Dooce Tribute post

yes, I realize this is a ripoff of an all-time famous blogger. But it's actually a tribute. Not a ripoff. Because, well, I'm naming my sources.

"How to annoy me"

Pester me about getting a dog. A lab. Since you had one in childhood and have all these warm fuzzy memories. And play the trump card of mentioning it to the kids and telling them I say no. Then...after I finally cave in and agree, and we get the dog, continue to work 10-12 hours per day. And, take a business trip for four days after the puppy has only lived with us a week.
