And also she sent me this CD:
How nice is that? It's super nice, that's how nice it is. I've been meaning to get some music by Enter The Haggis but I just never got around to it. Boy howdy, am I glad that Suzy got around to it for me because this band rocks. They're not the usual Celtic/Gaelic band, they've got a hard edge to their music that I'm really digging on. 
We always see ones that size that routinely sell for anywhere between $150 to $300. We nearly plotzed when we saw this beauty for under $50, so we snapped it up. 
Three cheers for Suzy!
sent me some more swag! That's right, I said, "more," as in this is the second bit o' swag she's tossed my way. This time she sent me a handmade Ukrainian style egg ornament. She took a real egg, blew out the yolk and the egg white, and then dyed the outside using a batik like process. Ain't it cool?
El Tigre (that's what I decided to name my little figure knowing full well he's got another name that I could care less about because I have decided his name is El Tigre) liked it so much he wanted to model it for you:
As I said this is Suzy's second offering of swag. I'm not suggesting that the rest of you need to send me two swag offerings, oh no. The rest of you can feel free to send me one swag package and I'll be happy with that, after all most of you are not the over achiever that Suzy is.
Thanks for the swell gift Suzy. I can't wait to hang it on our tree later this year, which hopefully will be set up in a new to us Monkey Central.
On one hand, dogs are pretty damn smart because they can respond to and understand human speech and demands, while we on the other hand can not understand them for the most part. So I'd have to go with dogs. But.....
On the other hand cats may be able to understand us but they have the sense enough not to let us know if they do. By making us bend to their will cats are pretty smart. And they are more independent than dogs.
But on the third hand, yeah I know, "third hand" doesn't exist, well neither does the "third eye" smart ass, both dogs and cats have allowed themselves to be domesticated so both creatures reap the benefits of humans being at the top of the evolutionary ladder.
But, and this is my last "but" I promise, since I'm a dog person, I'd say dogs are smarter.
Thanks for sending in that question Suzy! You rock.
Get out those handkerchiefs kids because tomorrow is the end of "Question a Day." And to those of you who sent in two questions, I appreciate your zeal but in order to be fair to everyone I chose only one of your questions.
