A work friend just came charging into my office babbling about the lobby of the building across the street being chock-full'o'puppies. So of course I had to investigate-- Discovery Channel films a lot of stuff at a studio across the street from NPR and it turned out they were having auditions for, yes, the PUPPY BOWL today! Puppies! A whole roomful of PUPPIES! I'm not even a dog person but ooooo their little earses and their little noses and their soft little paws and their little tailses going slappity slappity slappity on the floor! And there were dachshunds! And beagles! And funny foxfaced ones! And little fuzzy mutts! So yeah. I've just been petting an entire roomful of puppies. What a nice way to spend my lunch break!
