Technically, Dogger (Darling Husband of bloggranddaughter Lee Ann of Lee Ann's View) is one of the "& Friends" part of the Bad Example Family (& Friends) Reunion. However, since he's married to Lee Ann, he'd be a bloggrandson-in-law if he started blogging, so he'd get a free pass into the family, anyway.

And blog he should, because he'd fit right in to the family like that little jigsaw puzzle piece that has a little sky and a little tree and it's driving you crazy because you can't find it, but it's not your fault, because the dog's sitting on it while he stares up at you with that bored expression on his face because he thinks jigsaw puzzles are a waste of time and he REALLY wishes you'd toss that tennis ball for him because it's been WEEKS since the last time you played with him, but you don't realize that - I mean, what with working and keeping the house clean and all your blogging and trying to earn a living, slaving away for an ungrateful boss for ten hours a day, how the hell are you supposed to remember the last time you played with the dog?

That, and he already has a cool blogger nickname. I mean... "Dogger"... He's SET.

Anyway, he came through the door & just started chatting away like he'd known us all for years. He's quick-witted and amiable, and he mixes a hell of a martini. In fact, he's the one who got Frank J. of IMAO drunk enough to double-post. Always a great thing to have an experienced bartender at your parties.

He's also the one who explained to me what Lee Ann's little finger-curling-thing meant, and did it in fine fashion. A first-class story-teller, that one. The blogosphere suffers for lack of his presence.

According to Boudicca of Boudicca's Voice, he's a good potato-peeler, too. And the fact that he dove right in to help out with the kitchen chores should give you some insight into his character. Not one to sit on his ass when there's work to be done.

If that's not enough proof of his wonderfulness for you, consider also how sweet, warm, and cheery I said Lee Ann was. The fact is, a woman doesn't get that happy without a good man by her side to keep her feeling loved. They're a delightful couple, and Dogger obviously does his part to keep it that way.

Right now, Dogger is having a few health issues. Rather serious ones, in fact. But if Lee Ann hadn't blogged about it, I never would've been able to tell. His cheerful disposition never wavered at the party. And THAT should tell you something about the man, too.

Anyway, the situation is at a point where some thoughts and prayers would come in handy, and Lee Ann has a few posts where it would be appropriate to leave them.

Please do, because I want a new bloggrandson-in-law as soon as possible.
