My Dogs Need (according to Google):

Hey everyone! I just got the call from the doggy hospital, and Puddleglum is awake and doing very well! I am so happy, and I'm sure I bugged the snot out of them asking for updates. He'll be going home today, so we may have a sleepless night but at least he'll be with us. I'm sure he'll feel fine enough to resume his duties blogging for all his friends pretty soon.

In the meantime, I am going to give you all the "[insert dog's name] needs" meme! It wasn't easy to do-- the curse of having unique names, I guess.

Puddleglum needs AA (Alcoholics Anonymous) --He does? Sure, I share a glass of wine, a snifer of port, a six-pack of beer, and a shot or two of Don Julio with him, but that's not excessive.

Puddleglum needs his happy thoughts --Oh, I think he's got them with him all the time.

All Puddleglum needs is some webby hands and feet --Webby hands and feet? That's it?

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
So, that's it for Puddleglum. Not a whole lot, is there? Let's try "Puddy".

Puddy needs lovin' --Well, he gets plenty of it at home!

Lovin' of the other kind, well... I think we all know that's out of the question now.

Puddy needs to turn 3 more or gain 74 more Werewolf points to reach the next level --Hmmm... I've got to cancel his World of Warcraft subscription.

Puddy needs a friend --What? Snoufer isn't enough?

Two-dog rule: that's inflexible. Sorry, little guy.

Puddy needs a pawdicure! --Well of course he does! What dog doesn't like a little pampering now and then?

Puddy needs some food --I bet he does, after having to fast for 12 hours yesterday.

Puddy needs to see a vet straight away --He's already there, so...

All Puddy needs to do is run another Puddystudy --The WWW must not be too sure on what the sum total of Puddy's needs are. In other news, the latest Puddystudy reveals that "popped collars" should be a Class C felony.

Puddy needs 5 to catch Liz --Five what? Don't leave me hanging! I want him to catch Liz just as much as you all do!

Puddy needs a family where rules are established, boundaries are enforced and Nylabones are abundant --Check, check, and semi-check (he prefers real bones first and flavored rawhides second)

Puddy needs to run --Oh, he does. Not only every day when I get home from work, but also several times a day in the house. The guy who we will have to hire to replace our carpet thanks you, Puddy.

Puddy needs some tricks and hints from you! --"Go potty" is tops on my list.

Puddy needs H2O ASAP --When it's hot outside, he certainly does!

Puddy needs to be removed from the list --What? And deprive him of a great deal on siding and windows, to say nothing of cable service?

Puddy needs to be "shown." --Oh, how I would love to have the time to do so. He is such a fine pug!

Puddy needs to stick to bare metal --Hmm... not sure why he would need that. I guess if he is SuperPug, living in a world with bare metal skyscrapers that would come in handy...

Puddy needs to deliver history lessons every so often --On behalf of Puddy then: NEVER GET INVOLVED IN A LAND WAR IN ASIA.

Puddy needs a cookie --More sugar? Right...

My Puddy needs to be petted --Am I the only one who is wierded out by this one?

Puddy needs your help --Yep. He's building an intergalactic death ray and he needs minions to die cheaply. Signup sheet is on the right.

Puddy needs a pinch! --Not quite the kind of "chew" I want him to engage in.

Puddy needs to be shaved --Wow. I would never do that, but what an interesting look that would be for him...

Puddy needs to be beaten to death with his own arms --This is just disturbing on too many levels to mention.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
And here are Snoufer's needs according to Google! "Snoufer" doesn't return any results, but "Snouffer" does, so I'll use that.

Snouf(f)er needs no introduction to most boomerang throwers --Ah yes, Snoufer is mobbed by his boomerang fans daily. They keep cutting locks of his fur off as keepsakes.

Snouf(f)er needs something to do downtown in Chicago this weekend --I recommend going to see "Wicked." That's where I proposed to my wife!

Snouf(f)er needs no citation of authority --He sure doesn't. We all respect his authorita here!
