Home Again
Monday, August 25th, 2008Welcome back!Arriving back at your home, you struggle to hold onto the puppy while you try to unlock the front door. Apparently the puppy is not overly thrilled with the sconce that is on the outside of your house next to the door. He won’t stop barking at it. You sigh, finally get the door […]
Thoughts on Raising the Young
Monday, August 25th, 2008Petting the puppy as you walk, you think about how much better it is to raise a puppy than to try and raise a child. No worries about the perils of growing up in this day and age, dating, acne treatment, or colleges… a fenced yard is really all you need to maintain a happy […]
Puppy Prejudice?
Sunday, August 24th, 2008Looking down at the new little friend in your arms, you can’t help but smile. It will be nice to have someone to talk to, anyway. Passing the hardware store, you step inside to inquire about the pricing on that new ac compressor you need… and are immediately escorted back out the door. Apparently, […]
A New Friend
Sunday, August 24th, 2008Well, you ALMOST made it out the door before you saw the row of puppy cages. There they were, all lined up like the rooms at one of those cheap hotels you find by the roadside, and peeking out of every door was at least one of the cutest puppies on the planet. No […]
Inside the Pet Shop
Sunday, August 24th, 2008Okay, the hampsters got your attention. Stepping into the little shop, you see the owner way at the back, feeding the fish. Walking back to greet him, you ask him about the odd display in the front window. The owner enthusiastically explains that he bought into a program he found on a franchise opportunities […]
The Pet Shop Window
Sunday, August 24th, 2008Moving slowly down the street, and still muttering under your breath about all the dust, you pass the pet shop. As you go by, something catches your eye, and you go back for a better look. There, in the display window is what appears to be an entire village of hampsters. Several are wearing […]
A Light Dusting?
Monday, August 11th, 2008Stepping back out onto the sidewalk, you immediately are assailed by a huge cloud of dust and a horrendous racket. As the dust settles all over you, you see the cause… several teens showing off their teenliness on well used Harleys, most of which are in serious need of repair, at least from the […]
The Pharmacy
Monday, August 11th, 2008Deciding to get the trip to the pharmacy out of the way first, you head over there. It’s a short walk, and you arrive in only a few minutes. Entering, you look cautiously around, and then relax. A different assistant is at the counter. No gout stories today. Heading to the shelf where the […]
On your way again!
Monday, August 11th, 2008As you step out onto the porch, you momentarily ponder the fact that you had made the mistake anyway. The vitamin bottles and the weight loss remedies look nothing alike. The only possible answer is that while you were shopping, you DID get a bit distracted when the pharmacist’s assistant insisted on describing the […]
Momentary Delay
Monday, August 11th, 2008Noticing that the day has warmed up considerably, you slip out of the extra sweater you had put on earlier to ward off the morning’s chill. You walk in to the bathroom and open the medicine cabinet. Earlier this week, you somehow managed to pick up a bottle of diet pills instead of the […]
