This guy had a good view of those of us getting the mail.

Oh Lord! That little leprechaun looks just like Ayla.

The current Mrs. Blythe complains because I never take her out to eat.  How is that possible?  I take her to Sam's Club every month.

It's official.  Whizzbang is the worst behaved dog in Obediance class and is starting to get on the instructor's nerves.  She also is the only dog to perform a defecation trick.  We have an actual photo from last weeks class.



She got yelled at for staring down another dog.  Whizz is easily distracted and lunges while heeling making stepping on her paws happen more than once.  Dumb dog.  Dumb owner.

Whizzbang, aka, Dumbstruck the Wonder Pup is half Aussie Shepherd and half Black Mouth Cur, both herding breeds.  This is a pretty cool video showing well trained dogs herding geese.   She visited her first dog park last Saturday and there were two Lab brothers there and Whizzy tried herding them.

Seen in Clearwater last week.  Another example of excellent marketing and presentation.

I seriously thought about this until I saw the price tags.

We went to a flea market in Oldsmar on Saturday.  This black panther item was in a vendor's cabinet.  This is just for my brothers:  when we were kids didn't the grandparents have one of these sitting around on something.  I remember being fascinated, scared, and mystified all at the same time?

You know those nights when you pull all the covers over you and at some point it gets too warm so you kick them all off.

Summer Swim

It's Monday and the start of another work week.  Except for me.  I have the week off because the parents of my daycare charges are taking the week off, too. This is one of those wordless posts I love on Mondays so I can put my laziness in full view of loyal readers.  These pics need no words.  Why muddy the waters?   They were taken at the pool at Sinkhole Estates aka Death Valley.  The nice thing about this pool is it is heated in winter.  If one must find positives in one's situation, I suppose that is one.  But, please, no more.

Flashback Friday

Class, Or Lack Thereof The Dwight Vice gravestone in Oquawka, Illinois. I bring this old chestnut out every so often just to remind me that class is classless.  Dwight Vice was killed in his home near Oquawka in 2001.  It was one of those things that can generate crime:  two guys thought Dwight had a lot of money stashed at home because of his pot-selling sideline to supplement his fishing job.   Not really one of those big drug deals gone-bad things.  Marijuana was, according to the trial, about the only stuff Dwight sold.   But these two guys barge into the house and killed Dwight and attempted to kill his 11 year old kid, Darryl, before they took off with what money they could find.   His son, now 23, was stabbed in the back and left for dead.  He survived and is wheelchair bound and has undergone several surgeries to repair his wounds.  He will be paralyzed for life.   None of this is pleasant.  Reading the facts of the murder and attempted murder are most unpleasant
