I just got done saying that I don’t walk the dogs any more, since moving out here to the country, but then it occurred to me that the last week or so I have been walking Max down to the mailbox and back a couple of times a day. When …
I’m not going to apologize for this blog being so silent lately; life is what it is, and I hate reading sporadically updated blogs who always start off each sporadic post with “OMG, I’m like so totally sorry it’s been three years since I updated!”. You guys all know the …
This post brought to you by my phone, acting as a mobile hotspot! I went to a Verizon office and see what they could do for me, and was able to change two plans with one gig of data each to a single shared plan with ten gigs of data …
Because I sure as heck don’t. It’d been so long since I logged in, WordPress forgot who I was (and there’s no way I’m remembering a password). It’s all good, now, though, I got in – clearly, since I’m writing this and you might even be reading it. What have …
I have never met two more tangly dogs than these two. Poor Lindy; she doesn’t really grok the leash yet at all, it’s probably not even fair to be walking them together. She gets caught on mailboxes, trees, signs, and herself. She walks around me in back, and tangles me. …
When I walk the dog, I may be listening to my headphones, but my eyes take in everything. OK, maybe not everything. But a lot. Like this little lot. It looks like at one point it was a cross-through street. It’s between 9th St and 8th St and it is …
If you come down We’ll go to town I haven’t been there for years But I’d be fine Wasting our time Not doing anything here Just doing nothing We’ll sit for days And talk about things Important to us like whatever We’ll defuse bombs And walk marathons And take on …
Woke up and wished that I was dead With an aching in my head I lay motionless in bed I thought of you and where you’d gone and let the world spin madly on Everything that I said I’d do Like make the world brand new And take the time …
So I got off my lazy ass the other morning and took Backup Dog on a 2-mile walk. It made me think two things… one, that dog poops a lot in the morning. The other thing is that I really need motivation to walk more, I felt horribly out of …
My ulterior motive in this photo was really to sneak a picture of one of my favorite houses in town, which I have previously mentioned here. The rest of my 2010 photos can be viewed here.
(Originally posted March 13, 2006) Hey, new category! Adventures in dog walking. Because, you know, this website is all about the things that go on in my life; and other than knitting and showing off pictures of Shortie’s dog, walking is something I’ve been doing a lot of lately. So …
(Originally posted April 6, 2006) Jack Handy says that he is never more aware then right after he hits his thumb with a hammer. Well… I am never more aware then when my dog is taking a ginormous crap on a busy street. And why is that? I crap. You …
(Originally posted April 26, 2006) A number of things factor in to where I walk my dog. In order of importance: Are there pretty houses and yards upon which I can feast my eyes? Are there sidewalks? And if there are not sidewalks, is walking in the road a deathtrap? …
(Originally posted August 17, 2006) It’s an older house, a bit run down but not nearly as shabby as the one next to it. Dark grey clapboard, with recently painted white trim. No air conditioning, or at least not that they’re using, because the sash windows are all up. One …
(Originally posted on September 27, 2006) I almost didn’t want to go for a walk this morning, because an over-protective yappy dog owner yelled at me yesterday. I’m deliberately being vague about whether it was the dog or the owner who was “yappy”. I don’t know if you’ve ever seen …
Wait, wasn’t yesterday Friday? Whoops. The rest of my 2010 photos can be viewed here.
(Originally posted December 26, 2006) Sometimes I sing along with Kermit [Ed Note: this was the name of my first iPod, which was green] in the morning. Just under my breath, more humming than singing, and the only person who I believe to ever have noticed is a woman down …
(Originally posted September 30, 2008) Welcome to Snarkland, bloggy home to knitting and discussion of my dogs! Some day I will have more topics. Maybe spinning, since I just plied a bunch of singles off of a shitload of bobbins. Aren’t you excited?! New pup’s name—We’ve decided to go with …
Today looked like such a beautiful day that I brought my camera with me while walking Backup Dog. One of these will eventually be the photo of the day, I’m just not sure which one yet – I can’t choose! Votes welcome. 1. 21, 2. 20, 3. 19, 4. 18, …
I know, I know; it’s Sunday. I’m running behind. AS USUAL. The rest of my 2010 photos can be viewed here.
(Originally posted on February 22, 2007) This morning while walking with Bridgett, I passed… jogger girl and her dog… a long-haired white cat who was wet and matted, and looked very mean… an orange cat who ran away… two black cats who were playing tag in a yard… jogger girl, …
(Originally posted on July 10, 2008) Thursday is trash pickup day in my neighborhood; I usually forget this and then when walking the dog I feel that I’m being stalked by the garbage trucks. But I am always amused by guys in their boxers running their trash bins out to …
Originally published on April 21, 2006 (and check it – Denise’s first public comment!) The Door to Nowhere I like to imagine things about the people who live in the houses we walk past in the mornings. I like to look at things about their houses and try to guess …
