Being a Doggy Mama - You turn your back for 30 seconds and...

Puppy Girl is asleep on the couch, Puppy Dog is napping in front of the TV. These are the stolen moments when I can get stuff done.
I am in Fluffy Bear's office doing some filing. The TV is on - Countdown, the political commentary show on MSNBC hosted by Keith Olbermann.
I am peering at paperwork to figure out what the hell it is, and moving it, piece by piece, from a scrappy pile on a chair to the various hanging files we have.
I start to notice something is off.
I look. No dogs nearby.
I listen. No dogs making noises.
I tune my hearing in to the TV, and realize that I haven't heard Mr Olbermann's dulcet tones in a while.
And this has been going on too long for it to be just an ad break.
The sound cuts abruptly, mid-sentence, to a new person speaking, about something completely unrelated.
My brain kicks in, I run to the living room.
Sure enough, the remote is in Puppy Girl's mouth, and she is happily chewing her way through the cable channels!
And now I believe that couple that said their dog ordered Microsoft points online in the middle of the night.

As that story was on Fox News, I presume everything turned out to be President Obama's fault?
No doubt. President Obama is going to mandate that all dogs be tossed in the river in bags filled with rocks... haven't you heard?
