Soaring high
among the stars
Look at the road.
There are no cars.
People locked
in prison homes,
turning soft while
nations grow.
What happens next?
I hate to see.
You’d better learn
to speak Chinese.

THE DOG STAR “SIRIUS”
Brilliant!
JUSE SO TOU KNOW YOUNG TOBY
SIRIUS IS KNOWN COLLOQUIALLY AS THE “DOG STAR”, REFLECTING ITS PROMINENCE IN ITS CONSTELLATION, CANIS MAJOR (THE GREATER DOG).[18] THE HELIACAL RISING OF SIRIUS MARKED THE FLOODING OF THE NILE IN ANCIENT EGYPT AND THE “DOG DAYS” OF SUMMER FOR THE ANCIENT GREEKS, WHILE TO THE POLYNESIANS, MOSTLY IN THE SOUTHERN HEMISPHERE, THE STAR MARKED WINTER AND WAS AN IMPORTANT REFERENCE FOR THEIR NAVIGATION AROUND THE PACIFIC OCEAN.
ALSO… THE CONSTELtION OF ORION fTHE HUNTER.. TO HIS LEFT AS WE SEE HIM… ARE HIS HUNTING DOS.. CANNIS MAJOR ND MINOR… AND THEY CHAS LUPUS THE HARE
CANIS MAJOR CONTAINS SIRIUS, THE BRIGHTEST STAR IN THE NIGHT SKY, KNOWN AS THE “DOG STAR”. IT IS BRIGHT BECAUSE OF ITS PROXIMITY TO THE SOLAR SYSTEM. IN CONTRAST, THE OTHER BRIGHT STARS OF THE CONSTELLATION ARE STARS OF GREAT DISTANCE AND HIGH LUMINOSITY. AT MAGNITUDE 1.5, EPSILON CANIS MAJORIS
(ADHARA) IS THE SECOND-BRIGHTEST STAR OF THE CONSTELLATION AND THE BRIGHTEST SOURCE OF EXTREME ULTRAVIOLET RADIATION IN THE NIGHT SKY. NEXT IN BRIGHTNESS ARE THE YELLOW-WHITE SUPERGIANT DELTA (WEZEN) AT 1.8, THE BLUE-WHITE GIANT BETA (MIRZAM) AT 2.0, BLUE-WHITE SUPERGIANTS ETA (ALUDRA) AT 2.4 AND OMICRON2 AT 3.0, AND WHITE SPECTROSCOPIC BINARY ZETA (FURUD), ALSO AT 3.0. THE RED HYPERGIANT VY CANIS MAJORIS IS ONE OF THE LARGEST STARS KNOWN, WHILE THE NEUTRON STAR RX J0720.4-3125 HAS A RADIUS OF A MERE 5 KM..
Wow, I feel smart enough to an astrodog now! – Toby
You are high, flying adored
And this time I didn’t use any of those funny mushrooms. – Toby
China scares the bejinkies out of me.
我也是
don’t make me hurt you 🙂
Yikes, don’t hurt me! Actually there is a story behind this. Maybe someday I’ll tell it…
and someday would be when? I am not a patient person, by the way.
Keep flying high, Toby! You encourage us to fly! 🙂 We love you! 🙂
HUGS from me, Coops
…and PATS and RUBS from my Mom 🙂
Aw, thank you!
You already know character chinese
So you will be able to greet our new overlords~
I will not greet them so heartily though
They eat dogs dontcha’ know!
…a poem by Anonymous-mouse…
(Seriously they even boil them alive in a giant wok. The belief is the pain and suffering make the meat more tender. Videos are horrifying. Any further of my comments/opinions aren’t suitable for a G-rated blog.)
Goofed up my on poem signature. You get the idea though….
Second messed up edit. Ughhh…
Is there a way for me to edit my comments without adding more comments??
Back. A youtube video for you.
Don’t let Toby watch this.
Warning: If you’re on blood pressure meds make sure you’ve already taken them for the day.
I can’t watch! I can’t watch! I prefer the school of thought that the happier the animal is, the better it tastes. Some go to great lengths to make sure their livestock feel no fear or pain.
Toby is now feeling very, very inspired to defend his country if/when the inevitable happens.
Bark, bark right back at ya. 吠 吠
Max, you are quite the polyglot!
That means somebody who eats a lot, right?
…and a walking dictionary to boot!
Hope you are all doing well! Stopping by with HUGS and PATS and RUBS!!! 🙂
Thank you for caring about us! Toby is doing well. Mommy not so much. 🙁
Aw. I’m so sorry to hear about Mommy. 😦
You’re in my thoughts with best wishes for things to get better. (((HUGS))), too.
