New verse:

Upon the hearth the fire is red, |

Still round the corner there may wait |

Home is behind, the world ahead, |
mmmmm...can you hold dinner about 8 hours? I'll bring a nice bottle of wine...
Don't think I can put it off for much longer. We may gnaw our hands off! Thanks for the reminder about the wine. SirKit has some 'Silver Lake' Reisling that he likes and I've got a nice Chilean 'El Portillo' Sauv Blanc.
He chewed the chew bone for awhile, and he's played a bit with the tennis balls. I took him out and tried to play fetch, but he was getting frustrated by the long lead - it'll work better once we've got the fence done and he can just run free. He's funny, though - rather than charging up to the ball and just grabbing it, he pushes it around for awhile and *then* brings it back. I suppose that's herding behavior, though it's hard to tell with such a small object. ;-)
He also has a rope bone, but doesn't seem to have any interest in that. Surprised me a little, as that was the favorite toy for our older dogs - they'd get *nasty*, they got played with so much, and then we'd stick 'em through the wash. Maybe once he understands it's a toy, he'll play with it more...again, that'll probably be once I have a yard.
Also ran around and around with him this evening. I think I got more tired than he did, but he's staying put in the house, so I guess he's at least somewhat worn out...
He also got one of those nifty Petsmart collar tags - they have a machine that etches them right there. First time I've seen one of those.
Just went to take Cisco out one last time and Cartman was sitting on my front porch again. He tried to smack Cisco and was really ticked off when I shooed him away. He's under the house now, I think.
Thinks he owns the place, he does. ;-)
Cool, is his name on the tag?
So ~that's~ where the wind blew my yard!
Name, address, phone number.
I probably should have just put his name and my phone number - it came out in pretty tiny print. On the other hand, the address isn't a bad thing to have on there.
You are welcome to come out to Colorado any time you want this summer. However, I won't be there and I doubt anyone else will either. Sorry about the inconvenience... but I selfishly made other plans and cancelling them now would be just rude ;-)
I was debating whether I would be sending my regrets or bringing another guest :D
You might have noticed I set her up with a FRname (CareL) and hope she eventually uses it; I think she'd like y'all as much as I do. Trouble is she ha-a-a-ates the computer except insofar as it has been the instrument of our "meeting"*, and will not come here without me physically alongside.
*We haven't met in person, yet. I intend to rectify this by NLT Easter weekend.
Morning - well, a little bit of it anyway. Hope you still have some left.
~sip~
last swim lesson, then yard work today
no rain last night
*Sigh*
What's a cat to do when her human wants to sleep in Saturday morning?
She claws some human face.
I'm tellin' ya...throwin' the cat across the room once or twice will cure that...
trini's having a birthday party at her house for her oldest daughter in a few hours. I've got to wrangle up the kids and get to the store.
Oh, and speaking of birthdays....
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, G'NAD!
Happy Birthday g'nad!
Morning, we're hoping to get some rain tomorrow.
I need help; it's time to get a new computer!
Do any of you guys who know more about them than I do have a recommendation? Brand, operating system, etc.?
Right now we're using an old Dell, which has been pretty good, but just can't keep up any more. Daughter thinks we ought to change to a MAC, but it could be a problem changing some of the software over, like Quickbooks.
Our Dell has been good, but I constantly hear horror stories about 'em.
Any ideas much appreciated.
BBL
Happy Birthday G'nad.
BTW, did you see the pics from the Everglades when Ramius was here visiting? I was hoping you could positively identify the snake we saw.
