My dog hasn't bitten anyone in her entrie life....she lets me handle that task. ;) The coffee sounds good for tonight...we have a storm coming in and us Southern California wimps aren't ready for it. Not so much that there might be a whole .5 inches of rain (we need every bit we can get) but the wind has come up and we always have a lot of fallout from that (lots of eucalyptus trees mean lots of broken branches in the night). I may have to tie weights to my dogs when I let them out to do their doggie thing....if they will go out. Don't be too hard on your parrot....he was only trying to protect your property. That mailman's hand might have been an invading rat for all he knew! Now I need to go find something...maybe hot chai tea. Love something spicey and warm on a chilly night. And I don't see any volunteers in the audience. ;)
