This moment was just too cute not to capture. She is precious!
Whenever see him I always scream, “I love you, Mr Smee!”
Dude gets no love.

Teddy was a batboy for the Reds game Thursday when he announced in bits and pieces that he wanted three things: 11 runs for the Reds, 11 strikeouts for the pitching staff — a local pizza company, LaRosa’s, gives fans a free pizza when the Reds whiff 11 batters, and Teddy loves that pizza — and a home run for Todd Frazier.
The Reds scored those 11 runs and recorded those 11 strikeouts. As for Frazier, this is what Teddy told him before his at-bat in the sixth inning: “Come on, hit me a home run, I love you.”
And this is what Frazier told Teddy: “I love you too. I’ll hit you one.”
I love you too.
That’s reason No. 1 why Todd Frazier is my favorite player. Not that he promised Teddy a home run, but because he told Teddy, “I love you too.” Ballplayer or not, who does that? What grown man tells another grown man that? My favorite player does.

Me: …
Ducky: …
Me: There was an ASPCA commercial on TV, wasn’t there?

Me: Ah. They do have a new song now, yes. Joe Cocker’s “You Are So Beautiful.”
Ducky: And the first dog looked like Foley.
Me: Yeah.
Ducky: …
Me: …
Ducky: Not all dogs are as lucky as me. And I don’t say “Thank you” enough.
Me: Not all people are as lucky as me. No thanks needed. I wish all those doggies had homes.
Ducky: Me too.
Me: Best doggies in the world come from shelters.
Ducky: Like me!
Me: Yup. And like Foley.
Ducky: …
Me: …
Ducky: Thanks, Daddy. For everything.

Don't try to "out clever" me.
Him: It's the perfect relationship. I get to have sex with my best friend!

Him: ...
Me: Ew.
This week’s new post at wellthatsjustducky. New posts every Sunday at 7:00 pm ET.
Ducky: Glad you’re home.
Me: Glad to be home. Missed you, Duck. The Lady’s Sister said you were a very good boy.
Ducky: Really?
Me: Yeah.
Ducky: She doesn’t like the cat.
Me: I assume that played a role in her positive assessment of your behavior.
Ducky: Meaning…
Me: She doesn’t mind if you chase Scooter.
Ducky: Yeah. You should take more vacations.
Me: Nice.
Ducky: Still glad you’re home. You understand the intricate subtleties of the dog/human relationship.
Me: Meaning?
Ducky: You know to feed me early.
Me: I am the dog whisperer.
Ducky: Welcome home. I love you, Daddy.
Me: I love you, Ducky.

More of the joy of a relationship with me.
Her: You aren't going to start loving me less are you?
Me: Aw! That's not possible. I couldn't love you less.
Her: Thank you.
Me: ...
Her: Wait...
Let someone love you just the way you are – as flawed as you might be, as unattractive as you sometimes feel, and as unaccomplished as you think you are. To believe that you must hide all the parts of you that are broken, out of fear that someone else is incapable of loving what is less than perfect, is to believe that sunlight is incapable of entering a broken window and illuminating a dark room.

Down to one person.
One person in my life who would be impacted by my absence. If I disappeared tomorrow some would miss me for a short period, but the truth is my existence is fundamentally irrelevant outside of my relationship with Gizmo. I’m so grateful to have that relationship. I know so many who wish they had what I have with her. But knowing that I add no value to my universe outside of that is hard to manage. I makes finding the motivation to get up in the morning difficult.
And at the moment it makes falling asleep even harder.

Gizmo got me a very awesome heart rate monitor for when I run!
Most importantly this implies she thinks I actually have a heart.
Or that she wanted empirical evidence.
Probably the latter.
Ag
Loving someone is not owning someone. It is a decision where two individual human beings have decided to share this concept of fully accepting each other as they are together. The only thing that is yours is the other half of the relationship commitment, and if you cannot live up to that, then it is time to go.
