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?

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.

For some reason I am especially fond of hoarding failure.

After my last post I got a notice from WP telling me that it was my 1,000th post. I wish I had realized that and made it more festive!
Festive or otherwise, biscuits are the only suitable things to hoard.

OK, this isn’t entirely true. I did draw Murphy digitally. It’s just that I am more comfortable drawing on paper.
As long as I get adulation, I don’t care if it comes digitally or otherwise.

With Independence Day coming and patriotism at an all-time high, consider adding this unique Armed Forces Quilt to your home decor.
An Armed Forces themed alphabet quilt is a great way to introduce little ones to the world Mommy and/or Daddy work in, or it could be a gift to a hero who has already served.
Each letter block in this U.S. Armed Forces Alphabet Quilt has a colorful, non-threatening representation of some aspect of military life. (W is for “World comma anywhere-in-the,” which is where you may serve! M is for M.R.E.) The corner blocks have pictures which represent the caring and kind natures of the men and women who serve in the armed forces. After all, a lot of what the military does is build relationships. One corner has a sailor kissing his baby goodbye. Another shows the special relationship between a soldier and the camp dog. Another has a service member playing soccer/football with a young boy. The final block is a family waiting for their loved one to return home after deployment.
Now you know why God was so ticked about the Garden of Eden.

If you look at the base of the pinwheel, you can see a nest of baby bunnies. Murphy is definitely not a predator at heart.
My mom was trying to get Geordie to look at the camera so I could take his picture. She said “bunny” to get his attention, and this is what happened. Geordie was my hunter.
A lot of people have tried to make me feel guilty about protecting my garden, but if there are no checks and balances, rabbits can quickly get out of control. Australia was devastated by a rabbit invasion. An island in Greece housed prosperous vineyards for centuries until rabbits destroyed them. Bunnies may be cute, but they are prolific and ravenous.
This classically tailored Man’s XL Coffee Brown Tweed Cardigan is comfortable enough to wear on chilly evenings at home yet handsome enough to wear to work on casual Fridays. It can even be worn to church or out to dinner. Dressed up or dressed down this hand knit cardigan in Coffee Brown is sure to quickly become a favorite in your man’s wardrobe.
Actually this post was a way for me to get acquainted with a new computer. My old one was 15 years young (not even old enough to drive *sniff*), and I was afraid it would give out on me during tariffs/chip shortage – name your disaster of choice to make prices higher. Of course my old software won’t work on the new system, so I have been experimenting with replacements. What a mess.
Bitey Dog might have a different look since old tools are no longer available. Maybe I’ll take this opportunity to make the boys all Westies so I don’t have to worry about colors anymore.
Now I feel like an idiot for doing it one drop at a time.
I found out recently that there is something called Green Lightning that can create nitrogen for fertilizer using electricity, water and air. The company says it uses about the same amount of energy as a toaster. They claim it can pay for itself in a year. So how much does it cost? First the low down payment of $97.00…then a second payment of $11,500.00 and a final payment of $27,040.00. Easy peasy lemon squeezey! (Guess we’ll have to stick to dog pee.)

Spare yourself the anxiety worrying over tariffs when dealing with products from other countries. Buy the young man in your life quality Made in America clothing for the next special occasion in his life completely tariff free!

This surprising collection of stats greeted me from my dashboard last week. For some reason it reminded me of Dennis Miller on SaturdayNightLive declaring, “Germans love David Hasselhoff!”
Since there were no likes or comments, I will guess that a German bot loves Bitey Dog. Perhaps it was Funnybot? (Ooh, that would be awkward…)
