(Winnie 1994-2006)

I realize that term dates me, but it just seemed to fit here. After having two golden retrievers for their lifespans, this video made me want to go right out and get another one. Thanks to Jayne, for making my day.

The Scary Drum

I have been thinking about taking a course that requires a drum, so when I found this one at the Farmer's Market the other day I jumped on it. It was made by a Native American from New Mexico who sets up a booth here at Lake Tahoe during the summer. This booth has beautiful, authentic items, made by the lady and her husband. Anyway, as soon as I got it home I tried it out. This activity absolutely freaked Lucy out ! She not only ran up the stairs, but would not even enter the room that held the drum --- all day! Occasionally she would peek around the corner, but refused to be in the same room as the offending instrument.

Have I mentioned that my dog is neurotic?

On another note, I've decided to take a break from blogging. I'm hoping it will inspire me to finish up a writing project. I will be dropping by and visiting you, however. And I will occassionally post when I feel a topic is interesting or important.

I'm in a funny mood these days. I'm not quite sure what is happening, but it appears other bloggers are feeling the same way as I've noticed several of you are thinking about a blogging break. Is it the Dog Days of Summer or something more? I guess only time will tell. Take care dear blogging friends.

Happy Dog

I will leave you this week with a dog smiling, and looking strangely like its owner. There is controversy whether or not this is an actual picture, or one that has been photoshopped. However, since our very own Lucy has been showing her teeth lately in toothy grins, I say - real. What do you think?

Have a great weekend, everyone!
