"Happy the man, and happy he alone, He who can call today his own; He who secure within can say: Tomorrow do thy worst, for I have lived today." -- Horace
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

How many dogs does it take to change a light bulb?"

Golden Retriever: The sun is shining, the day is young, we have our whole lives ahead of us, and you're inside worrying about a stupid burned out bulb?

Border Collie: Just one. And then I'll replace any wiring that's not up to code.

Dachshund: You know I can't reach that stupid lamp!

Rottweiler: Make me.

Boxer: Who cares? I can still play with my squeaky toys in the dark.

Lab: Oh, me, me!!!!! Pleeeeeeeeeze let me change the light bulb! Can I? Can I? Huh? Huh? Huh? Can I? Pleeeeeeeeeze, please, please, please!

German Shepherd: I'll change it as soon as I lead these people from the dark, check to make sure I don't miss any, and make just one more perimeter patrol to see that no one takes advantage of the situation.

Jack Russell Terrier: I'll just pop it in while I'm bouncing off the walls and furniture.

Old English Sheep Dog: Light bulb? I'm sorry, but I don't see a light bulb!

Cocker Spaniel: Why change it? I can still pee on the carpet in the dark.

Chihuahua: Yo quiero Taco Bulb.

Pointer: I see it, there it is, there it is, right there.....

Greyhound: It isn't moving. Who cares?

Australian Shepherd: First, I'll put all the light bulbs in a little circle...

Poodle: I'll just blow in the Border Collie's ear and he'll do it. By the time he finishes rewiring the house, my nails will be dry.

Cat:"Dogs do not change light bulbs. People change light bulbs. So, the real question is: How long will it be before I can expect some light, some dinner, and a massage?"

All of which proves, once again, that while dogs have masters, cats have staff.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Dear Dogs and Cats,

The dishes with the paw print are yours and contain your food. The other dishes are mine and contain my food. Please note, placing a paw print in the middle of my plate of food does not stake a claim for it becoming your food and dish, nor do I find that aesthetically pleasing in the slightest.

The stairway was not designed by NASCAR and is not a racetrack. Beating me to the bottom is not the object. Tripping me doesn't help because I fall faster than you can run.

I cannot buy anything bigger than a king sized bed. I am very sorry about this. Do not think I will continue sleeping on the couch to ensure your comfort. Dogs and cats can actually curl up in a ball when they sleep. It is not necessary to sleep perpendicular to each other stretched out to the fullest extent possible. I also know that sticking tails straight out and having tongues hanging out the other end to maximize space is nothing but sarcasm.

For the last time, there is not a secret exit from the bathroom. If by some miracle I beat you there and manage to get the door shut, it is not necessary to claw, whine, meow, try to turn the knob or get your paw under the edge and try to pull the door open. I must exit through the same door I entered. Also, I have been using the bathroom for years - canine or feline attendance is not mandatory.

The proper order is kiss me, then go smell the other dog or cat's butt. I cannot stress this enough!

To pacify you, my dear pets, I have posted the following message on our front door:

Rules for Non-Pet Owners Who Visit and Like to Complain About Our Pets:

1. They live here. You don't.

2. If you don't want their hair on your clothes, stay off the furniture (That's why they call it "fur"niture.)

3. I like my pets a lot better than most people.

4. To you, it's an animal. To me, he/she is an adopted son/daughter who is short, hairy, walks on all fours and doesn't speak clearly.

Dogs and cats are better than kids .they eat less, don't ask for money all the time, are easier to train, usually come when called, never drive your car, don't hang out with drug-using friends, don't smoke or drink, don't worry about having to buy the latest fashions, don't wear your clothes, and don't need a gazillion dollars for college - and if they get pregnant, you can sell their children.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

A dog thinks, "Hey, these people I live with feed me, love me, provide me with a nice warm, dry house, pet me, and take good care of me. They must be Gods!"

A cat thinks, "Hey, these people I live with feed me, love me, provide me with a nice warm, dry house, pet me, and take good care of me. I must be a God!"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

1. The later you are, the more excited your dogs are to see you.

2. Dogs don't notice if you call them by another dog's name.

3. Dogs like it if you leave a lot of things on the floor.

4. A dog's parents never visit.

5. Dogs agree that you have to raise your voice to get your point across.

6. You never have to wait for a dog; they're ready to go 24 hours a day.

7. Dogs find you amusing when you're drunk.

8. Dogs like to go hunting and fishing.

9. A dog will not wake you up at night to ask, If I died, would you get another dog??

10. If a dog has babies, you can put an ad in the paper and give them away.

11. A dog will let you put a studded collar on it without calling you a pervert.

12. If a dog smells another dog on you, they don't get mad. They just think it's interesting..

13. Dogs like to ride in the back of a pickup truck.

And last, but not least:

14. If a dog leaves, it won't take half of your stuff.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


An old, tired-looking dog wandered into the yard. I could tell from his collar and well-fed belly that he had a home.

He followed me into the house, down the hall, and fell asleep on the couch. An hour later, he went to the door, and I let him out. The next day he was back, resumed his position on the couch and slept for an hour. This continued for several weeks. Curious, I pinned a note to his collar: "Every afternoon your dog comes to my house for a nap."

The next day he arrived with a different note pinned to his collar: "He lives in a home with four children -- he's trying to catch up on his sleep. Can I come with him tomorrow?"

Good morning everyboomie.  wave

Come into my lair and listen to a lier lament about loves lost while longingly looking for leaping lizards that lose latitude while lapping lemon juice and lustily leering at the limp lawn lackeys. 

Lordy!!!!!!  shocked

That should at least raise a quizzical smile, eh?  wink

Don't ask for a translation.  shame

At least I didn't bring up the lordly lions.  rolleyes

That and the jokes should about do it then?  thumbsup

Good!  yes

If I was able to put a smile on your face, that's good enough for me. woot

Then you should all have a happy day.

Joe, funny dog jokes.

Ana, what a fun day you have planned.

Morning Haroula.

Cailyn, we got plenty of snow and high winds and being our lovely New England weather it's going to be going up to 60 degrees by Sunday. Coffee is most welcome this morning.

Venus, enjoy your work today.

Gerry, glad your power stayed on.

Good morning Boomies.

What an absolutely beautiful day. Going up to 70. That means grill out day. yay

I am doing my usual Friday laundry and only 2 loads today. Woo hoo. We took Cory for his walk this morning and now he is looking out the storm door. If we don't open it, he sits there and woofs till we do. At least when it is 45 or above.

So, I think I need to get my back ribs out of the freezer then maybe sneak in a game or two while I am waiting for laundry.

Wishing everyone a most wonderful day.

Morning guys, up sorta, but definitely not myself. I'm sure "up" won't last long. I have a couple of routine doctor (dentist, eye doc) next week but I have a feeling those will get cancelled. I wouldn't want to be working in my eyes or mouth right now if I were them.

Boys got here yesterday, but son is taking care of them so I'm just chilling and inhaling coffee trying to feel better.

Joe, love the dog and especially cat jokes! Always gets me going and not hating my kitties so much. I forget that they own my house and allow me to live here.

Rained. Wheeeeee. Maybe all my trees won't die. They are looking so icky. Need more rain. Weatherman promises tomorrow will be heavy rain. Crossing fingers. Heavy rain here means it comes down steadily for about 5 minutes. No biggie, but we sure need it. Either that or I cement in my entire property and only allow cactus to grow here.

So far no more throwing up from Bubba the indoorsie cat. Whew. Never again will I feed him anything with high salt content. I remembered too late that when he was about a year old he got very ill and as I took him to the vet thinking he was dying, the vet said, what did you feed him? I replied, lunch meat. To which I was was strongly warned no more heavy salt, sodium stuff, and sent home with 'tummy pills' for him. Was just an upset tummy so it seems. I guess I forgot and spent a load of time last evening cleaning up after his explosive upchucks. Yuk.

So far no more outbursts from tenant about the rent. Hope she didn't call in the 'troops' and that we all are calm and cool. Really makes me feel bad when I have to raise rents just to pay the extra expenses like taxes, sidewalk fee, water rate hikes. I am doing all I can to conserve, cutting down on my water use, low wattage lights all over, changed my car insurance so I only have liability now which saved me half of what I was paying, changed phone companies to save some bucks, no vacations, no extra eating out, using coupons for food, buying clothes at the thrift stores. Oh well. I have a roof over my head, they do too at bargain rates for this area and it will all work out. Life is STILL good.

Stay safe and warm and happy out there in Gamboomers land everyone.

So....I was lazy and unmotivated this morning. I stayed in bed and skipped my Zumba class. I think the time change, cooler weather etc is getting me out of sync. I want my old self back! If you see her please return her home, I miss her.

I am getting ready to go out to lunch and play Top Golf with the kids. Maybe the fresh air and activity will help.

L4L, so sorry you are ill. Big Hugs!

Still rainy but sunny with white puffy clouds directly over me. Lovey pretty stuff. A bit windy and my 3 new 'ficus' bush/trees that I am 'trying' out to replace a hedge that shelters my porch swing from the street view, keep falling over. Ugh. Just had to put some stakes in the ground, bungie them to those and hope they hold. I'm not planting them until I see if they can handle the sun and wind out there. Pretty twisted stems and bushy dark green leaves. Nice, but eventually I might have to drive way out of town to a big nursery and find some REAL hedge plants. None close to me at all. Been to 4 places already. Looks like all my hedge along the front porch has reached the end of it's life cycle. Been in there I think since 1944 when the house was built. Each year one of the 'stalks' dies off. This year, it's looking like maybe they will all go. Only 5 left of the 12 originals. I didn't know plants had a 'lifespan'.

Just a fast hi in the late afternoon...here on the West coast anyway. Been putting together three Christmas boxes for needy kids in Guam. It's been fun. Will take them to be dropped off tomorrow. Rain and more rain here and very cold, at least for us...I always think it is cold when it dips below 50*. Feel better L4L. Ana, hope you had fun golfing. Happy Gaming to everyone!! wave

Life is like a hot bath. It feels good while you’re in it, but the longer you stay in, the more wrinkled you get.

Night all. Been doing alot of packing and errands, changing my address, looking for a sofa as the one I've been sitting on is my landlady's and I hate it. Back home and packing some more. It's just so overwhelming. I wish it was all over. Soon. Sorry for complaining. You must be so sick of me complaining. sad

L4L i hope you're feeling better.

See you in the morning.

Midgie hearts sleep


Just do it.
