"What?"
Rest of comment:

Are you now changing this to a parenting blog? Because it will be the best one I follow, even if it IS about a dog. I mean, even better than mine. That's saying a lot. Because mine is AWESOME. I mean when I actually post something. About parenting. And not drinking. So are you going to switch to a drinking blog soon???
Cushion? What cushion?

debb posted on September 14, 2009 11:39 AMYour pillow had too much stuffing. I fixed it for you. Can I have a hug now?
Rosie posted on September 14, 2009 11:43 AMYour honor, if the stuffing doesn't fit, you must acquit.
gregory huffstutter posted on September 14, 2009 1:14 PM*ENTRY* Dad? You write mystery novels, right? Someone murdered my pillow! Help me find justice! And no, that is not cotton hanging from my incisor.
Or more simply:
"I was framed!
You can use this in your next chew to... er, book.
Cullin posted on September 14, 2009 2:35 PMHelen only knows (nose) why Marshall does not hear Kylie. A rescue, Helen knows what it is like... to be mis, again mis-understood. The time it takes fttry or love lasts forever and always. Kylie I am sure feels your love, let her feel your love but most of all your Alpha-ness! Be the boss she needs. Then love and reward. Tuff and ruff stuff, it is hard on the human heart...but the love and rewards are huge. ~ Helen and DANNY BOY
