Yesterday we got Men In Black 2. Dyson has seen it a half dozen times since.
He IS Agent D*…
*The main characters in the Men In Black movies, played by Tommy Lee Jones and Will Smith, are Agent K and Agent J (respectively). So, of course, Dyson wanted to be Agent D. Ya know… D for Dyson….
I’m embarrassed to admit that I voluntarily wore that tie at one time. I have no idea why I kept it all of these years, but now it’s Dyson’s. (It was the closest thing I had to black…) Kel bought the sunglasses for him after taking Keira to her violin lessons. The rest of his outfit was from some kind of formal occasion more than a year ago. Obviously he’s grown some since…
Barley, despite her size, is a lap dog at heart. Even if the lap in question is pint-sized…
Keira keeps telling us that she wants a pet of her own. I’ve repeatedly told her that until she can consistently take care of our existing pets, she can’t get another. She’s finally showing some affection for Barley and the cats. If she can feed the dog and cats daily, we might consider a hamster or some such.
Actually, I think we need to take the responsibility of feeding Barley away from Kel’s dad. His mind is slipping a bit too far. This past year, there’s been many occasions where Barley only eats half her food, and yet she hasn’t lost any weight. The vet keeps telling us to put her on a diet. I’ve told Kel’s dad exactly how much to feed her and yet she doesn’t lose weight. We think we’ve found the reason. One day, Kel said that her dad mentioned three times that he had to go feed Barley. She gently reminded him that he had already done so. Perhaps this is a somewhat regular occurrence. Poor Barley - I take her back out to the garage and try to get her to finish her food, and she’s thinking, "C’mon, Doug, this is my third bowl! I can’t eat one more kibble!"
