Censorship

Did you see somebody ordered a cake for a graduate at Publix -- big supermarket chain in southeast -- and ordered Summa Cum Laude written on it. They wrote with frosting Summa - Laude and left out the word cum. What is wrong with these people. I never thought of the phrase in that way. And the chain also gave big bucks to a NRA booster running for governor and is now being boycotted. I hope the Parkland kids make sure he doesn't win. By the way, the guy wearing the If You Put My Meat in your Mouth you'll swallow" or something like that was in Publix. Strange times.

Orgy in the backyard

Well, we had something like seven males and three female ducks in the backyard screeching. And a couple of the males were fighting, I guess for the females. They would attack each other and we now have some feathers in the yard. And one male again almost fell over, seemingly satiated, after mounting one of the females. I'm have going to have to research the sex lives of ducks like on how long the females are in heat. The duck population will apparently continue to thrive in the pond that runs through our neighborhood.

Doggy tales

I've never had much first hand experience with having a dog in the house. Didn't have one growing up and when the kids were growing up, we got a cat, not a dog.

But about a year ago, my good girl saw the picture of a cute dog at a rescue shelter and decided to give her a home. She had been abandoned and was found in the streets and taken to a shelter. Well, the dog has been here since Christmas. When my good girl took a trip back home for 16 days, she left the dog here.

I was a bit apprehensive when she said the dog wa a pit mix, but she doesn't fit the pit bull stereotype. She's very friendly and loves to roll on her back and get belly rubs. I've been introduced to dog parks and to people who have dogs. One of them even had a birthday party for her two dogs at the park. She even had cupcakes with a milk bone on top. I was given one and my good girl's dog virtually inhaled it.

She quickly figured a way to get more. She went to the table where the cupcakes were and some of the people had them in their hands so she went up to them, sat quietly and looked up at them with a sad face and got a couple of people to feed her more. That's her. When we're in the kitchen she's right there hoping we give her something and drop something on the floor. We try not to feed her people food because we want her to keep eating doggy food but sometimes we relent. She whines at times when she wants somebody to play with her but when she is looking for our food, she just sits there and looks up at us with those sad eyes. She nows how to play us.

She's also like an alarm clock. She sleeps in a doggy bed in the bedroom and at about 730 she gets up and comes to the side of our bed and is just tall enough to put her head on the bed but never jumps on it. And she loves to swim at the doggy park.

I can now see how people get attached to dogs think they are members of the family. Right now, she is curled up on the couch next to me as I type. She often puts her head between my legs right in front of the computer. I have to admit that when she goes home with my good girl later this week, it will seem kind of strange when I return and she's not here.

If any of the bloggers have dogs, I think they will understand.

Can you believe this?

I was at the grocery store today and a burly guy had a T shirt saying something like, "When I put my meat in your mouth, you want to swallow.''

And he was with a nice looking woman and they had a kid with them. I was dying to say to her: Dlio you like that T shirt but I didn't. I did once see a woman in a car dealership wearing a steel collar and I asked her if she was submissive and she said yes.

What would you think if the guy in your life wore a T shirt like that in public? Would you think it would be appropriate or not?

Sex in the backyard

There was a sexy scene in my backyard this morning. I missed it because I was playing tennis but my good girl heard the ducks screeching in the backyard. There were near the lanai and don't usually get that close to the house from the pond. She went to look to see what wa going on and there were four ducks, three males and a female and they were mating. WOW group sex in the backyard. She said one of the males basically fell to his side after mounting the female. She didn't get her Iphone out until the four of them were eating the bird see in the backyard. And one of the males kept chasing the other two males away but they kept coming back. She captured that scene on the video. 

Anyway, sorry so long since I've updated my blog. Except for a 16 day trip back home, my good girl has been here since Christmas. But all good things seem to come to an end. She leaves Thursday for the two day trip home with her cute dog who is now curled up next to me on the couch as I type. I will drive with her going home and then fly back on the last day of the month.     

Want to say hello to all my blogger friends and give congrats to PK on new latest book. Will try to do a better job of saying in touch.

Morning kisses

I woke up around 6 am and came into the living room while the puppy remained in her doggy bed in the bedroom. She finally came ambling in around 730, jumped on the couch and started licking my face before curling up with her head on my lap. Then when i got up to start fixing breakfast, she rolled on her back on the floor looking for belly rubs. And then when I returned to the house to write this, she started licking my face again. She loves attention. Now she is back curled up with her head in my lap. She lives the good life.

I'm finally back

Sorry it has been so long since I posted but sometimes life gets in the way of me blogging.
If you read my good girl's blog poured out (on my blogroll), I had surgery on a artery in my neck that was 70 percent blocked in early January. Since she isn't working, she came to visit at Christmas and then stayed to help me recover. The operation was a success and I had an ultrasound today to make sure everything is going well. The techs aren't supposed to give you info but she said docs did a good job to I assume things are fine.
Unfortunately, in early February, I got the flu followed by a cold and then she caught it so we spent a lot of time under the weather. But it still such a treat to spend two months together. The problem is she had to return home to catch up on things and the longer she stayed here, the harder that was to do. She finally left two weeks ago and will return tomorrow. She left her puppy here with me.
That was a new experience because while my kids had a cat growing up, I had no experience dealing with a puppy. She is very sweet and needy but then maybe most dogs are. Right now, I'm writing this on the couch and she is curled up next to me. As long as I stay on the couch watching TV or on my computer, she stays. But the minute I get up, she usually does too. If I'm in the kitchen, she looks at me with sad eyes hoping I will give her some food. I don't do it too often because I want her to eat dog food but I will do it on occasion. She also likes to play tug of war and chase a ball I toss it.
We happen to live a couple of miles from a doggy park and she loves it playing with the other dogs and swimming in the pool they have. She won't jump into the deep end, though. She walks in the shallow end and then swims.
We had a mishap the other day driving home when she jumped out of the car. I freaked out. I think she may have seen the squirrel. Fortunately, she was OK except for wound on forehead. The vet said it was no big deal and gave me some ointment but I still had to call my good girl to tell her. That wasn't a fun call since she had said not to open the windows when the dog was in the car, But she understood, I think. LOL.
Meanwhile, I am playing tennis several times a week.
Also hope all the bloggers and doing well and enjoying the lifestyle and I will try to blog more often.
