WFUBCC #231 - Dog Days of Summer


Recommended Posts

Charlie, that's very, very sad news.  Losing a child is awful.  I can't imagine how people get through it. :(

Miss Caroline, I hope yor had a lovely birthday. :blowcandle

Kathy, Niagara Falls!   I love Niagara Falls!!!!  And the movie (longest walking away scene in film history).  And the Three Stooges bit.  (slowly I turned... step by step.....) I've been at least three times.  I've stayed on both sides. (There are TimBits on the Canadian side. :chow )  And, of course, the Maid of the Mist. ca1a20_156dfa03a0e04a9cad9496bee793b472~

I wonder were Ducky's habitats are now.  Don't they know lives are at stake!!! :ohno

:coffee      Cool 10C.  Might see the sun.

:(     Run Free Frankie

:confetti   Andi

Should be decent weather for your visit to Niagara Falls. Have fun!

Kibo & Joshi are enjoying the new stuffies although Joshi is very greedy. 

I’m alarming to ride Patty, then head to the Shack.  Yesterday was very windy and the waves on the lake were huge. One of our Guests boats got swamped and started to sink.  It took a lot of pumping and several people to keep it afloat.  

Also have Chiro late this aft :)

Kathy enjoy Niagara Falls - that is where Dan grew up! In fact, when you are looking at the American Falls across the river you will see a small separate falls on the right called The Bridal Falls. We were standing on the Canadian side looking at the Bridal Falls when Dan and I got engaged! 

Thanks for all the compliments! You guys make me blush!!

Molly slept pretty much all day yesterday recovering from her nine days of run, run, running and tug, tug, tugging with her new bestie Avery! She has so much fun at the dog sitters house.

Lader I hadda go in the wire boks cause Mistress and BFF went to their collidge for a walkin toor of sacred art and artatekchoor. It was done by a art professor/priest who is the most innerstin and engagin speeker ever. You can tell he juss loves what he’s talkin bout and loves to share it. Alla peeple agreed they’d lissen to him talk bout anythin. It was supposed to be 45 minit walk then refreshmits and conversayshun. 40 minits in and they were still at the first stop. :lol: Then the refreshmint was fancee ice creem calt geeloto. Mistress didn’t save any of that for me.

 Happy Gotcha Andipants! :balloonparty Didja get a sammitch or sumthin?

We hab lubly mild weather again today. Auntie Ann had fasting labs today and missed the gym class.  Ma's still knot doing the gym class until her back is all better butt she does hab lots ob exercises she can do so she went to the gym and did those. She was pleased that she filled an hour wif good hard werk.

Quick checkin from the Shore. It was chilly with the wind yesterday but still sunny and gorgeous and I saw dolphins frisking by--first time for me in these waters!  Sunny again today and for the rest of our week.
 

We will wander up town soon, window shop, have lunch somewhere, and play the ever popular what-hymn-is-the-church-across-the-lake-playing-on-the-carillon-now game. 

How terrible to lose someone that young.

Miss Patsy it sounds like you're having a nice time!!  :thumbs-up 

Miss Wiki, do you like riding in your new car yet??  That forresty walk always sounds like a lotta fun!!  Crakk that whip, Miss Jerilyn!!  :kickbuttSorry about the wire box again, but you did get most of a hamberger outta it!!  Momma said the Subway we hadded, like, 10 days ago was for my Gotcha Day, but somehow I do NOT beleeve her.  <_<  

Mam, we hope you have an UN-alarming ride on Miss Patty Horsie!!  :eek  

Have fun at Niagra Falls Miss Kathy!!  :yay

I lubs the noo car! :wub: This was only my second time in it, my Mistress is kinda fanatical bout keepin it nice and apparently that means no dog spit. <_< I got a noo hammock to go in it and it’s reelly great too! The lass one was pritty hammocky and not reel stabil so I had a hard time gettin down and up. This one is more flatter I guess and I lay down rite away. I didn’t even wanna get out when we got home. Mistress likes it when I lay down cause then my spit don’t go on the console or the winders.

FancyToo, humans try butt they sometimes just aren't a sensitive to fings as us houndies are.  I'm really glad you had ann day for 2 days at home wif your Mom! :yay

AndiPants, Ma's much better butt she 1) decided wif the nurse at her doctor's office knot to do the regular Mon-Wed classes until there is knot eben a twinge in her back and there is still a twinge and 2) she's to see a chiropractor for the first time tomorrow and she thought she'd see what that doctor has to say.  She's real happy that from werking wif the trainer she is comfy around the well equipped gym and has no trouble filling an hour wif challenging things to do.

Poor Miss Chris!  Her garden looted by pestilentials! 
Ma noticed when she mowed that the hosta had been chewed to a nub.  That's neber happened before. :angry:  Oooh, Miss Chris' hibiscuits, Rose ob Sharon, and even her chives are blooming beautifully!  Owr chives bloom is purkle balls.  Does Miss Chris know what kinda chives those are?

at leest I wype my own bum wen I go to the toilet     Zavvi, that is :rotfl   What good boys we are. :evil

Wiki, I'm real glad you and Mistress bof like the New Black Car.

We're finally getting some sound proofing in our stupid cube walls. my co irker and I face each other so we talk straight to each others faces even though we have cube wall between us. I really hope hope it will make a difference. Or, you know ,they could rearrange the desks so we're facing AWAY from each other. Seems like that would be easier. :angryfire

Jen, your suggestion makes sense but often until management thinks they've come up with the idea, repositioning of the desks probably will remain as is.

This morning brought me yet another dead cicada, in my bedroom, right where I'd put my feet down getting out of bed. Luckily I wasn't napping then.

You guys have so much to do in your towns!  We got nothin' here other than watchin cattypillars eat, poop, and escape. But the enclosure habitats came today! I put a photo of them over in my Redneck Condo post. I still have more shifting around to do and dismantling the dog crate condo.

The Utah butterfly guy, Todd, emailed asking if we could chat on the phone. It was gonna be today but has been postponed until tomorrow because he had to prepare a lecture on overwintering chrsalysissess. I'm imaging an audience composed of butterflies.  :P  I shall await his call with bait  bate  parsley on my breff!

We had a great visit to Niagara Falls today!   So much water and so much power from the falls!  It was really worth getting slightly wet, sailing into the mist and hearing the sound close up!

Gino, Cherry and Ivy ALWAYS celebrate our return from errands!  Lots of zoomies and barking and pandemonium!

Tomorrow we head to the airport for our flight home!

:coffee Good morning!

Charlie, your Momma Bear will appreciate snuggling with you even more when she gets home from work!

I just have to put all our overnight stuff in our luggage and we will be ready to go.  I’m looking forward to being home- hopefully it will help Jim settle down into a routine again.

We will pick up our girls tomorrow! :yay 

Kathy.

Parsley is very high in Vitamin C so chomp away!  How exciting to have gotten the notice of an expert in the field.  Maybe he'll mention you in his lectures. Of course, when he talks about ducks and caterpillars it might get confusing for some people when them think you're raising them for snacks. :wacko:

Kathy, didn't you love Maid of the Mist?  I've done it a couple of times and it's always thrilling.  Technology and society may change but the beauty and force of nature are so compelling.  And, did you remember to get TimBits?? :chow

Today is Crossroads Day. And, one week from today, I'll wake up at Camp.  One night in the woods with no TV or internet (or running water). I'm really hoping to hear the loons call. (Speaking of the timeless beauty of nature.)

Nancy, I think it's smart to go back to the Inn to get your work done.  No need to give it away for free.
