The Hobbit Hole XXXV - ...is Water Hot that smokes and steams.

Posted on 01/03/2008 6:35:58 PM PST 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!

Our dogs decided to spend all afternoon and evening yesterday puking. Hopefully they’re over it today. They managed to hit two out of three small rugs...

Well, our dogs aren’t messing the rugs, but they itch.

If it’s not one thing it’s another!

Well, maybe the hospice type work, and private duty nursing would be a better thing for you than the stress of a hospital job. You’d still be doing your nursing, it would just be a lot less hectic.

They have been advertising Dinovite on the radio for weeks now. It might be worth a try.

Abby cat isn’t doing well and has an appointment at the vet this afternoon. She apparently can’t make it up the stairs and has been peeing in a basket of seashells we have (er shall I say had) downstairs.

It might not have been the dog in the office. Jr. just assumed it was because of, shall we say, volume.

I dare not take my cat to the vet without putting her in her carries first(and she hates the carrier).

Uh-oh, that does not sound good. Best of luck to Miss Abby Cat at the vets. LSA
