Rice and chicken 5 comments

Rice and chicken. That’s what I hope to coax Miss D into eating tonight. She didn’t eat dinner and she didn’t eat breakfast. But her favorite perch was soaking and there was more evidence on the floor (ewww-TMI)

i have no idea what she ate, but clearly her tummy is very upset 😦

At least she’s staying hydrated.

so… Rice and chicken

😦

Squishy! 2 comments

Mommy hasn’t been feeling well. she had some work done in her mouth so we’ve been staying with the grandpaw-ents for a couple of days. I’m not a fan of their wood floors. I’ve been slipping and sliding all over the place. But they’ve got lots of these awesome little treats and soft rugs and plush pillows everywhere. Squishy!

Full of Wonder Leave a comment

Today’s WTF moment…

Miss D proves to be a wonder to me. We did not meet up with any dogs this evening, thank Dawg! However, on our nightly patrol we were passed by several cyclists, both in the proper bike lane and on our sidewalk. No problem. A little excited panting, but no “Alert!” or “Suspicious!” stance. (Yes! Treat.) We were also passed by walkers and this is where it gets interesting.

A single person passing, either from behind or coming toward us, was watched with suspicion, but from a seated position, well out of their path. (Yes! Treat.) Couples walking together silently were also watched with suspicion, a little more intently and with a definite unfriendly stance. Still, no “Alert!” or threatening behavior, so I’d say it was a soft B-/C+. But couples walking and talking, or groups of three or more, were found to be very threatening. We had to cross the street before they got too close.

Large groups of strangers coming toward us, OK. I kind of understand why she would feel threatened. But why the couple talking? Is it simply the noise of talking that made them different than the silent couple? It’s not as if they were arguing or talking excitedly. It was simple chit-chat. Two gals catching up on the week’s events. What is so threatening about that? WTF?
