You capture such great pics of her as well!

“The library was closed! Hours cut for budgetary reasons. This is getting scary!”

That is very scary. And quite sad. I completely understand, and yet believe that a more fiscally responsible government would find a way to make sure that things like libraries have more than enough funds to operate at full capacity for the regular number of hours. It is a sad commentary on the times and should be a rallying cry for change!

And by the way, I forgot to mention in the post above, I look forward to the Irish flavor of your upcoming posts!!!

Time for change, indeed! Fiscally responsible government!!?? How about a city that paid for a baseball park but can’t keep the library open in the evening, when most people are off of work and can visit the library? “Miller Park was built with $310 million of public funds from a .1% sales tax for purchases over $10 applied in Milwaukee County and the surrounding four suburban counties, which was controversial, due to the unpopular notion of using public funds for a privately owned sports team.” Duh!

As far as the Irish posts, I intended to have that going already, but life keeps getting in the way. Maybe tomorrow. :)

As for Zoe and the pink toy – who’s bigger, really? both are little dolls.
Sorry, the pet pictures make me all corny every darn time. They keep us real, these pets do.

Terra wasn’t too happy at first – she does not welcome interlopers. Zoe has won her over, however, and they have a grand time, racing around the house. Zoe is just a little streak of fur running past. She teases Terra incessantly.

Your boys are rather old! I think it is time for a pup….

Yes, blank anything can get me into trouble, too! Your style is so darned delightful, I always smile when I visit you!

And Zoe. Talk about a delight! Perfection on four legs!

I am so glad I make you smile, Jeanie. And those darn blank pieces of paper! Trouble, all the way around.
Zoe is perfect…. and her little brother is up for adoption. The people who have him are not being very nice and have lost interest, so I am trying to find him a home. He is as cute as the dickens, too. Know anyone interested??

I have times like that too, and I revel in them. But it’s good to write it all down for, there always come a time when the mind is quiet and needs a transfusion.

Those puppy pictures are the greatest! Isn’t it fun to watch the relationship between two dogs. Ours keep us entertained for hours.

Hi Becca. Yup, those creative synapses are popping, just like popcorn! My brain is feeling rattled :)
The pups are indeed lots of fun to watch. Terra has become quite “tolerant” of the puppy’s exuberance, and only puts Zoe in her place occasionally.
