Just wondering how hard it would be to teach Taco to tap dance... Where can you buy tap dance shoes for a little brown dog? Should I enroll him in lessons????? So many questions for such a great idea.

They have them on the internet.

this one seems to be doing it without lessons.


I would never do this to my dog.

If you take your dog walking outside on a the pavement on a hot day in the summer, it's recommended you put something on his paws, or they'll burn.

Tap dancing sounds more humane than ballet...

kaz, I 94 E to I 69 S exit 13 to US 12 E to M 99 S five miles. Wave just after the sharp left turn in town.

Happy Hillsdale! You by the lake. Will be going by there around 5 tomorrow, it'll be the metallic grey Toyota.

Go Blue!

At 5? Probably, I have two customers over there trim a boxwood at one and mow another. I have to clean out a channel on Baw Beese soon too. Thing is I don't have a pesticide/herbicide license, mostly because that stuff causes cancer. Hip wadders, pruners and a garden rake I guess.

I have a huge yard, so there was never any need to walk them.
People have had dogs in cities for a long time, way before they even thought of shoes for dogs. None have ever gotten burned paws, that I have ever heard of.
It is just a marketing ploy.

Poor dog, he looks embarrassed.

Just an early prediction... Navy will beat Army again this year in football. Remember, you heard it here first.

He probably is. Not to mention that those shoes are likely very uncomfortable for the dog. He already has a layer of fur, and besides restricting his natural movement, the shoes also add to the heat, especially in the summer months.

If the Army would just get a new coach............And quarterback, and a front line and a halfback, and a defense....

Ahhhh. Home sweet home. I just got back from a week in Georgia at Boy Scout Summer Camp followed by immediately turning around to go to Band Camp in Kentucky (I missed the first week so I had a lot of catching up to do, especially since this is my first year). I didn't have time to go on my laptop in between I believe.

Anyways, I finally asked the girl I've liked for a year and a half out, and let it be said that
A. I can't ask girls out since I don't really know how, so I just state I'd like to go out with them.
B. I still don't have a girlfriend, even though I wasn't exactly rejected.
C. Moms apparently hate it when their son's smart, likable friend suddenly asks their daughter out.

Back to band, our show this year is based on The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly- many of you have probably seen it. Tonight-after 2 weeks (1 for me) of practice- we showed the opening theme song and Ecstasy of Gold for our parents . I accidentally hit a Color Guard member's head during the performance. Earlier, I'd hit the Drum Major's tuba during a tricky set.

Dayum. Maybe you should switch to piccolo.

I'm going to sign off early tonight everybody. Hope everybody had a good day and is looking forward to a great weekend.

And I'll leave you with three-year-old drummer playing "Can Can" from "Orpheus in the Underworld" with a prestigious Russian orchestra--be sure to stay for his solo :

Good night darlinks. I love you guys.

And we're still keeping vigil for
Harper (Save's granddaughter),
Sunshine,
Pogo’s friend Pat and special comfort for Pogo,
TK, and TK's grandma,
Sheila’s friend Shirley,
Spoonie, Ringel, and Sheila's sore backs,
Sherry’s Mom,
BDBoop, her sis, and family,
Hombre,
Pix,
Becki and Becki’s hubby,
Sheila and son Andrew,
Noomi’s Auntie Marj and Nana and friend Tracy,
Sheila's sore foot post surgery healing,
Stat's aunt,
Smilebong and family as they deal with the passing of his brother-in-law,
Complete healing for Mrs. Ringel and assurance for Ringel,
All of us and those we care about who are looking for work,
All who are dealing with colds and flu,
And all others we love and hold in concern.

And the light is on awaiting the return of Bigfoot, Oddball, and Sunshine.

P.S. Sometimes in the editing of the vigil list or when I have switched computers, somebody gets dropped that is supposed to be on it. This will always be inadvertent and if ya'll would call it to my attention, it would be much appreciated.

[Noomi]

Asked my lovely Sensei if I could call her and ask her advice on something. I got her away from her washing and ironing at least, which she seemed happy about!
I asked her advice on a friendship issue. I made a mistake with someone, apologised to them, and now they don't want to speak to me. I have done what I can to salvage the friendship, and Tracy told me there isn't much I can do, apart from what I already have. I can persevere if I wanted, but its up to this other guy to move on, now.
She says time heals all wounds, and he might get over it one day.

Personally I think this guy is making mountains out of molehills because he went behind my back and hurt my feelings, too but I am not bitter about it.

Anyway, it was a lovely chat. She offered some great advice and I was very grateful. I love knowing that I can count on her.

He sounds like a putz...

What a peaceful image that places in my head, BBD.

We have a different species of birds singing every morning beginning around 4. They have a pretty sound to them, but in unison become loud noise and I have to get out of bed and close the window and then can't always get back to sleep. This happens in the summer. I don't know how they found my place, for the first time in 8 years and just 3 feet from my windows. The previous species waited until around 5 or 6 to begin their concert. That was acceptable.

Birds are fine, I usually sleep right through their singing. However 4am is a little early. If they are really that close to the window, here's one way to eliminate your problem ...

Air catditioner?

There were two different times when a boyfriend had to build either a perch or a walkway for my cats. One time I had moved to a converted garage on someone's property. It was a nice conversion, and the house and garage were surrounded by a big fenced yard and garden. But, the people in the main house had a big dog. My cat got to roam free, but I felt she would want to be able to get out of reach of the dog if necessary. So my friend build a perch for the cat to climb up on just outside my back door. It was a ladder leading to a platform, built on the deck outside my kitchen window.

Another time, years later and a different cat and boyfriend, I had moved to the upstairs flat in a house, and the stairway was an indoor stair way. To make it easy for the cat to go in and out, my then boyfriend build a walkway from the upstairs window down to the roof of the carport and then a step ladder down to the lawn, also a fenced yard. Both of these worked quite well for the cats.

That's what this photo reminded me of--adapting your house to suit the cat's needs.

I could never get any sound to come out on a flute, let alone a piccolo.
I do play the second largest instrument in the Band- the baritone- so maybe that is why I keep hitting people.

I'm surprised they'd let you do that to their rentals.
