Earth Day

Today is one of Glenn's "high holy" days: Earth Day. It's when we celebrate the Earth and ponder how we are going to make it better. Lots of organizations get on board -- even those on the internet -- encouraging everyone to consider how we are impacting the environment and what kind of "foot print" (or paw print in my case) we're leaving. There is even a foot print calculator that we can use to see our effects.

I think I'll ask mom to start making all my meals for me instead. And I'll even tell her not to bother cooking it. I'll just eat it raw and that will save on natural gas.

raw is probably not a bad idea. next dog i have i'll try it. sadly radio's illness means that he has to stay on white fish + potato (comes in eukanuba prescribed food pallets) for the rest of his life. urgh, imagine this boring diet for a dog...
