Not necessarily the best carbs to load on, Seattle, April 2007.First of all, I turned to TH yesterday and said "a year ago, would you ever have thought you would be carrying a bikini-clad rubber chicken to the car to entice your dog to follow?".
Seriously.
Next, it is spring here.
I am so happy. I could have done without the downpours of yesterday leaving me with a pile of wet sloppy clothing hanging on the line that I am going to have to take off now, spin and then throw in the dryer. The lilacs are blooming as are the fruit trees. Looks like our old cherry will mostly rejoin us this year. I am relieved.
Sigh.
I need to pack for my half marathon tomorrow. Desitin (don't ask), glide, three pairs of socks, ibuprofen, second skin, some power bars, sunscreen (always hopeful), some water and rain jacket.
Should be fun! Will be treated at the end by TH and Ernest bringing us back to Miss J's car.
Yesterday, I received a terse email from our homeless acquaintance thanking us for the 100 dollar donation we made to the Humane society when he had to surrender his cats for what we believed would be a fostering situation. It paid for their euthanization and cremation since they did not pass the old cat physical.
Nice.
Like, when we found a home for them for the last nine months, kept them in food, litter and vet bills and then tried to find a fostering situation when he was incapable, we were being cruel and thoughtless.
Just call me nm, cat killer.
Sigh.
Serenity now.
You can kill me snail killer. I have been forcing Ernest on long (1 hour walks) in the morning in the hood, just to kill snails. I need to know just how far on someone's property I can creep to pick up snails and bring them to the sidewalk to kill.
Would you as a homeowner be incensed if I was to pick snails off of your retaining wall or rockery or steps (the first two to your garden) to kill them before they get to your hostas?
I need to know.
I don't want someone coming out with their NYT and latte and beating me over the head with it and throwing hot caffeinated coffee at me. I drink decaf, that would be bad.
On that happy note, I'm going to sign off now until tomorrow when I will return to you aglow, in pain and done for the month!
nm, cold blooded killer according to few

When I see you carrying diatomaceous earth in a little baggie on your walks then I will worry.
I hope you have had a big time out there today.
OK - I know its not a dog blog. And I only "DO" dog blogs. But Sentence 1 was very doggy and made me laugh out loud.
Please haunt our front garden in search of snails. Please. But worry ye not about the hostas, whip the wee buggers off the lettuce seedlings. Please?
