As promised:
That's my dog, "Keiko" on the grass, and my daughter's deaf Dalmatian "Angus" right next to me.
Down front, working on braiding their leashes, are "Smokey," my buddy, "Roo," very much a momma's girl, but at home on any lap that's offered, and "Buns," the independent one of the bunch.
Roo's bark often says her name....
I understand my neighbors looked forward to the show each day....

Sure hope he's all right!!It's very chilly and wet here this morning. The rain is supposed to be out of here sometime later today/night. Then,our low tomorrow night/Friday morning is to be in the mid toupper 20s. Guess that's about all my "news" this morning, except to saythat I had a really great time with Sarah at the mall. Toobad that one jewelry store wasn't giving something other thancandy to hand out to trick-or-treaters!! We could have donesome early Christmas shopping.Everyone have a great day, and let me know if you have anyspecial requests for lunch and supper menus, please.Message From:The Cook
Perhaps linguine with red clam sauce for dinner? Haven't had it in a long time. Canned clams are ok given the season. The turkeys were out back again this morning with a couple of big toms and 10 or 12 hens. Perhaps I can bag one later in the month for Turkey Day...
Mutt, your picture of Cherokee Woman all dressed up in engineer's garb is interesting. I have an antique CB&Q brakeman's lantern, complete with a red fresnel globe which I couuld have loaned her.......it would have made her look a little more authentic. I sort of pictured in my own mind what CW looks like, and I was close!

Let me see those arms.... Hmmmm... That looks like a good vein. Better use a 14 guage catheter.....
I love the Coin Street Fruitcakes. No one ever seemed interested in them and I practically had to force people at work to try one. They are so good, but unfortunately have a bad rep!
I also put up my 6" xmas tree on my desk. It is the only decorating I have done, but that was so easy - open drawer, remove tree, set it down. Done!
Now to await the gifts that will magically appear under it? (yeah right!)
Well, the ladies wanted to go out yesterday to do some "Trick or Treating", they decided on going
to one of the local Malls. They said they had a very good time;and got LOTS of GOODIES! I'm
still wondering about that one, as they ONLY brought me back some candy!

...Tree, appreciate just what you are going through with those 3 mini-Doxie's....We had 2 of them one right after the other for 33 years....So loveable, and of course really just another member of the family....In their eyes the most important part of the family.
Very intelligent dogs...{or is it people}, at least they think they are people....We took them eveyplace we went {we were a lot younger then}. Even to Disney World...There they had to stay in Disney's {dog hotel}, and we even had to make out a menu for her. A/C'd too....
Almost all of the Doxie's have similar habits and I think begging is one of their highest honed abilities...When they give you "that look"....well they know what they are doing...
They were really an important part of our family.

Ed,
You might talk to the Mudchicken. During the summer months, he becomes an expert at pumping large quantities of Gatorade through an IV. I'm sure he could help you with yours...
Well, since I live all by my lonesome (the only house in an industrial area), I never get any Trick or Treaters. I never learn, either. Every year I buy candy and wait for someone to show up, and then every year I have to take care of the consumption of said candy also by myself. Hmmm...what can I say...
Sarah, it's funny that you mentioned your BDU story. I went to a JROTC high school back in IL, and one year I went in my Class A's to a Halloween party. Had a lot of similar reactions. Explaining that I was only in JROTC got to be almost a chore. It was kind of like when I had my certificate proclaiming that after graduation I was a Brevet 2LT in the Illinois National Guard, unassigned (and unpaid! ;-) ). I finally got tired of explaining that it was an honorary thing (given to all JROTC grads) that meant almost nothing (except that I could go into any branch of the service with a starting pay grade of E-3), so I finally took it down.
Well, guess I had better be about my business. Hope you all have a great day!

As soon as I can scan the picture in, I'll share what my life was like last week. Five dogs. Daughter was tied up with wedding and honeymoon, so I had the Dalmatian. Son & DIL are moving from upper left coast to DC, and just this week are moving into their new house, so I have had their three mini-doxies. Plus my own pup (well, old pup). Not to mention Mom visiting for the week. I had a houseful.
The honeymooners are home, and so is the Dal. Looks like the DIL will be up Friday, planning to leave Saturday with the 3 little ones. Life will be back to normal!
I don't know how well the three of them would do as a lending library - they're pretty much a set, and keep track of each other. The female, however, is pretty much a lap dog, and if there's a lap available, you can count on her being in it.
mookie
glad your fur is back in place after all the ghosts and gobblins.this year seems to be flying by.lets do 1 holiday at a time.have to be good today its our pastors birthday today.
joe
OK - One holiday in the closet and next one out.

Well CW has it fully stocked for the next holiday. Maybe we should start early? Hmmm????
Tree - I would love to take one of those little guys off your hands. Maybe have a doggie library where I could check out a pet of the week?
Had to go gently suggest a new resting spot for a local cat - he looked like Garfield sitting on the fence right next to the bird feeder next door. Surprised he didn't have his mouth open with seeds in it!
14 little ones and someone left a piece of candy on our porch. Wasn't that nice of them?
Well,not many "Trick or Treaters" here at the house this evening but,
CW had "The Silver Spike/Stake ready just in case Dracula showed up!!
She was ready to get to the "Heart" of the matter!!!!
[She let me borrow it to take the pic.,otherwise it was at the door,at the ready!!]
[Luckily we've not had to USE IT!!]
