Hi, LuLu and Lily! You are two cute babes all right! We are nerd dogs --really smart and computer friendly, and neither one of us has ever had a date, probably because we never get out in the sun. Want to get a load of our threads (HAHAHA) on Valentines Day? You could easily do better, but you could also do worse.


WEll,it IS possible.

It would be dangerous to go out with a woman who was recently exorcised.

Would it be less dangerous to go out with one who hadn't been?

Senator Paco is back? I know! He will have a rolicking affair with Digby the demon, forsaking breeder females for the jaws of hell!

Dateline Port Lincoln Park International Airport:

Are the reporters who work for LuLu's blog the only animals who fly commercial these days? Well, no, I guess not.

A herd of buffalo, fleeing the bad weather in, er, Buffalo, got off a Mesa flight, stampeded through the terminal and demolished The Grazing Area salad bar, before getting back on their plane and heading west.

"Their conduct was execrable," remarked an airport official. "Then again, the poor wild oxen were flying coach."

But I digress or something.

Seen deplaning in the private jet area at PLPIA was former Lincoln Park resident, Blue-eyed Sydney, the lovely Aussie shepherd who is set to leash-lock with Senator Paco any old day now, we hope -- the 'we' being rat-terrier reporterette Brenda Starr, et moi - the old and weary standby.

"Oh, hi," said Syd, when we leaped on top of her and wrestled her to the floor. (Well, we ARE dogs.) "My, what an exuberant welcome."

"Where's Paco?" we asked. "You two didn't break up, did you? Some hot intern hasn't come between you? Paco hasn't flipped over a new page?"

"Don't try to turn me into a mere tertium quid, you tacky terriers!" she growled, and since we didn't know what she was talking about, we got off her back.

"OK, so despite the fact you look sexy, rich and sensational, what are you doing here by yourself just two days before Cupid the Cuddle Pug begins biting lovers with his arrow-sharp teeth?" we demanded.

She shook herself off while we shook off her bodyguards.

"I've come to help my cousin, Young Blue Eyes, jump start his singing career," she explained. "He's doing his first full concert -- 'Young Blue Eyes Howls Michael Buble' at Chester's Gulag on Valentine's Day. Is that enough information for you?"

"And Senator Paco WILL be joining you?"

"If POSSIBLE," she snapped. "You know there are politicians who actually DO work."

"Really? Wow. You could have fooled us and half of America regarding that one."

We engaged in a brief snap-and-snarl, which happily did not result in bloodshed, when Syd's extremely handsome cousin, Young Blue Eyes, the near celeb, arrived.

"Bow wow, wow, wow...can we have your autograph? Pant? Huh? Pant?" we asked, showing our ususal savoir faire, not to mention our private parts, as we rolled over to expose our sensitive side.

"Most certainly," arfed YBE in his caressive baritone.

Brenda and I peed on the floor.

He gave Syd an appreciative sniff and a nose lick. Where's Paco, cuz?"

Story continued...

Syd blinked. "Why, he's still in Washington. I told you -- he would try to make it."

YBE sat down and scratched his autograph on our backsides -- right near the start of our tails, where the fleas most commonly bite. "Yeah, well, I sort of told Chester Samoyed that Paco was a definite," he said. "He'll be very disappointed."

Syd's hackles rose. "For Dog's sake, Blue, I can't help that!" She glanced over at us, rolling on our backs while kicking our legs in the air. "Let's get out of here," she arfed. "I have a limousine waiting outside."

"The limo driver got sick!" we barked. "It's just us and our ten-year-old Honda Civic, but we'll let you ride without seatbelts, and we'll keep the windows down in case you have to hurl."

Syd's bodyguards chased us through the terminal, but we finally wore them out circling the baggage carousel for the fourteenth time, and made our escape.

As we padded outside, we saw Syd's limousine pulling away from the curb. Right behind it was a beat-up Old Yella cab with a scruffy-looking dog at the wheel.

"That dog looks like an American breed," observed Brenda.

"You're right," I said, "and when's the last time you saw an American breed driving a cab in any major city?"

"They've got trouble," Brenda barked.

Let me think. Spencer had a sex-change operation, or pretended to, and married a chipmunk, and Lily was held as a love slave. Incest seems pretty dull.
