Torn about this. Hate DST, but better to be different than neighbors? RT @bountifulnews Bill to finish daylight saving. http://t.co/7ZCprx7A

I'm A Sucker

Hannah donated her services to helping her sister's cat deliver a litter of kittens on memorial day. We were, in return, offered first pick of the litter. How do you turn down fluffy fuzz balls? Now we have a new cat at the house a tabby named TigerLilly, or Lilly for short. Athough I'm not a big fan of little claws and lots of meeowing, It make me happy to see my girls so thrilled to have a new friend around the house.

Five Year Old At Heart

I wish I could say that after almost 32 years I would have overcome the childhood hangup of wanting to bring home and keep stray dogs. It appears however I can't say that. The dog pictured here is Harley, a yellow lab mix that seemed to be the model for "Doug the Dog" from "Up" - right down to the bushy tail.

When the big dog invited himself into the yard, we checked his collar and found that all but the registration tag had snapped off. We decided the best course was to walk around the neighborhood with him, trying to find someone who was trying to find a Dog. We didn't have success, in fact all I succeeded in doing was realize what a well behaved and even tempered dog we had found and convince Emma that the dog really wanted to stay with us.

Since our walk was fruitless we called animal control and tracked down the owners (who were away for the day.) We told them we would keep Harley safe until they picked him up. Harley enjoyed the afternoon in the shade of the backyard, Emma enjoyed cuddling the enormous furrball, and I enjoyed the brief fantasy that I had a great dog.

Goodbye Geo

Do not stand at my grave and weep.
I am not there, I do not sleep.
I am a thousand winds that blow,
I am the diamond glints on snow.
I am the sunlight on ripened grain.
I am the gentle autumn's rain.

When you awaken in the morning's hush
I am the swift uplifting rush of birds in flight.
I am the stars that shine at night.
Do not stand at my grave and cry,
I am not there, I did not die.

What a great dog!

I realized the other day that I hadn't announced that I have a new dog. I've had Cash for four months now, Hannah gave him to me as a surprise when some folks couldn't keep him. He's a great dog - hopefully you'll meet him sometime.

Fuzzy Friend

I'm at home stuck in bed. It's kinda lonely but my cat's still my bud and that's not such a bad thing.
