So Jennyway

I put The Red Menace back in the box. I admit defeat.

This one came from the thrift store (of course), but in a Ziploc bag! No box! And it's a map puzzle!!! Hooray!

Also, I forgot to tell you that there were zebras.

Seriously, ostriches.

Look at them! Doesn't seem possible, does it.

Ostriches

I got a nice picture of one of the ostrich races. They also raced zebras and had children chase emus and chickens. The chicken race took WAY more time than any other race, even though they started maybe fifteen feet from the finish line. Hysterical.

Just for Tracy

I'm not sure if he's supposed to be inspiring drivers to slow down through Virginia City or just creep them out, but he succeeds at both.

Camels

Went to the camel races yesterday with Sparky. It was pretty hot and my shoulders got cooked again, even though we sprayed me in what must be some very old 50 spf sunscreen. I have never been to the camel races before- it was very silly and lots of fun. I got to skritch one camel's neck, and from the way he or she was stretching out their neck and almost yawning, they were either about to tap their leg or bite my fingers off. There was no attempt to whip their head towards me, so I hope it was good. The ostriches were so neat. I loved watching them.

My soft little fluffy cloud

Poor little princess has been splattering unhappy poos all over my goddamn apartment for the past few days. (Well Marty, you did say you were tired of reading about cat vomit.)

Did I tell you guys about how Sparky taught me to dance to old rock songs under the stars in his backyard between sips of beer as we waited for his super secret chicken recipe to cook on the grill? That was a really lovely night. I have decided that the length of work weeks and weekends will be switched, effective immediately.

Tomorrow should be fun, and I may take some pictures with my new phone that hasn't been bounced across several concrete floors yet. I don't know what it is about parking garages, but I do love to throw a phone there. Note that I haven't told you where I'm going. That's in case plans (or unhappy poos) hit the fan between now and then. (It did look like shit actually hit the fan in here, but thankfully Nature's Miracle is exactly that.)

I'm going to brush the rest of my fluffy cloud girl and get my ass to bed so I can go have fun tomorrow. Goodnight.

Happy Almost Wednesday

Almost 14 years, and this dog has never once had matted fur... until two weeks in the cone of shame. I didn't dare take it off until it was time for it to go for good, because I didn't want to see her severely disappointed expression when I put it back on her. The vet said she is healing very well, and can have a bath now.

Sparky and I went to the duck race on Sunday, and I need to post a blog about that for you, but I am finally ready for bed at bedtime for once, so off I go.
