Tie o’ the Day is a Penguin brand, hanky pattern. Skitter and Roxy both begged to model in the tblog today. How could I say NOPE to those faces? They then bickered with each other over who would get to wear Tie o’ the Day #1, and that got kind of obnoxious, so I did the parent thing and said, “If you’re going to fight over it, you will wear with the same damn tie. I’ll give you something to share about!” And then I tied them together. That’ll learn ’em.
The model mutts are wearing this hanky tie as a tip o’ the hat to Molly Ryther, whose allergies require shots from the vet, and pills, and salve in her eyes. And, of course, Molly’s various ailments and psychoses require Gary to nervously rub holes in the thighs of his pants. That’s Gary’s psychotic move. (He’s my favorite husband.)
FYI I had to pull out Roxy’s snaggle tooth over the weekend. Now her tongue doesn’t hang out of her mouth nearly as much, and her breath is much less deadly. I do not recommend that anybody open her mouth to check it, however.
