Miss O!C Nancy has a bicycle! I like bicycles, rode mine all around everywhere. Glad you can ride without any discomfort -- must be the horsee riding muscles, eh? All the storms missed us yesterday, we shall see if tonight's round does too. The online forecast doesn't mention anything severe, just a couple rounds of heavy rain. Miss Nancy Burgh, I'm glad your visit was productive. though I'm sure you'll be glad to be home. Little Ivy PrettyEars, I'm sorry to learn that 2 of your playgroop houndies have da ebil *C*. It's hard to lose friends.

FancyToo, I'm glad you are feeling better, sweetheart. And you got to go walkies with Daddyman! Licks and nose kisses . . . . Thanks for thinking of me, Bitzi. The nasty weather just evaporated around us. There were tornadoes to the north and tornadoes to the south. We didn't even get any rain. Weather folks say its over for tonight. Tomorrow night another system is supposed to come through, hope it does the same thing!

Oh, Ducky, I'm so sorry that little Rita is gone. She knew she was loved and had her best life with you. It's nice to hear that siblings are getting together and spending quality time. I don't have siblings, but I miss my cousins. Cousins are your first friends and your forever friends. Miss Sherrie, I hope your surgery goes well. Tiller is such a good nurse and will make you feel better. The temperature is going up this afternoon, so we are thinking that the storms will be brewing tonight. I piddled around the house doing little things, ignoring the mountain of laundry. Hope I'm able to get started on it tomorrow. Hope everyone has a good afternoon and evening.

for Rita and for FancyToo. Lupin, you were maybe right to warn! Why, that could have been a chupacabra sneaking in to get your mama!!!!! We had a nice spring day yesterday and a good time at the philosophy discussion. However, our pizza procurer decided to go to a different restaurant, and I didn't care for their version. I still like Pizza Hut best. It started in my state, and I will always like it! Weather report: Today's forecast: cloudy, cold, and rainy Tomorrow's forecast: cloudy, cold, and stormy Friday's forecast: Cloudy, warmer, and more stormy Saturday's forecast: Cloudy, 80 degrees, and even more stormy through to Sunday morning. Weatherman says to expect maybe 4" of rain overall. Next week should be better, though they say it might rain again Wednesday. April showers, ya know! I'm going to try running some errands if I can dodge the rainy-rains. Then I might just find a blankie and a glass of sweet tea and read my book. Hope everyone has a good day.

FancyToo, I'm so glad the culprit is a tick and not da ebil C. Hope the doxy and pain meds make you feel better riteawayqwik! Ivy, you look mahvellous in the pinky-lilacky colored collar. Miss Elizabeth and Miss Vanessa, I had migraines that were awful until menopause hit and then they all went 'poof' and I haven't had one since. Just one more reason to love 'the change'.

: The one I'm reading now is Flight Behavior. I just started but so far it's good. I LOVED Demon Copperhead. It's a very good read; Appalachian and Dickensian at the same time. HAPPY BURFDAY, LUPIN! Baknforfnbaknforfnbaknforf for FancyToo. Angus, what a fantastic time you had at GIG! So much fun! AndiPants, thanks for the lovely pictures. Tomato blooms already!! Wow. Your outdoor area looks very comfortable. You and Flizzie look comfortable, too! Lupin, what a wonderful weekend of adventures you had. I love the video of you trot-trot-trotting along the beach! Oh My Dog! Lacifer fell into a black hole! Oooh, pretty collars for Angie and Kiva. Well I need to run some errands. I'm out of postage stamps and almost out of gas in the car. Both are kind of important. Wish the Post Office had a drive-through window instead of steps and a broken elevator. ::sigh::

Glad everyone is home safe and had a good time. Miss Ducky, I love the headband! FancyToo, we will be baknforfing and keeping for you to be okay, precious girl. for Dr. Fruutkake. Still cold here, frost warnings, blah, blah, etc., etc. Then storms over the weekend. ::sigh:: I have yoga today and can't wait to get back to my Barbara Kingsolver book. I did manage to remember to water the houseplants today. Maybe I should make that a Monday morning thing so I don't forget? Later PS: Chag Sameach!

Glad to hear that everyone had a good time at GIG. Also glad that Nori was found and is OK. Nice llama, Ivy! I would snuggle with that myownself. I have a peenk pupper and a peenk piggie that I can sleep with when the weather is cold. Speaking of cold, we are still in the 50s during the day and had frost/freeze warnings last night. Supposed to warm up a little bit this week I think. Going back to my book Flight Behavior by Barbara Kingsolver.

Great pictures from GIG. Thanks for posting. Glad that Nori has been found and thanks, Miss Ducky, for helping the searchers. On this side of the windows it looks like spring. On the other side of the windows, it feels like not-spring! I'm going to find a blankie and take a nap. Later!

Happy Birthday all around to everybody and everyhoundie who is celebrating!!! Wonderful pictures of GIG, all the houndies are so beautimous and the hoomans are beautimous too! I am waiting for the lawn guy who said he would be here today. He's already 2 weeks late with the weakest excuse ever. The neighbors are starting to come by, asking about my tall grass. Mowing seems to be something that's hard to get done these days. Oh! Oh! Oh! Update! Update! The lawn guy just pulled up and unloaded the mowers. I'm soooo happy! I take back all the bad things I've been thinking and saying today!!- My cousin sent me a present -- it's a tri-fold package of sticky notes with alpacas on them. Very sweet, she knows I love alpackers. If you Google "Jot Sticky Notes alpacas" you will see it.

Rainy rainz and stormy stormz coming through the area this morning. So far nothing too bad here at the moment. As predicted!!! Boston Dynamics announces the New Atlas! Not as friendly as the old Atlas and not as graceful, more like Terminator meets C-3PO. Safe journey to everyone going to GIG!

Miss Ducky, Wonder Dust wound care is a very good thing. We used it a lot on the horses who banged themselves up and got tangled in fences all the time. It worked for owies on the dogs and cats, too.

Miss O!C Nancy, Boston Dynamics is an American engineering and design company founded in 1992 as a spin-off from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. It's based in Waltham, Massachusetts, owned by Hyundai Motor Group since 2021. They build robots to work in manufacturing and exploration as well as human services. 'Well-known models are BigDog, Spot, Atlas. and Handle. Atlas is a bipedal humanoid robot developed with funding from the U.S. Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency for a variety of search and rescue tasks. Atlas was unveiled to the public in 2013. Speculation is that Atlas has reached its maximum usability and is being shelved to move on from hydraulics to a more independent mobility. .

Miss Chris and Miss Lucy, you have some nice plants to start out the season. The snapdragons are so pretty, and all those beans and peas and 'maters sound so good. Miss Jerilyn, the wind just kicked up here to about 25mph. that no trees or limbs come down. We might get storms later this afternoon if the sun comes out but most likely they will be in central Missouri to our east. There were t-storms and a couple of tornadoes to our west this morning -- we just had some soft rain. Hope t!here is no damage in your area this evening. The yard man called today -- he says he has some openings that he can squeeze me in. **??!!! The last thing I said to him when he trimmed the mulberry tree last fall was "I'll see you in the spring when it's time to mow." Hmpfh!! A little sadness here -- got this notification from Boston Dynamics this morning. I loved Atlas.

Little Ivy Prettyears is going to GIG!! I think everyone will enjoy that very much. Hope Miss Carol Ann is having fun at Animal Kingdom.

Hello, Everybody and Everyhoundie! I am finally all caught up on reading posts. So many adventures and happenings. Thanks for the new club, AndiPants. Also thanks to Miss Jenn for the yummy snax! I have been attacked by the Sleepy Blue Meanies. This happens occasionally and then goes away. They make me take naps in the morning and in the afternoon, then make me go to bed early. I'm not very good company when they're here. I'm glad Pap got a room, and Miss Kerry found Unca Nik, and Miss Kathy and Misser Jim are home with their girls. Wishing Miss RE Carol will find the little battie. Charlie and Zorro, your visitor is a very big boi! Miss Chris has plantings to do. I'm thinking of putting out some tomato plants in containers this year. We'll see. The weather was nice today, in the low 80s. That's record-breaking for this time of year. I think I'll have a little supper and watch The Weakest Link (it's still not the same without Anne Robinson), then go to bed. Have a good evening!

Oh, I like Dropkick Murphys. Shipping Up To Boston is my fave song of theirs.

I was so busy watching Annie's beautiful run that I didn't notice the horses!

Beautiful picture. Run fast and free, Georgie Girl.

Hada knew she was loved. Thank you for taking good care of her.

Second video: "I'm so happy I just have to BITE something!!!!"

Lucy!! Please share -- who makes that reading chair? It looks like what I've been searching for! Thanks . . .

Great pictures; big, handsome Houndie! I'd never thought of it before, but the third picture makes me wonder if Greys have an extra joint in their legs that other dogs don't.

Oh, that face! Those soulful eyes! Who could deny her anything?
