Luka

I have not seen Luka in 2 years! I've been busy the last few times she's needed a sitter. Occasionally I will look at Rover to see if any pets have had a different sitter and although I've been busy, it makes me sad. I found out a few months ago that Chico's dad got another dog. There are no pics but she's a 6 year old teacup Chihuahua named Tina. I thought he would have told me but there's no reason to I guess, they've moved on.

Anyway, back to Luka. It took him a day to get acquainted with me again. He's all shaved and looks different for being a Pomeranian, but he's still just as adorable and funny.


He's supposed to get one Greenie in the morning and ONE chicken strip in the afternoon. Do you know how many chicken strips I have doled out? Many. He doesn't like Greenies apparently, or that's what he's telling me. His little trick is to ask to go out, then he knows he gets a treat and Granny Kden obliges (most of the time). Next weekend I'll be at another place, then back here mid March, so I'll get a double dose of Luka!

You can't tell from this pic, but I am growing my hair out. I've had relatively the same style for over 30 years. I do like short and the ease of taking care of it but I guess I just want a change. It's only been a few months and it's already a struggle. I have to curl it or it looks REAL bad. I'll need a trim soon just to shape it into....something; even if I don't know what that is yet.

Hank's house went on the market Saturday. I went home yesterday for awhile, and I'm not sure if they had an open house but there were several parties looking at it. Tony's already grumbling, saying they're probably going to put a fence up. Who cares, it will be their house. As long as they're good neighbors, they can do what they want. Anybody want to buy a house? You'd have good neighbors, except for one curmudgeon.

Hello, Luka. Good luck with the hair. Also, good luck with the neighbors. It always makes you nervous when someone new moves into the neighborhood.

That would be fun. I could pet sit for you and you and Tony could sit around and bash Trump/Musk.

Live isn't always best

Image
A fairly new trend by some FB business pages is go 'live' with either a Q and A, news broadcast, or just to connect with fans. I've tried to watch a few but the video quality is poor. If a FB page has a regular TV show, I would just rather watch them there. I follow one of our news stations on FB and they started going live a few months ago. I don't know if it's the entire broadcast or just a small part of it. At first the notifications were annoying so I finally stopped them but twice a day along with their regular news updates, half of the screen is taken up by: KXLY is now live! I like the news team and watch them, but don't need it in stereo, and especially accompanied with a cheesy photo. It seems like news stations are in such competition that we've got it coming from all angles of social media. I would just rather watch the news on that good old fashioned thing called the Television.  Just give me the straight news without all the mu...

Still Her Advocate

Image
As a parent gets older, their children take on rolls to make things easier for them. Simple phone calls to complain about Mom's phone being down was so stressful to her, especially when it happens over and over. I would have to call her phone company several times a year and always had the same spiel, "No, I'm not going to unplug it and plug it back in, this is an ongoing problem and she uses a lifeline so she NEEDS her phone". Then they would send someone out on emergency status.  At her new home we'd have to step in to tell the owner and girls what Mom liked and how she liked things done. Yes she was particular but it would make their life so much easier if they did it her way. She had so many things taken away from her the day she moved in; just give her control over a few things. Just because she couldn't do everything for herself, she still wanted things done her way. Even after death I fought with her funeral home for an entire week.  She had a prepaid p...

Exploding Snails

Image
serves them right for eating something so gross in the first place These two idiots in California are suing the Seafood Peddler restaurant in San Rafael over an alleged incident of "exploding" escargot. Chadwick St.-OHarra and Steve Righetti were celebrating Righetti's birthday at the restaurant and they both ordered the escargot. As they dove into the little devils with their cocktail forks the snails squirt out hot garlic butter on both of their faces and polo shirts. St-OHarra cried that butter got into one of his tear ducts causing 'temporary vision impairment' and said he was genuinely outraged about the incident. Maybe he should have sued his mother for naming him Chadwick, a name like that is just asking for trouble. And have you ever been outside when a tiny little bug flies into your eye. It hurts like Hell, but you don't see me suing God do you? Like God should have warned me that little bugs can be hazardous to my eyes, causing 'tempora...
