move, Arthur notices. Arthur has all the subtlety of motion of a landslide. He jumps onto the bed. Often landing on me. He walks up me, I think because I'm more stable than the mattress. Each step is like a tiny, angry fist beating me into wakefulness. He is relentless, his every motion throwing out exuberance and joy. <br /><br />When I'm on a trip, when I'm away, when Ronnie is left alone with the pups?<br /><br />They let her sleep in.scotthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08781341711761000980noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5601435333041820055.post-79479768085454907142007-10-12T15:28:00.000-07:002007-10-12T16:48:05.920-07:00we both are so excited'cause we're reunited.

It has been a harrowing last few days as we searched fruitlessly for your return. We looked for you in the cheese drawer. We peered behind squeaky toys and underneath tennis balls. We followed up on email leads pointing us to smoked turkey and chopped liver, but they too were maddeningly unproductive. We stayed awake nights dreaming about running in lush fields of wildflowers alongside you once more.<br /><br />Reader, if you are ever faced with a similar situation, do not delay. We tarried too long dillying with sliced meats and dallying with beloved toys. Feel-good holistic hogwash. The only surefire way to recover a runaway brain of the canid variety is with pure old fashioned implications of the threatening variety. My particular weapon of choice was a viewing of <a href="http://imdb.com/title/tt0084509/">Plague Dogs</a> but many purists choose to stick with the tried and true <a href="http://imdb.com/title/tt0050798/">Old Yeller</a>. Either way, coupled with a stern finger wag and disappointed head shake, it is a guaranteed formula* to recouping a rampaging noodle.<br /><span style="font-size:85%;"><br />*Formula not guaranteed. May cause dizzyness, nausea, a feeling of general malaise, disillusionment, and rapid onset bawling. Until you know how <span style="font-style: italic;">Plague Dogs</span> will affect you, you should not drive or operate heavy machinery. Call a doctor if you experience an erection lasting more than 4 hours.</span>ronniehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01718226708623801662noreply@blogger.com0
