Old Dogs

It's a cool, damp and cloudy saturday morning. I'm having coffee out of that ugly mug I got the other day, someday I'll have to discribe it to you all, but not today! Coffee could have been just a bit stronger...sometimes I just don't get it right! Jose has got Kramer out for a walk and I just took miss Josie out for her morning thing in the backyard...the neighbor lady had her little dog out too.
Her dog is very geriatric and is blind and probably pretty much deaf also...but she cares for her as you would a baby... her name is Cuddles. She is a chiwawa ( I know that's not the way you spell it, but honestly, I couldn't find it in the dictionary cause I don't know what comes after the "i"!). Poor Cuddles staggers around in their backyard and looks like she could just drop any minute, but she keeps on keepin' on...don't know how much longer, but as long as she's able to eat and breathe
and not suffering a lot she'll be cared for.
The squirrels are active this morning, I see one rolling down the big mulberry tree in the back yard. They keep the dogs in an uproar and Kramer would love to get his jaws on one of them.
Somehow, I don't think that will happen. They love to tease the dogs and will literally torment them by chattering from a lower limb as if to invite one of them to just try it!!! I remember a fox terrier I had years ago who would literally try to climb a tree after a squirrel..........she messed her back up and had to have a cortisone injection just because of her love of the squirrel chase! She was a lap dog as I recall, I could not ever sit in a chair alone without Penny jumping up in my lap and making it her bed! She was a sweetheart............gee. all this dogtalk is dredging up old memories of dogs gone by! I have had many dogs in my life and could write multiple pages about almost all of them and knowing me, sooner or later I will probably share a little about the pooches in my life with you all........but will have to ease into them a bit at a time as you all might think I'm a canine lovin' loon of some sort!
Well, folks, the man of the house is back with the top dog (not) and he's on a mission as I hear the truck starting up...said he'd be back! I'll bet he came upon a yard sale on the walk and is out to buy a "treasure"! Oh, boy! The last treasure he came upon on a walk was a brand new "Majic Bullet", which is a blender thingy with a bunch of different containers. etc,.......anyway, it was indeed a bargain and he uses it a lot......and it makes wonderful moolate's! Now, that was definitely worth going after....but, I can't say that for all his treasures.............it's kinda like that proverbial box of chocolates from Forrest.........you never know what he'll come home with!!!
Kramer has found a squirrel friend to harrass and I probably should get him out of the yard before he wakes up all those folks that are trying to sleep in this morning! Have a good day everyone and let's hope there's some sunshine in store for us!
