hi all. it's sadie and marley again. dave's worried that people will think he's a big dork by letting us take over his blog, but we told him not to worry.

actually, it's sadie typing, and marley is just goofing off.

(marley) "shut up, sadie! i'd type, but you never let me."

anyway, dave's got us here at work again. it's been a fun day - we got to meet the other sadie over in the bookstore. she's a pretty golden retriever, and was just rescued by the bookstore manager. she's 6, like me. and then we went over to tommy's office and saw little ernie jenkins and little joe bender. tommy names his dogs after his favorite people (i know - weird, huh?). actually, joe bender is a cranky blue heeler mix, but for some reason he's sweet on marley. thank goodness it's not me - he's a hairy, ill-tempered old fart and i don't like him. but marley brings out the best in him - lord knows why.

(marley) "i heard that!"

after we went over to the other building, we saw erin's dog izzie, who just had a cancerous growth removed from her stomach. she didn't seem to mind, though - her tail was wagging and she was happy. and then glenn brought up his dog pumpkin, who turned out to be a real alpha bitch. but maybe i'm just saying that because i'm the same with other females.

(marley) "damn right."

and up until now, we've been kicking it out on the balcony, watching steamboat hustle and bustle beneath us. tomorrow dave and jenn are taking us snowshoeing up on the pass, and then on saturday our grandparents are getting here. hopefully they have some christmas presents for us. and then on january 1st, i turn 6 years old. actually, we don't really know if that's my real birthday, but it's dave and jenn's best guess.

all right, folks. dave wants me to wish our family and friends a happy christmas and merry new year.

(marley) "that's merry christmas and happy new year, sadie!"

"shut it, marley!"
