A Walk

Today, I took the humans (Kanga, Tigger and Roo) on a walk.  We went all the way around the neighborhood, and about halfway around, Kanga took off her jacket.  For some reason, she wouldn't let me carry it.  She's throw it over her right arm, and I'd go over to her right side and start nudging her hand, so she'd switch the jacket to her left.  I'd go over and sniff at her left side. I'd walk along, staring intently at her jacket. SHE NEVER GAVE IT TO ME!!! When Roo offered to let me carry her jacket, I carried it for a minute, but I just wanted Kanga's. Why wouldn't she let me carry it.
*sings*
It's a hard dog's life for me,
Living in a family,
'stead of jackets
I carry sticks.
 LIVIN' IN A FAMILY!
It's a hard dog's life.

Kanga's not in this picture. But we're on a walk and there are jackets, so it seemed appropriate.

 Love,

XOXOXOXO <3 (The <3 is a heart, for those of you who couldn't tell, since it has come to my attention recently that not all my beloved readers were caught up on that particular emoticon.)

Sleepy doggy...

Grams came over yesterday and so I had to give her a proper greeting and give her proper amounts of attention you know. Wouldn't want her to not feel loved... But that meant that I was rather sleepy this morning and took a long nap by the front door. It was about 45 F out so the air coming in felt FANTASTIC! Lest you think I'm a wimpy BMD to have a blanket on, I was snoozing there without one until Tigger put in on me (quite unnecessary for a dog with my kinda fur!) for the pictures.

WWFN,

Birthdays, nothing but birthdays

Today (ok, when you read this it will probably already be Friday, so yesterday) is/was Baby Celery's 1 month birthday! Happy Birthday, little dude! It doesn't seem like it could be a whole month already, but I can't remember a time when you weren't here. :)

Today/ yesterday is/was the 25th anniversary of the release of the most. awesome. movie. ever. (that'd be The Princess Bride, for those of you not intimately acquainted with my favorite movies). And when I say that it's the best movie ever, I mean it. Anybody want a peanut?

Actually, the title of this post lied. I do have more than birthday stuff to share. Roo took some pictures of the weird way I was laying on my bed today. :)

Ok, more like half on and half off than on... 

Lots of love to all from your faithful*,

*Yes, Roo is pretty sure that's very nearly a quote from Little Women. No, it wasn't intentional. (BTW, if it's a LW quote, it would be from when Beth signs her letter to Mr. March when he's in the hospital. Don't ask how I know all this. :))

New Poll

The college football poll is up. :)

More pictures later when Tigger figures out the technological issue that's going on...

Football Season Is Upon Us

It's fall, and that means football (did you notice that the word "fall" is contained in football?!) season is starting, and baseball season, is, sadly, winding down.  I think football looks a little too violent for my taste, but I like watching it with Owl. It's quite soothing to sit in front of the TV with the game on, getting patted by one's Owl. Y'all should try it some time....
My family (well, except possibly Kanga and Roo who have been known to cheer for the Steelers), are Eagles fans, although they will cheer for the Vikings, if they're not playing the Eagles or the Steelers.
 I am here today, however, to instruct you in the proper terminology for how the Eagles are doing, so that if you should happen to overhear a conversation about it in my family, you won't be confused. From best to worst:
Beagles- They're doing really well. Like making it to/ winning the Superbowl well. (BTW, Beagles go at the top because beagles are dogs, and dogs are superior to birds.)
Eagles- They're doing well, but not quite well enough to qualify as Beagles.
Bagels- Their performance is mediocre
Moldy bagels- They're doing somewhat badly
Frozen moldy bagels- They're doing very badly badly
Stale frozen moldy bagels that expired in 1989 from the back of the freezer- They're losing E.V.E.R.Y.T.H.I.N.G., and that by a large margin. This is the only level we've never seen. As a matter of fact, Roo just made it up while she was helping me type this. :)

Baby C.'s University of Tennessee carseat

And now, for COLLEGE FOOTBALL!!!!!!!!!!!! Actually, I'm not going to say too much here, but GO VOLS! Why am I a UTennessee fan, you ask? Baby Celery's carseat is proof that he likes them, and if he likes them, who am I to not like them? Not to mention, their mascot kinda looks like me. ;-)

Smokie

Do you see the resemblance?

Who do YOU cheer for, football wise? The Vikings, the Steelers, the Ravens, the Eagles, the Cowboys (please, no one say Cowboys. PLEASE.)....? The Nitanny Lions, the Blue Hens, the Golden Gophers, the Vols, the Tigers (I assume Owl's alma mater has a football team?), the Golden Rams, the- oh, shoot, I don't think I know any more college football team names.... Actually don't answer those questions- I'll put up a second poll in the sidebar for NFL teams, and in a week or so, I'll replace it with college football. :)
Love,
ROSIE
