We halfway watch DOOL during our lunch hour at work.  (When we don't have anything better to talk about)  It's getting monotonous.  And the commercials... omg... ten in a row at times.  It's ludicrous.  Seriously NBC... are you THAT hard up??

The Rainbow Bridge   Just this side of heaven is a place called Rainbow Bridge. When an animal dies that has been especially close to someone here, that pet goes to Rainbow Bridge. There are meadows and hills for all of our special friends so they can run and play together. There is plenty of food, water an...more
