Awkward Moment

The awkward moment when you bend down to pet your dog in the dark room and it's not there. Then you trip over it.

So...

So I'm sitting on my chair. So a dog comes to get petted. So I'm sitting on my chair petting a dog. And the dog likes it. So after a bit the dog decides to get more comfortable and settles into a new position. Now I can't reach the dog to pet it. So the dog is upset with me because I'm not petting it anymore. Wait. How is this MY fault?!?

Peaceful

Quiet morning rain

Whispers through open porch doors.

I hug drowsing dogs

Grumbling

The problem with grumbling at your dogs while petting them is that mine now think that "I love you" and "I don't love you" mean the same thing. Also "you're a good dog" and "you're a bad dog".

Basil infused Olive oil.

Basil infused olive oil: Use fresh basil. Chop finely using a coffee grinder. Put in small glass bottle - the kind they serve jam in in hotels (2" tall and 1 3/4" in diameter) until it is about 10-20% full. Add olive oil until it is 82% full. Do not overfill. To accelerate the infusion, use a steamer cookpot. Fill the lower pot with water and put the bottle with its cover loosely on in the top pot. Cover top pot and let steam for 40-45 minutes. Let cool. Once it is cool, you can use on toast, or add to your spaghetti meat sauce or other cooking. An alternative is to use weed fresh mint leaves and vegetable oil and use the weed mint infused oil to make brownies.

There is nothing to fear...

There is nothing to fear but fear itself and accidentally buying decaffeinated coffee.

Vampire Dogs

While away from facebook, I learned that biting your doggie in the neck at 3 pm on a Sunday afternoon will not turn her into a vampire dog. Not even if you do it three Sundays in a row.

Comment: BTW welcome back. I adore your flavor of insanity.

Muddy Grass

My adult doggie has discovered the joys of snuffling in muddy grass after a bath. Not sure if to be happy for her or not.

Surf 'n Gnaw

Dog room now has high-speed internet and a container of rawhide bones for air conditioned surf 'n gnaw convenience.

Glorious Day

Today is one of those gloriously sunny days that's perfect for putting a hammock up in the shade and sleeping.

Real, but Unreal
