Hot Dog!@

I spoke too soon. It's still hot as a grill out here on the West Coast. I think it's the humidity that is curling my fur. Mocha has been gobbling ice chips, while I've been gulping iced coffee. Yum!

Hope you're staying cool.

Ozsome, it's not triple digit weather today!

I am a happy dog! So happy, I thought I'd share a little ozsome summer mini painting.

I can't believe I'm excited it's only 83ºF today. Lol. That used to be sweltering to this little pooch. But after three weeks of blistering heat and humidity--I'm a happy doggie!

Sad but Happy News?

In sad news, Tata has passed away at the age of 59. But, to live that long is pretty neat for a Crow! Tata may have not been able to fly, but he sounds like he had other gifts to bestow over the years.

I've known a few Crows and they are quite friendly. I used to have a little buddy who liked whole peanuts in their shell. He'd toss the shells down the roof and they'd slide into our yard. Kind of a game between him and I. Although a little timid at first, he introduced himself as Sir Wilbur one day when I was strolling near. And so it began.

We played the peanut game every couple of days for about three years on and off. Then, on a Tuesday in November 2004, he said he needed to stretch his wings.

It's been awhile Sir Wilbur. I miss fetching the peanut shells from the garden.

So, here's to Tata, Thank-you for reminding me of my dear old friend.

Vroom Vroom!

What could be better than herding sheep via a car? Why, herding sheep via a doggie modified Alfa "Arf" Romeo Touring Spyder Car circa 1938!

My Doggie "Peace" of the Week!

And here I thought today was just another do da day! Nope, not in the least. I got to go for a very enjoyable car ride in a spiffy black convertible (circa 1950 something!) and I had a wonderful time with the wind whipping through my freshly washed fur!

But the best part was an unusual observance that occurred late in the ride (after a little stop for mmm mmm coffee!).

Being the literary dog I am, I enjoy reading the bumper stickers on cars. So, I read the above bumper sticker, "Let Peace Begin With Me," on a small silver Honda in front of us at a red light. Then, the light turns and up at the next light (which has a left turn onto the highway), a truck cuts from on the right of us and then behind the Honda and into the left turn to the highway on ramp.

Well, no biggie, right? Wrong! In a split second, before I can lick my chops (which tasted a lot like $3.49/gal gas), I saw the Honda dude roll down his driver side window and...well, he made a universal bird gesture.

Oh my! I'm wondering now... Is that what he meant by "Peace begins with me"? Made me laugh so hard, I almost swallowed another bee. And so, if you happen to catch a glimpse of Mr Honda guy with the Peace bumper sticker, take heed and drive with caution.

Maybe I'm now an official "bird watcher", ya think?

Animal News!

Some interesting animal news that caught my eye:

A Rottweiler Dog "barked" 911 for owner in Washington. Now, that dog brings true meaning to her name!

In Florida, a darling Beagle Dog named Belle helped her owner get help with 911. My kind of hero! Way to go Belle (her photo is above)!

Sadly, the oldest living tortoise, Harriet , died. The good news? She lived to be a ripe old age of 176! Oh, to be so lucky! Can you imagine what she saw in her lifetime?

Ok, so have you got any animal news you'd like to share? Drop me a bark mail.

The Whimsical Briard Dog

Have you ever seen a dog who loves coffee (or in this case, expresso)? Well, let me just say that my pal Jazz, a Briard, loves expresso and boy-oh-boy! His tail goes whiz bang back and forth like a wind-up toy! It's amazing!

So, all this hyper doggie tail business made me wonder if maybe dogs could fly. Say, I got a hold of a couple bags of fresh roasted butterscotch expresso (the smell makes my nose go bonkers--it's so delicious!). Then, and this is just hypothetical, say I got my hand on a coffee grinder and a coffee maker (Why isn't it Mrs. Coffee, huh? We know who fixes the best cups!) and then made a few dozen cups of hot brewed java.

Ya think my tail would cause enough of an upwind to propel me like a helicopter?

Well, a dog can dream.

June 6, 2006 or 06-06-06

Well, I've sure heard a lot about today. The date. The Omen Remake. Blah blah blah. I only wish I could pick up a nifty shirt in doggie size with the date written in white on a black background. Pretty cool.

Ah, but the catch is that very few are even mentioning the real significance of the date 6-6-06. I did hear a brief discussion on some news station, but the emphasis is on brief.

Today marks the anniversary of D-Day. June 6th, 1944 is the day the Battle of Normandy began during WW11.

So, as much as the media would like us to believe that today is about some unnecessary remake of a classic horror flick ( Oh, don't get me started on remakes!) because Hollywood would rather remake a classic than pay a writer for an actual original screenplay...

I'd much rather honor the anniversary of D-Day and all the lives lost so a doggie like me can be free and be proud to be an American. Thank-you to those who fought, to those who fight, and to those who we'll never forget.

God Bless America!
