Sigh



Just so I am clear... we got iced soup to chill out and you all get these????


Sigh. It is true. If you want FAIR you have to go to Richmond. That is the only fair in this state.

Another good place for a NAP






a pillow fort... Makes a great napping place. It is cool, dark and quiet and, unless some fool tries to sit on you, it is a perfect hiding place. And the bonus point: when you wake up and jump out , you scare the daylights out of momma!

Doggy GRANITA

One of the best part of being a 4 legged at my house is momma's weird take on food.
The last few days it has been hot, very very hot. Summer like hot. Yesterday after our walk we we all panting and just "HOOOOOOT". We got our paws wiped with a wet cool towel, we got fresh water, but we were still hot.

Momma got this weird look in her face and she said "I know what to do!" . What to do about what?

She got a bunch of ice cubes, put them in the food processor and she poured chicken stock in it. Pushed a button and made a lot of noise, and in under 2 minutes, she was serving us a fab treat! Chicken stock granitas! How cool is that? And it was coooooooooooling! It was also yummy and Wendy and I loved it! JD's was veggie stock. He can't eat chicken. He loved his [and I did too...but don't tell].

Well as the story goes, momma gave us our granitas, we immediately went crazy , she went to get her camera and 14 licks or so later... there was nothing to photograph.
[duhhh...] But we were basking in post granita chill.

Oh yes, c'est la vie!
Maybe we can do this again?

Scientists Create Fluorescent Puppy
AOL
posted: 1 DAY 16 HOURS AGO

Bioengineering is going to the dogs.

A team of South Korean scientists has
created the world’s first fluorescent puppy, according to New Scientist
magazine.
Byeongchun Lee

By
normal light, Ruppy looks like any other beagle puppy. In ultraviolet light, she
glows red. She's the first transgenic puppy, meaning she was created with some
genetic material from another creature -- in this case, cloned cells that
include a red fluorescent gene sea anemones produce. Researchers from the Seoul
National University in South Korea released the photos this week.

I am not really sure what to say about this. It was cute when they did it with... fish bait... you know... worms... but dogs????
I may be just a dog, but I know that here someone needs to apply BIO-ETHICS. Yes, look it up folks. BIO-ETHICS. And don't give me that line about medical research either. Frankly, they will use it again when they make YOUR baby glow in the dark!

Never thought I was say this. I am so glad I was made the old fashion way... and no I do not glow in the dark!

Turn that light off now.

P.S. one more thing! My Dowi taught this: "Just 'cause you can, doesn't mean you should!"
