Happy Easter

*

No matter what the holiday, it would appear that Jesus likes to play football to celebrate.

*

I’m not much of a sports guy, but I like those little chocolate eggs that look like footballs!

Cattywampus (Or “When One Thing Each Day” Goes Wrong)

I started out making a baby quilt to donate, but it ended up being a full-sized quilt for my own bed…with matching shams.

*

I tried again with different fabric. I wanted to make something to give away, and….it turned into an apron that I kept.

*

After all that effort I didn’t end up getting rid on anything, but I lie to myself that my situation is better because my fabric is no longer in a jumble in a bag.

*

Why didn’t you make a blanket for my bed? I like blankets.

Der Sturm

Sturm!

Weh wild und frei

Sing mir dein Leid

Zeig mir den drei

(Der Sturm, Blumfeld)

Storm!

Blow wild and free

sing me your song

Show me the rotation (spin)

Thank heavens for the Germans or we wouldn’t have any good songs about this weekend.

I’m not sure what is going on in other parts of the country right now, but they keep pushing back the time the storm will get here. Saturday was supposed to be the worst day, but now snow isn’t expected to start till 3:00 am. This area has been so painfully dry for three years that it is hard to believe we will get significant snowfall.

Murphy doesn’t like going outside to potty, but he still wants to go for walks. 🙄. I would be happy to sit at home for a few days and watch TV (presuming we still have power), but I guess that’s not going to happen with this little motivator around.

Mom makes me wear two coats when I go out. ☹️

The Peacoat

*

For real? Honest? Yes!

*

Yes! Every day I get to take a pill that makes me pee a LOT!

*

Mom, can we - Absolutely not!

*

For Heaven's sake, Murphy, how did you manage to soak your entire coat - even the collar?!?

*

I don’t know what you’re complaining about. My pee smells nice.

*

Bitey Mom may be making a joke about pee pills, but inside she is concerned. I know that little Murphy is only on loan from heaven, but I still don’t like seeing his health decline.

The Tube

*

I went to throw away a paper towel tube yesterday, but something stopped me. I realized that I still have an instinct to save cardboard tubes for Geordie to destroy. It’s funny the way these memories pop up at random times.

*

Cairn terrier sits surrounded by Christmas toys.

Me? A destroyer?

(OK, so 10 minutes after this picture was taken, every toy was shredded….)

I still miss that crazy boy.

The Schumann Resonance

The other day a friend was telling e about the Schumann Resonance. It's a set of peaks in the extremely low frequency of the earth's electromagnetic field.

*

Research has shown that the Schumann Resonance has a connection to biological organisms. It might affect people's ability to think or their moods or their physical well-being.

*

At first it just sounded like New Age mumbo jumbo, but then I started thinking about how my OT was looking for connections between changes in barometric pressure and some of my problems. Are magnetic waves any stranger than barometric pressure? What do you think?

*

I think it's a piss poor organism that can't exist in the environment for which it was designed.

*

Aaagh….this is the environment for which I was designed.

Six Month Rule

There's room over here for that sweater!

*

What do you guys think you're doing? We were watching one of your Hoarders shows, and they said if you haven't worn something in the past six months, you should probably get rid of it.

*

Of course I haven't worn them in six months. It's summer, not winter. Go put everything back.

*

But we wanted to put a ping-pong table in there!

*

Those who advocate for the six month rule are rubbing our noses

in the fact that they live in mild climates.

A good way to spend hot summer days is indoors reading Dream Our World! (Plus, proceeds help Murphy’s Biscuit Fund.)

5 1/2 Weeks

I apologize if any of you were eating when you opened this. (Eww! Gross old lady legs!)

I use Bitey Dog as sort of a personal journal. This post is for myself so later I can look back and remember what this stupid tick bite was like.

What does it feel like? It is like having a deep tissue bruise on top of a giant mosquito bite. When I’m reclining it feels better. Standing makes it ache. It nearly always itches. Heat makes everything much worse. (Hard to avoid heat in the summer! 😆)

Why don’t I take antihistamines? There are very few antihistamines I can take. When I’ve tried them in the past, they made me sleepy and gave me dry mouth, but they didn’t really affect the allergic reaction.

What about steroids? Topical ones make things worse (increased itching). I don’t know about oral steroids. There are none that I can take because they all contain corn.

Would you get that thing out of my face already?!? I told you how we dogs feel about ticks.

Years ago I was bitten by several spiders. If I remember correctly, it took around eight weeks for the symptoms to fade. It looks like I have close to three weeks more of this to go. ☹️.

I wish I could use my experience to pressure pharma companies to diversify the bases for products. I know I’m not the only person in a situation where we would likely benefit from medication but can’t take it.
