    Was he sleeping while standing up? My dogs do that while lying down, comes in handy during the cold nights.

    He dreams of Jeannie.

    I love a sleepy doggie! And also, Phillip K. Dick. Thanks for the sneaky reference! Hee!

    Have you mowed the lawn yet, Jon? ;-)

    he mowed the front lawn!

  • Jme

    OMG! He mowed the lawn?! You have a power of persuasion, dooce! And Chuck is adorable enough to eat. Can I flick his nose? Huh huh huh?

    You know, if you ever need extra money, you could start “Rent a family.” You, Dooce, Leta and Chuck could go to people’s houses, perhaps when the boss comes over for dinner and pretend to be part of the happy family. Of course, if the person who is renting the family is a man, the boss might wonder why his employee has both a husband AND a wife. Sounds like a bisexual polygamist to me.

    I don’t know about dogs, but I know my cats dream, probably of mice, or at least of running away from my four-year-old. It’s the funniest when they start moving their legs and meowing in their sleep.

    I had no idea that Chuck used to be a congressman!

    Lawn mowed.

    Chuck left Congress after one term. His lawyers are silent. There may have been an intern involved, although if she blogged about it, it’s been pulled down.

    When I hold you in my arms,
    And look back on my charmed–
    life
    My charmed life
    I hope, I hope if nothing more
    That one day youíll call your–
    Life
    A charmed life

    Well I never really worried that much
    About making lots of money and such
    And I always seemed to land on my feet.
    Though thereís been some difficult times
    The good times where never far behind
    I snatched all of my victories from the jaws of defeat

    When I hold you in my arms,
    And look back on my charmed–
    life
    My charmed life
    I hope, I hope if nothing more
    That one day youíll call your–
    Life
    A charmed life

    Well the course of true love never ran smooth
    They broke my heart, and I broke theirs too
    And breaking up was so very hard to do
    But I knew Iíd find the one
    And sure enough she came along
    And not long after that along came you

    Well sometimes this life is like being afloat
    On a raging sea in a little row boat
    Just trying not to be washed overboard
    But if you take your chances and you ride your luck
    And you never, never, never, never, never give up
    Well those waves will see you safely to a friendly shore

    When I hold you in my arms,
    I know that this is a charmed–
    life
    A charmed life

    Hey, could you post a full photograph of that FIREPLACE? That’s so cool!

  • Mary

    I think the real question is…
    Do Former Congressmen Dream of ELECTRIC Sheep?

    Wonderful picture.… but why do you call him the Former Congressman again?

    I’m a reader, but this is my first comment.I love you’re mission style house and I love chuck. I smile and say aaawww when I see him sleeping or looking at the camera with his big eyes. I’m going through a dog withdraw since we had to give my dog away when we moved *tear*

  • http://www.blurbomat.com dj blurb

    Actually, since Chuck was not manufactured by the Tyrell Corporation, he wouldn’t technically dream of electric sheep. Hence the distinction in the title.

    DG, thanks. A hilarious cut, really. Great tender song, but done like a wind-up music box with a self-conscious emotional distance that is completely ironic. Is all his stuff like that?

  • http://nowhere.com moose

    Sorry, I was referring to Charmed Life, not Born with a Broken Heart. But that also comes across as “trying” to be warm as you said. Interesting…

    Oh sweet lord does it get any more adorable than this? I doubt it.

    This is what our black lab does when he is bored. He puts his head on your lap and will stay there until you go outside and throw the ball for him. Cute — but such a pain in the ass!
