Got to watch another Due South episode last night. I got past the "AAAAAH I'M DOOMED" part fairly early on and spent most of the episode going 'squee!', with the occasional bout of 'that animal is about as much of a wolf as I am'. Also wrinkling my nose a lot at the female lead's excessive hair and makeup.

On a semi-related note, my calendar this year appears to have pretty much every Canadian holiday in addition to the American ones. Also quite a lot of Mexican holidays. This was not done on purpose; I bought it because it was on sale for $4, and it was all German shepherds, and one does not get fussy about which breed of dog is on one's calendar when one is shopping for calendars at the $4 price point. It did, however, pay off in one regard. Lacking any particular reason to choose any other day, I picked 25 February 1873 as Sergeant Preston's birthday. According to my calendar, 25 February is Yukon Heritage Day.

It seemed appropriate.

"aaaah I'm doomed?"

I've never known that reaction to Due South before.

Squee? definitely. Even done that a time or two myself - love that show *G* But 'doomed'? *L*

(and yes. Dief ain't much of a wolf *L* however, having never much liked the idea of 'training' wolves, and liking that dog/how they played him ... I've always had a fondness for Dief *G*)

At the dog park the other day, there was a beautiful....errrr, dog. I said to the owner, with a smile, "So exactly how much dog is there in that dog?" He replied with a grin "Oh, well, they SAY about 25%", or one grandparent. According to the rules and regs in BC about wolf-dogs, they have to be a minimum of 1/16 dog. I am betting that'about what they were at with this particular creature. He has the most amazing golden eyes! He is so incredibly wolf-like, in an incredibly overjoyed to meet people, running around making flat ears, grinning and making 'helicopter tail' kind of a way...

So you're saying you're now almost fully ATC - American to Canadian. I know you've been out of the closet for while, and it looks like you're almost there.

Dief is also not deaf. Fraser claims that he is in a regular basis, but he's not. He responds to commands and during later seasons (when the show got even goofier) there are one or two scenes from Dief's P-O-V in which he can hear people talking. So the wolf is not deaf. I think he just plays deaf to annoy Fraser. (Can you tell I think about this too much?)
