What about Me?!

Cashmere has not so subtly informed me that this blog is full of pictures of Kamir, Bandit, and Riko, but her presence has not been recorded. I guess she's more technologically-savvy than I thought. My response that she usually runs from the camera was not a sufficient explanation for the lack of her pictures. So, here goes... Here she is under the bed. She's gained 20 pounds in the five years since she left the shelter, yet somehow still fits under the bed. Posing for a change. Like all dogs, Cash loves a good nap.

Woman Crashes when Teaching Dog to Drive

From the Associated Press: Mon Aug 28, 8:13 AM ET A woman in Hohhot, the capital of north China's Inner Mongolia region, crashed her car while giving her dog a driving lesson, the official Xinhua News Agency said Monday. No injuries were reported although both vehicles were slightly damaged, it said. The woman, identified only be her surname, Li, said her dog "was fond of crouching on the steering wheel and often watched her drive," according to Xinhua. "She thought she would let the dog 'have a try' while she operated the accelerator and brake," the report said. "They did not make it far before crashing into an oncoming car." Xinhua did not say what kind of dog or vehicles were involved but Li paid for repairs. Kamir enjoyed the car too, but I knew when to stop. He had no thumbs; how would he grip the steering wheel?
