Haiku for Pedigree

Since what I do is haiku, I have written this one to support Pedigree in their efforts to provide food for shelter dogs across the U.S.


Pedigree rocks the


shelter world by sending food


to hungry houndies.

I am home from my big adventure to Utah and the pet blogger conference, BlogPaws! What an incredible and very educating event. Top notch everything right down to the cute little icing bones on our dessert…BlogPaws knows how to put on a pawty and make learning fun too! I met so many great new friends like Tillman the Skateboarding dog to Norman the Scooter Dog.

Count ‘Em

[image error]Beware, dogs can’t hold their licker or their waggers either, it appears!


Just another beautiful day in sunny Spotsy.  20% chance of rain – the horror! 


Checked my old zip code in Whorelando on weather.com and saw 100% chance of rain – and none too gentle rain at that.


I used to count my blessings once in a blue moon.  Now I seem to do it every day.  Today the blessings are too numerous to list, but a short and sincere list is:


Spotsylvania


Retired Colonel


Healthy Hounds


Chirping Birds


Sunny Skies


Bounteous Garden


Stack of Good Books to Read


Spotsylvania.


Woops, did I mention something twice?!

Is It Hot In Here?


I used to be hot


Now, menopausal, I’m still


hot but it’s no fun!

What a Difference a Year Makes

A year ago today I drove through these gates for the first time:


[image error]………drove down this driveway for the first time:



….and saw The Basset Plantation for the first time



   …….and just when I thought it could not get any better, saw this view from my backyard for the first time! 


Geese on the Ni River Reservoir


……and I have been chortling :


Oh frabjous day! Callooh! Callay!


ever since.

YAWP

 


I too am not a bit tamed, I too am untranslatable,


I sound my barbaric YAWP over the roofs of the world. 


…Walt Whitman, Leaves of Grass.
