When I was a kid frustrated adults used to hurl these words at me like a curse, "Someday your going to have kids and they will be just like you". Never had children. Ha Ha.
Instead I end up with pets that have, uh, let's call it character. Left town over the weekend to attend a Pinball Convention. Boy that was serious fun! Because little Roxie can be a bit wild and we don't want to pay to replace all of neighbor Amy's fragile glass knick-knacks, we think it cheaper to professionally board her instead of taking up Amy's kind offer to dog sit. So when we leave town Roxie goes to Doggie Camp. The dogs have eight hours of human supervised group play before they are assigned to their kennels for the night. Give them an time you will pick up and an hour before hand they will wash your pup. They also give you a report card and play-by-play of how your dog did. While other owners came and went picking up their dogs with comments like, "Oh yours is such a sweetie, did great, bye now", The pick-up lobby started to fill with employees that seemed curious to see Roxies owners and to let us know about her special talents. Roxie knows how to talk. She only talks smack though. With expressive eyes and varying pitch Miss Roxie knows how to let humans know what she is thinking. She also knows how to wind up all the other dogs until they twist-off. Then she takes cover behind a human while pointing and laughing. Our report card was, "We have never seen another dog that acts like she does." Before they split the group into one room for larger dogs and one room for smaller dogs like Roxie, our little angel would torment the larger dogs. She would casually walk by talking smack until the other dog would chase her. Then she would run behind or between the legs of the supervising human who would make the bigger dog leave Roxie alone. At first they thought the big dogs were bothering Roxie. Then they realized she was baiting them into getting yelled at by the human. She didn't bother the little dogs. I'm just glad they said we could bring here back.
I'm an all-inclusive football fan. I root for my local team. I root for my friends teams. And always, I root for my favorite quarterbacks. The Manning Brothers, who can resist those guys. Donovan McNabb and his mom. Having lots of teams and individual players to cheer for makes the season so much more fun.But Brett Farve, (be still my heart), is an icon. When I lived in Minnesota I cheered for the Vikings, but like many Vikings fans in our rivalry with Green Bay, I ...
Early this spring I posted photos of the new rose garden in Farmers Branch , Texas. Now it is autumn and Texas roses are in the peak of second bloom. I was amazed at how well they are all doing because most of the garden is for trial roses. Besides being very beautiful, this garden is unique to any other rose garden. This is the National EarthKind Rose trial garden in the United States. It has all 100 varieties of the EarthKind cultivers. They are being bred to be d...
Driving in the car early Sunday mornings I am held hostage by the option of listening to the public information shows that radios are forced to air once a week or silence.This morning the subject of Whooping Cough aka Pertussis caught my ear. Did you know that your childhood vaccination for it wears off. According to this doctor, 600,000 people in the United States contract Whooping Cough every year. Most of these are teenagers and adults.Whooping Cough can cause br...
What a fun weekend it's been. I'm a big fan of the Sci-Fi/Fantasy section of the bookstore. My spouse owns every video tape and DVD of Star Trek, yet I have never been to a Sci-Fi convention. Mostly because I thought I'm just not hardcore enough, wouldn't know what to say to people and don't own a space uniform or Vulcan ears.Well, I heard about Fen Con in Dallas that caters mostly to Sci-Fi literature. They were having a bunch of authors as guests and I was hop...
