Complete Exhaustion is good

I went to a Jewel concert last night. It was at a casino. I won 180 dollars while waiting for the concert. Concert was great. Went out after to a bar a did a little dancing. Came home, goofed around till 2 ish. Up at 8 and out by 9 and spent the day at the stables. Had a nice ride. Did I accomplish anything? I'm not sure, other than that I'm not so frozen inside. Maybe that has merit too.

I bet I sleep well tonight too.

Frozen Inside

I feel a bit frozen inside. I wonder when I will thaw?

What a Difference a Year Makes

This was Oliver the dog this time last year.



So much has happened, so much has changed. Life is like that.

HAW Ya'll

The woman keeps mentioning that my beak is "overgrown" and I think it's just fine.  Birds in the wild don't get trimmed....hmph.  But she keeps saying something about a trim and a "check up".....I'm not sure I like the sound of that at all.

I gave her a fright on Sunday-ooooooh it was funny.  I hid, and while she pretended not to be excited, I know she was.  She looked in all my favorite places and kept listening for the pitty patter of my birdy toes.  She even checked the cat to see if she was unusually fat.  Hahhhhhhhhaaahahahahahahaaaa. 

 I was sitting right in plain sight next to the VCR, not saying a thing.  I know now to keep very still so she can't locate me.  Oh, it was so much fun.  She was so glad to see me she didn't even scold me for shredding the directions to her new video game.

I DO like old familiar places, but I like to take a look at the room from new vantage points as well.  It's a good habit, don't you think?

Instead of my toilet paper roll, I got my peanuts in something called a cracker box.  wwwwwwoooooo-that was so  much fun to shred.  I shredded some immediately and then went back and shredded a little more....then a little more.  A guy like me needs a challenge every now and then.

Beam Me Up Scotty: No Pup Yet UPDATE

The original Pup, the one this one was in place of

Beam Me Up Scotty: No Pup Yet

became available.  Same thing happened with Moonie too.  If the picking order works out, I will take her and make it work, however it needs to work.  She is out of the litter I wanted, and is just what I visualized, and was the only solid red smoothie.  But several people ahead of me had a similar vision, so it didn't look like it was going to happen.  And it might NOT, but it might.

Essentially, it puts this pup one generation closer to Moon's great Grandmother, Pearl, who I adore.  The pups mother looks (except for being red) a lot, an awful lot, like Pearl.  The sire is Moon's sire, Sage.  I feel like Same/Sire, one step back on the family tree, I can pretty well predict this pup would be a ripper.

So, I really hope it is meant to be and my feeling of "wait" was just for this event.  I would have been truly heartbroken if I had brought home the other pup (who was nice too) and then my red smoothie girl became available, because there is no way I could manage two pups that close in age.

I'm excited, but not fearful.  I really think what is meant to be in this case will happen.   But she WOULD be the perfect dog to herd pairs with Moon.  So, yeah, I've crossed my fingers.

Snow and Ice-Everyone has an Opinion

An Uncactus

No cactus, but this bent tree and the cold landscape reminded me somehow of a cactus. Maybe I'm reaching a bit....maybe not.
