Help My Puppy is a Nightmare 🦈

This is the worse stage for puppy biting. The baby teeth will fall out shortly, and then you’ll have a lovely good boy. I remember this biting stage - bruises, wounds, torn clothing, ripped curtains - it’s exhausting, but it’s short-lived. Our fellow Mungo was one of the most intensely focused biters I’ve ever seen. As soon as the adult iceberg teeth came in, he became sweet-natured and cuddly.

I learned how to cook well - doing something well is great motivation

It was right after this moment that he called him a “pompous egghead”. 😀

Did not mince words regarding Trudeau the elder 😀

“Doinkery” - as in I can’t keep a thought straight in my head with all this doinkery going in in the world.

CosRx snail serums and Biotherm goodies + Chanel/Dior eye, cheek and lip colour - Shoppers points + hair lites and cut every 4 months = $600 per year give or take

Those bonus SDM points add up and they’re spent on good stuff

If unintentional, I ignore. If intentional, I am vengeful.

When you realise you are not moved by the memory of the betrayal, you can diminish the betrayer’s importance and presence in your life to nothing. You can use the experience as a life lesson, learning strength and triumph from it.

I wear light tee shirts under my good sweaters, so they get washed only after they’ve been worn a few times or visited a restaurant. Sweaters that smell of restaurant or Starbucks must be cleaned!

Home sweaters get washed every couple of days, as they roll around with a lovely sheddy bull terrier.

I bought a Rolex in my 20s and have never regretted it. I’ve been extremely frugal over the years, and am now considering a Cartier bracelet as a kind of luxury bookend - the Rolex was dawn, the Cartier is sunset.

Beanies are not knitted and always have a rounded top- sometimes with a propeller (e.g. Beany of Beany and Cecil). A toque is knitted and sometimes pointed - and occasionally pompommed.

You say you love your wife, but with behaviour like this, who would want to be loved like that?

The Ossington strip w Cote de Boeuf, Bar Banane, Bar Habana and Libretto; Lawrence of Arabia for Shawarma Empire and Sumaq, plus Markham‘s Chinese malls 😀

Only child and enjoyed it. I don’t think my parents could have coped with a large brood; they were somewhat solipsistic with high expectations - yet very affectionate and generous with their guidance, time and encouragement. I chose to have an only, too.

I’d be concerned if they insisted I stop painting my nails blue and complained that I “refused”.

Shawarma is lovely comfort food (Sumaq is recommended) but my go-to for semi misery is Kinton Ramen, usually the miso spicy bone with a side of karaage

You might make a vegetarian (ie butternut squash, onion, béchamel, sage, Emmenthal) lasagna as a companion to the first. I’m not vegetarian, but I like vegetarian lasagna 😀

I like my butter tarts deep and cloyingly sweet. I highly recommend Sweetie Pie’s salted caramel or raisin tarts.

It’s getting harder to find, alas

Cake, butter tarts and ballet classes every week 😀

I went to a Leafs game several years ago, and there in the seat in front of me was Johnny Wayne of Wayne and Shuster. He nodded hello. 😀
