The New Toaster

It's a "toaster". The other broke. I had to get a new one. I seem to recall a red one when I first came here. I rather liked the red one. If were changing "toasters", can we get it back? I don't like this one. I liked the old one. "Toasters" bring bad things. I hate them! I hate them!

What are you talking about? You hated the old toaster. You made fun of it all the time. Maybe I didn't actually HATE it. I mean, after a while it kind of grew on me.

What did you do with the old one? I...um...gave it up for adoption.

Adoption? Oh no! Are you going to give us up for adoption too? No! Not adoption! What if we promise to be really good and not bark too much?

In Memoriam:

I thought yoiu liked the Honda. I do, but this is what I could afford. I call slotgun!

Don’t make me go near that thing.

********************************

As if life weren’t busy enough, I had to get a new “toaster” this week. I brought it home to show Murphy, and he wouldn’t come within 10 yards of it. I guess I don’t have to worry about him borrowing it in the middle of the night…you know, to make toast.

Forcing fluids has some interesting side effects like being affected by the gravitational pull of the moon….and being able to keep up with the boys at night.

How about we start by peeing on this?

Mesozoic Musings

Have you ever wondered what dinosaurs smelled like. Can't say that I have.

I imagine that the stench of one huge dinosaur would be as if everyone in California's garbage had been left out to cook in the hot sun while the trash collectors were all on strike for a month. What an image.

Yeah, I think I'd like dinosaurs. You're a weird little dog.

They say the dinosaurs that survived the meteor are what we now call “birds”.

In that case, I KNOW I like dinosaurs…especially chicken ones!!!

Murphy and the Watermelon

Hey guys! You gotta see this. It's the best thing ever!

What's going on? Looks like you got yourself a watermelon!

Interesting fact about watermelon...it's a diuretic.

The watermelons in the garden are finally ripe enough to pick. While most of the other foods this year were pretty awful, the watermelons are amazing. I found one about the size of a softball to give to Murphy. He immediately declared it to be the best food ever and ate the whole thing, rind and all.

I tried to keep an eye on him, but Nature took its course when my back was turned.

You’ll have to pay closer attention to my subtle clues.

Murphy has learned a trick from the whole incident. Now if he thinks I am taking too long to get him outside, he starts sniffing the leg of the chair that he peed on. Suddenly mom can move very quickly!

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.

Something Like the Sun

I have a friend with such incredible energy. Being around her is like standing in the sun. She lights up a room and brightens everyone's mood.

I am the antithesis of this friend. My dark energy drains everyone around me and makes them unhappy. I'm don't feel as exotic as a black hole. I'm more of a...a....

An "ask hole"? I was going to say "charcoal".

I was watching a TV show where a psychic medium said that the personalities of people stay the same even after they cross over. Ouch. I was hoping the suckiness of my circumstances contributed to my awful personality, but now it looks like it may be organic. I guess I won’t be able to stand my own company in the next world either.

Really? You’re taking life advice from TV shows?

Oops I Did It Again

My poor puppies. They have been so bored lately…only getting into trouble inside my head instead of on paper.

It’s my fault the puppies are so bored. I ended up getting Lyme disease again, and it totally wrecked my summer. I was surprised to find out I had it because my symptoms didn’t match the warning signs you are supposed to watch out for. Plus, the blasted tick was only on me for a few minutes. My understanding was that you couldn’t catch the disease in that short of a period of time. Well, it looks like you can if you’re immunocompromised.

When the doctor told me she thought I had Lyme, I said I was surprised. I told her this didn’t feel anything like it did the last time. She asked what it felt like last time. When I told her, her eyes got big, and she looked noticeably taken aback. “Wow,” she said, “you had a really bad case last time.” (Ha! I knew it. I knew I was sick even if no one wanted to take me seriously!)

I’ve been taking medication for the past several weeks, but I still have a bit to go. These antibiotics are so hard on me I feel like I might not make it to the end of the treatment. If you don’t hear from us for a while, it’s because the boys are keeping me company while I whine to them about how lousy I feel.

Better you than me!

You’re right, little puppy. Much better me than you.

The Schumann Resonance

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.

Things That Go Bump In The Night

The other night I was tossing and turning, trying to get to sleep. Suddenly there was a thump and a bump from under my bed. Rather than being afraid, it made me smile. I had forgotten that when Geordie would sleep under the bed, he would bonk his head as he moved around. My little boy had come to visit and had given me exactly what I needed to find peace.

Thank you, stinky man.
