Feeling hormonal surges when you see Gibbs on TV? Or when you see an old boyfriend, you know, the one that got away? Well, just be careful. Those hormones caused all of us to make some of the most disastrous decisions of our lives. Just because we’ve gotten older doesn’t mean our hormones have gotten wiser.

First day at the pool continued
Against all odds, they learned how to swim from one end of the pool to the other. Allowing themselves to be blown dry was a totally different issue. They were so outta there.
Want your dog to enjoy the same fun on those cold days when walking is so hard for them. Go to Alaska K9 Aquatics on W. International Airport Road. Call 677-7946 for details, prices and an appointment.

First day at the pool
Their first day at the pool begins with hugs of reassurance that no one will ever leave them alone to sink or swim. It is followed by a discussion among the affected parties as to how much they will poop in mom’s bed that night to show their appreciation for this interesting experience.

Falling back
Would someone please come and explain this concept of daylight savings time and turning the clock back an hour to my birds and dogs. They apparently don’t quite grasp it. I stayed up an extra hour on Saturday night to revel in the change. They got up an extra hour earlier on Sunday morning, totally unimpressed with the concept of magically changing time based on government fiat. Perhaps they’ve followed the government’s recent debacles and figured they shouldn’t pay attention to anything it tries to do.
It occurs to me
It occurs to me that I spend more time reading the ingredients in my dogs’ food than I do in the food I eat. Hmmm….
I know I shouldn’t but…
Is there anything more fun than handing out treats to your dogs that they really don’t like but not a one of them is going to pass it up for fear the others will have the advantage. They stand there with the treat in their mouths, each eying the other and then go hide it. It will reappear at some point during my annual deep cleaning ritual when I’m willing to look into the dark spaces.
Ah old age…
It makes everything old seem new again since we don’t remember a damn thing from one day to the next.
Dress up as government in any form. Win the scariest costume prize.
It being so close to Halloween, I think we should examine the new paradigm in America in which the scariest things of all begin with the words, “The US Congress has formed a bipartisan committee to (fill in the blank – it doesn’t matter because nothing will ever come of it).” Also high on the list are the words, “Hi, I’m from the Affordable Care Act and I’m here to help you enroll online.”
Growing up, I was always told how lucky I was to live in America and not the Soviet Union where people feared their government. How quickly
Maybe this is asking too much but…
Maybe this is asking too much from a group that is clearly limited in so many ways but if the Republicans don’t like Obama’s health care plan, what exactly is their alternative plan? Have I just missed it in all my reading and listening?
The wild birds of Alaska
As someone privileged to get up close and personal with our magnificent wild birds on a weekly basis, I sometimes forget the wonder that overcomes someone interacting with them for the first time. I rediscover that wonder in the eyes of the children who come to events like Owl-O-Ween and hand Kodi, our Northwestern Crow, a dollar bill that he then deposits in his cache jar. It is always an amazing experience.
