idle musings

It is not yet 8 o’clock on New Year’s Eve and I am contemplating going to bed. Although I am currently amused by Maia trying so hard to get Bosco to play with her that she stole his chewie right out of his mouth, wanting him to chase her, and all he did was lie [...]

There doesn’t appear to be an imbed code for this video but go to bbc.co.uk and watch this video about polar bears. It’s about two minutes long and it put a huge grin on my face.

Dad and I took Bosco and Maia up to the dyke today, to the loop. At the half-way point we met up with a lady with two whippets. They were so darling! And so fast! She told us that whippets are not allowed to be raced for money (thankfully) but she races them both for [...]

Mike and I decided to have a relaxing time this Christmas, so we ordered dinner from his catering company that does individual sized turkey dinners and we hung out with my two dogs and his ex-boyfriend’s Doberman that he is looking after for a few days.

It just cost me over $100 to change a headlight on my car. I expected the cost for the two bulbs and I was even ok with paying for someone else to install them, but of course something else had to be wrong. The part the bulb attaches to was melted and had to be [...]

I bought my final things for Secret Santa. This is what I am sending: There is a 16 squeaker dragon with santa hat, a fleece ball, a bully stick, a food toy, and a magnet that says I <3 My Labrador. I’m off to the post office now to send it!

I picked up ‘Stranger in a Strange Land’ by Robert A Heinlein last night and I can’t put it down. I had forgotten how much I enjoy his books! I haven’t read one in ages and I never read this classic. When I took the dogs for their walk today I checked the sky, decided [...]
