When a local team (ahem, the SF 49ers) isn&#8217;t in the running, I usually don&#8217;t bother. This year wasn&#8217;t any different, but I did TiVo the event for the commercials. I tuned in at the beginning and again (thankfully) at the end. This game. This game was worth however hundreds, thousands of $$$ people paid for tickets.<\/p>\n<p>I tend to be pretty supportive of local folk, that includes San Mateo&#8217;s own Serra Padre-bred Tom Brady (though he did go to a rival high school). But since he&#8217;s proved to be a (somewhat) <a href=\"http:\/\/kissmesuzy.blogspot.com\/2007\/08\/thats-right-its-john-moynahan-you.html\">dead-beat babby daddy<\/a> (a la Billy Crudup, dumping pregnant gf Mary Louise Parker for Claire Danes), I was throwing MY support for the NY Giants.<\/p>\n<p>Those last 2-3 minutes, I was commenting loudly at the tv and am pretty sure I jumped up in excitement when NY scored the winning touchdown. All with a margarita in tact. That takes talent, my friend. <\/p>\n<p>Of course, my daughter thought I was just plain silly.<\/p>\n<p>*****<\/p>\n<p>Speaking of the little dear&#8230;her new &#8220;thing&#8221; is talking on the telephone. Thankfully, we haven&#8217;t had the SFPD stop by to respond to a baby-dialed 911 call. She will take the handset hold it to her ear\/rest it on her shoulder and say &#8220;ayo?&#8221; or something that sounds like hello.<\/p>\n<p><object width=\"425\" height=\"355\"><param name=\"movie\" value=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/v\/-vVCHKb3lEs&#038;rel=1\"><\/param><param name=\"wmode\" value=\"transparent\"><\/param><embed src=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/v\/-vVCHKb3lEs&#038;rel=1\" type=\"application\/x-shockwave-flash\" wmode=\"transparent\" width=\"425\" height=\"355\"><\/embed><\/object><\/p>\n<p>Yes, her shirt is on backwards and for the record, daddy dressed her that morning \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n<p>*****<\/p>\n<p>Lucie&#8217;s been going out with a new playgroup the past couple weeks. I thought we would be able to manage, but she needed these outings as much as we did. I was a little nervous when the field manager said that they transport the dogs to and from in crates. Um, yah. Lucie doesn&#8217;t DO crates. It just doesn&#8217;t. She won&#8217;t. So, imagine my surprise when I called last week to see how she was doing &#8211; she&#8217;s adapting to the crate just fine. I was also a bit nervous, because according to her previous dog walker, she said that she didn&#8217;t integrate well due to her alpha behavior. &#8220;Oh, Lucie&#8217;s integrating wonderfully. She was doing well by the 2nd or 3rd outing.&#8221; Huh. So, hopefully this will work out for all of us for a long time. (I think the crating in the car and small group size &#8211; no more than 6 pooches &#8211; made a difference.)
