I swear this isn’t one of those “complaining about my dog” blogs. You know, THOSE blogs.
Wednesday, May 2, 2012 at 9:42AM Today is my birthday.
I took the day off. I dropped Alfred and Xander off, came home, made a cup of forbidden coffee, and watched an episode of Torchwood in peace. Bliss.
Then I made phone calls to my insurance agent, the cleanup crew, and the furnace guy, because yesterday the dog freaked out during a thunderstorm, trapped herself in the bathroom, and during her panicked flailing managed to knock one of the sink taps on, whereupon the sink overflowed and continued to do so for three hours until someone came home. That someone being Alfred, who displayed great restraint and put the dog in the backyard, instead of clobbering her with something heavy and shoving her into traffic, which is what I would have done if I’d come home to ruined hardwood floors, a drenched basement, and water pouring out the side of my house.
So, you know, just like any other birthday.
(I may also be making a call to the proverbial Farm.)

You should probably consider monetizing your blog in some way, to offset the costs of this dog. (particularly if he's going to be a regular contributor :)
Ummm.... happy birthday?!
Goddamn, man. I don't even know what to say. Being all, "HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!11!1!1! :D" seems like it would be kind of... IDK. It doesn't seem like it would really fit what with the dog ruining your bathroom (in a BIG way) and all. Damn dog. Nevertheless, I hope you can manage to have a good birfday anyway :)
We had a dog that was afraid of thunderstorms. He chewed a hole in the wall just to get inside once. So I feel your pain.
Try to have a Happy Birthday weekend instead.
There's a joke in there somewhere right?
Yeesh, so sorry.
Happy birthday! And you've got a pool just in time for summer!
Oh no!!! That sucks for sure!!
May I add...Happy Birthday!!!! Hope the rest of your week is fabulous!!
Hugs
