My turn.

Remember when I got stitched and momma had to take care of me?

Well, I got all better and despite the humiliation of having to wear a onsie, I maintained my dignity.

Well, it's my turn to take care of the momma. She was going through a box in the garage and 

apparently she put her hand on a sharp piece of broken glass that she did not see.

The glass retaliated. It cut momma's finger and made her bleed a lot.

Daddy pitched the glass into the trash, because we do not tolerate aggressive ill mannered glass.

But the only way the momma stopped bleeding was to get the finger sewn up. So, now I am taking care of her. I mostly alert daddy if the woman decides to do something stupid. Like running the vacuum. 

So I watch her.

On, you know what is neat?  She has a metal finger bed! Seriously, her finger has it's one little canoe like splinty thing!  Keeps the finger straight. No, it's her ring finger, not her middle finger! You have a strange mind.

I will spare you the cell pics that daddy took while they sewed up the momma. Pretty nasty.

I am grateful he was not there when Dr Redding worked on my tushy! 

Daddy.... OVER THE LINE!

So, for now, I am offering her my belly 24/7 on demand, because these are the sacrifices one makes for love. I let her rub my belly and that keeps her from doing DOG knows what else.

Oh not to be petty or anything, but she only got 3 stitches. I had 7.  Nuff said. But hen again she did play the open artery card... "I am momma, I can bleed to death"... little attention hog...

Back to nursing duty.

later.

You want to force us to pose? Fine you get this!

Four bored dogs trying to figure out why they are wearing coats.

'vie...."Seriously I do not do matchie matchie!  UGH"

The Wendy Pohh: "I hate polkie dots, I am not posing!"

JD: "You woke me up for this????"

Cosmo: "Well, are we going somewhere or are these just standing around rags?"

You think you know...

what I am thinking?

You think I am thinking chaise= fab

ray of sun= awesome.

Chaise+ray of sun= Fabulously awesome

Yup, that was the initial fleeting thought.  But I am a deeper thinker than that and you should know that by now.

The chairo-scuro setting created the perfect setting for deep thinking.

And so my mind went on to work... I have been reading a lot lately and was rather disturbed by quotes attributed to supposedly "wise" "intelligent man". Cough cough cough...

"Animals are in possession of themselves; their soul is in possession of their body. But they have no right to their life, because they do not will it."

Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel

And hoomans will life???? I suppose I should be grateful he admits animals have a soul. But the ethnospecic  thinking that oozes out of that statement is just bizarre. Dude! I have every right to my life precisely because it is MY life. What a tool! Hegel was is and forever will be WRONG! He is dead, right? Hope he stays that way. Hey dude, you are  were hooman, why did you not will your life?  Ha????"

Lucky for me there are many many better hoomans that have written valuable thoughts. Like this one.

"If having a soul means being able to feel love and loyalty and gratitude, then animals are better off than a lot of humans."

James Herriot

Ob, I am a thinker.  Lucky for me I have the perfect setting to think in.
