The Hobbit Hole XXXIV - But better than rain or rippling streams...

Posted on 08/07/2007 7:52:15 AM PDT by HairOfTheDog

Welcome to The Hobbit Hole!

Sing hey! for the bath at close of day
That washes the weary mud away!
A loon is he that will not sing:
O! Water Hot is anoble thing!

O! Sweet is the sound of falling rain.
and the brook that leaps from hill to plain;
but better than rain or rippling streams
is Water Hot that smokes and steams.

O! Water cold we may pour at need
down a thirsty throat and be glad indeed;
but better is Beer, if drink we lack,
and Water Hot poured down the back.

O! Water is fair that leaps on high
in a fountain white beneath the sky;
but never did fountain sound so sweet
as splashing Hot Water with my feet!

I’m assuming she got on her way this morning at 0:dark:30... I’m going to head over and get Cisco here in a bit so he can be on vacation too. :~)

no... Cisco can’t come up for Christmas. He never stops moving ;~)

But we’ll just be gone for the day, hopefully home by dark, then we’ll rescue him. He doesn’t know it’s Christmas, right?

Heh... it’s gonna be fun at my folks’ house with our pups around their ancient golden retriever and the two year old rentakid. I’m not sure whether they’ll be traumatized or do the traumatizing.

Neither does Luke, but we take him with us anyway.

In other newz, Sam almost bit me last night for the first time ever. Mrs. and I traded off on nayberhood caroling. I went with Luke until they go to our house. When they got there Sam got out and wouldn't come back in.

I took him by the collar and he snarled at me big time. I think if he could have gotten to me, he would have bitten me. I bopped him on the snout and gave him a pretty thorough yelling at.

Yikes. Bad boy Sam...

Did you go neighborhood caroling? I haven’t seen neighborhood carolers since the fire dept. guys used to drive a tanker down the street caroling when I was a kid.

I wonder if I actually hurt him when I grabbed his collar. He don’t move as easily as he used to.

Yes, our neighborhood does caroling every year. But it’s getting to be a lot of the kids with their friends. There were only about half a dozen adults, not many of whom were really singing out. It’s a pretty sad excuse for caroling, really.

But they gather afterwards at a neighbor’s house for cookies and hot chocolate. So we do it for Luke (and thus is the story of my life).

Well, I think it’s great that the kids want to do it... it would be cute even if it’s not very ‘good’.

Could be. Dogs do freak out about grabbing them by the collar anyhow though, Barkley screams like you’re killing him and lays down like a stubborn kid. Gidget just sits back and pulls it over her head ;~)

Thanks! His name is Buster. I have another one named Bear (shown below) and they've both decided that the wreath is their own personal cat bed. So much for hanging it on the door...

With Frog’s permission, I was thinking of submitting that to the LOL cats website.
