Fame and fortune
mr_ed: You got some good press for Blogathon!
Tucker: That's because I am good!
mr_ed: You've fooled a few people, anyway.
Tucker: Did you see what Kittyn said about me? "[P]erhaps the coolest blog out there this year."
mr_ed: Of course, you have help.
Tucker: "Tucker writes beautifully and Mr. Ed only serves to complement his fine friend."
mr_ed: Mmm-hmm.
Tucker: I don't remember any compliments today.
mr_ed: "Tucker is a beautiful Siberian Husky" wasn't enough?
Tucker: She said that four days ago. What have you done for me lately?
mr_ed: Gave you food, treats, more food, more treats....
Tucker: Yadda.
mr_ed: Oh?
Tucker: That's only enough for one yadda.
mr_ed: You were outstanding in promoting the MaxFund no-kill animal shelter during Blogathon! We booked just over $1000 in pledges! You and your beautifulness were a ::cough:: lean, mean, sponsor-grabbing machine!
Tucker: Huh. Girls are beautiful. Boys are handsome.
mr_ed: Give her a break, she's a cat person. You're handsome to a girl Sibe, of course.
Tucker: That was mean.
mr_ed: But for most people, fluffy dogs are beautiful. "Handsome" would be for, say, German Shepherd Dogs.
Tucker: Except when they pull the poor dog's leg way back.
mr_ed: Yeah, those extreme hip angulations are something else. Stacking a dog like that makes it look like someone's trying to pull the drumstick off a turkey. But anyway, you're a good-lookin' dude.
Tucker: Yeah, yeah. But we did get lots of sponsors, didn't we?
mr_ed: Yup! There were around 45 bloggers raising money for animal-welfare groups, and we came in third!
Tucker: We beat the Southern California Bulldog Rescue. ::big Husky smile::
mr_ed: Yes, we got just a few more dollars in pledges than they did. But we didn't "beat" them - everybody's a winner here. By the way, our friend Meeshka came in first for animals, blogging for Harnessed to Hope Northern Breed Rescue.
Tucker: Who was second?
mr_ed: Why, our friend Kittyn, blogging for the ASPCA! You should go thank her and congratulate her.
Tucker: Yes. I will. What's for tomorrow?
mr_ed: Contacting our sponsors. Catching up on stuff that we let slide for at least the last week.
Tucker: Did you say lots of naps?
mr_ed: No, I said hook the Husky up to a cart and take some heavy furniture to Goodwill.
Tucker: Yes, that's what I thought you said. Lots of naps.
mr_ed: The infamous Husky hearing impairment.
Tucker: Huh?
mr_ed: Who's on first?
Tucker: What's in it for me?
mr_ed: No, What's on second.
Tucker: Name the right fielder.
mr_ed: Huh?
Tucker: That's what I said!
mr_ed: When you're right, you're right.
Tucker: No, I'm not in right. That's why I'm asking you, "Name the right fielder."
mr_ed: Naturally.
Tucker: That's what I thought.
mr_ed: G'night, bucko.
Tucker: ::snort:: G'night.

Great job with blogathon for both of you!
Tucker, I think you definitely deserve more treats, and more food, and definitely more naps! That is totally what being a dog is about. Forget this working breed sfuff. I'm for hard working napping!
