That's one amazing pig.

Last night Brian and I walked Maggie downtown and got some ice cream at Ben & Jerry's. It was a perfect summer night. While sitting there, we pondered how Maggie spends her time locked up in the kitchen each day. The ordinary dog may just sleep the hours away. Instead, we like to think she practices yodeling. She also works on standing on two legs for extended periods of time. By our estimate, she can now make it two minutes. She knows this because she uses the timer on the stove. When she's feeling more artistic, she writes haiku poetry using a series of "barks," "bow-wows," and "ruffs." She's pretty amazing.
