OOOOOOOOklahoma

OKC skyline-we have more big trucks than big buildings.

The nicest store in OKC is a sporting goods store.

An oil derek at the stable. I still think they look like mechanical T-rex!

Oh Lady Wind

Oh, Lady Wind-don't you have something better to do
Than blow around my head, making me sneeze kerchooo
Oh, Lady Wind-please blow the clouds away
Bring the flowers and sun, and let them stay, stay, stay

Ok, I have no idea where that came from or why it popped into my head. Perhaps, confronted with blank space, I felt the need to fill it-with wind?

It orignally started out as Mister Wind-but who says Ladies can't be windbags too? Certainly not me!

Do you ever wonder about people (Animal Wednesday)

The woman has been working with the Molly a lot lately-she uses that clicker thing and treats. The thing is, she's teaching her the exact same things she taught the Moon-Sit, Down, blah blah blah. Click click click...GOOD Dog. Yay! I find myself repeating those words a lot lately...SIT SIT, CLICK CLICK, Good Dog, Down......Yaaaaaaay. Humans get such enjoyment out of the silliest things. Imagine THAT, a dog, SAT DOWN. Wow.

Now, frankly, I think the dogs are fine, but the woman seems a bit, well, limited if you know what I mean. Still, she brings me craps and nuts and thinks I'm very clever.

Sitting is such a strange concept. Birds don't do it. Now, tell the truth-did YOU ever think about that? No, not likely, because you are all human centric (and perhaps limited). But birds, fish and snakes NEVER sit. We higher order animals just aren't built for it. Bugs may or may not sit, but who cares? Not MR. BIRD MR. BIRD, Mr. Birdy Birdy BIIIIIIRRRRRRRD!

Actually, we don't lie down either. Is that why humans are so fascinated by animals who DO sit and lie down-because we can't?

Happy Animal Wednesday and enjoy your special talent-the ability to SIT.........HAW!

Updates on Three Amigos

This guy's fate is still up in the air-it's been a roller coaster ride for all concerned. My faith is unshakeable that he'll end up where he's safe, we just aren't sure where/how it's all going to come about.



This handsome young man is moving to his new stable to be closer to me. I can't wait!


This handsome young fellow is recovering nicely from his surgery.

Once upon a time

Nicko was born on Christmas day last year, and I loved him from the start. Who wouldn't love that face? But, I was getting Molly, she had just been born, and I decided against two puppies at once so close in age.


This weekend I got news that he ended up in a shelter in New Jersey. It's a long story but the breeder is working to get him out, along with several other people who are pitching in to help. If all goes well, he'll come to live with me, where he belongs I guess.

Even if he doesn't end up here, I think he'll be Ok because so many people are pulling for him.  But yeah, I hope he ends up here.
