I'm watching the National Dog Show on NBC... so many different dogs! Little dogs, big ones, fluffy and sleek dogs! I am grateful for all the PT dogs and their people :)

I love every breed, how one would go about choosing just one is beyond me. I love 'em all. Every single one!
Okay, been getting a lot of spam, with the subject "Drink this and get all your hair back by Christmas!" Um, I have a mop of hair, and haven't gotten it cut in a while, just too busy (and no Paul to remind me). Getting up in the morning, I sometime have to bat hair out of my face to put my glasses on. whenever I sweep or vacuum, it's obvious I shed a lot of hair as well. I cannot imagine, nor would I ever want all of that "back!" Sheesh!
Can you forward the spam to somebody who does want their hair back?:DQuote:

No idea, I never actually open the emails. And I am sure people who want their hair back already get plenty of emails to that effect!Quote:

Glad you are on the mend at least!
There's a recall on romaine lettuce in the Chicago area. At first it was only bagged, pre-washed salad products; but now I think it is all romaine. I bought iceberg lettuce instead, for the time being.
Scary stuff - but are they saying if you have it, just wash the lettuce before using it?
I bought store-brand oyster crackers to take to work with soup. They're not as good as the name brand. *disappointed*
To be on the safe side, I'm not using any leaf lettuce. I make my salads with cucumbers, carrots, tomatoes, onions and mushrooms.Quote:

Think of a new skill you'd like to acquire - make a list of them, Then pick one and start researching on how to accomplish it!
Happy weekend, PT friends! :) I am thankful for you!
Same back to you, Elyse!

I have a random thought. Why has Lily crawled up in the made bed under a down quilt and fallen asleep on such a hot freakin' day for 2 hrs. She's wearing a fur coat. Couldn't find her until a discovered the lump. Gonna go see if there's still breath on the mirror. I've heard they are cool in the summmer and warm in the winter. Down quilts I mean 🤷🏾♀️
Because she can! Cats need no other reason, silly human!Quote:

She's just looking at her from the floor, like la Dee daaaa, looks like a great spot, at least she's not slapping me around. Maybe it's just me....
Ha ha, course it is. Why I try to make sense out of anything cats do is beyond me, yet... I never seem to quit. 😻 Xox
I saw on the news that Koko, the gorilla who communicated with sign language, passed away. I saw a cute clip of her signing to Robin Williams, telling him to tickle her. RIP Koko.
She was such a grand soul, I am sure she is getting a standing ovation when she gets to heaven!
You are absolutely right Karen, straight to heaven and standing O's for that precious being!
Soooo... Lily chased a flying bug right into the French doors and smashed her head. Still the kitten at heart, she does not appear to be concussed, thank God, she was going full torque. We have screens but she merely slaps them open or hangs on them until they are.... shredded and replaced (sigh) I wonder if eating bugs are harmful for her. I just googled all about Koko, I wonder if they will have a funeral for her, definately a memorial plaque at least. Her caretakers must be heartbroken. The most magnificent and beautiful gorilla. I read she passed in her sleep of old age. Hope she knew how much she was loved, she was a smart one so we know she did. ❤️ I love random thoughts and Pet Talk so much. Thanks Karen, you are wonderful.
Aww, you are so welcome.
And it probably depends on the bug, but most are just a little extra crunchy protein for kitties!
She also loved kittens. How precious is that!Quote:

Those photos of you and your tiny kitten are so touching and precious.

If there are any zebra fans on PT ... take a look at the photo on www.bing.com today :)
WOW! Gorgeous!
Thanks, Elyse!

One of the things I miss about working in downtown Chicago is the summer farmers' market. They were (are) held in a couple of different locations and I would often buy flowers. Going home there would be people carrying farmers' market flowers home on the train. I saw gladiolas on sale at the supermarket, and that is one of the flowers I used to enjoy bringing home from the farmers' market. The one at federal plaza had live music on the first Friday of the month, too- so you could bring your lunch, listen to music and leave with something from the farm.
When I went to Russia with the church team there was a street market near our hotel with beautiful and inexpensive flowers, and pretty hand-made crafts.
We have a year-round farmers' market, about a 20 minute car ride from our house. I love it at any time of year.
There's a great garden store right beside it where I used to work many years ago. At lunch, I would walk over to the market and get some produce.
They all sound fabulous! We have a countless number of them around here, I just couldn't pick a favorite. Some are a lot pricier than others however. I can't wait 'till pumpkin time rolls around, gonna carve a white and an orange one this year 🎃👻💀
Been a month since I had ONE day to myself. That day is tommorrow. I feel like crying, husband was on holidays for two wks. then his uninvited Mum came out to stay for two wks. I am so relieved. I thought the bloody fun would never end 😖😶
Mother in law will be back in October and then Dec. she has announced she needs two cataracts lasered and they need to be done here as she lives in Zhiquataneo and it is more affordable and there are better docs here. They must be done one at a time and I totally understand that. There is no way I will let her drive whilst here as she will be visually impaired and I hope she doesn't drink herself blind as she will be half assed blind for a bit I imagine. That 75 yr. old woman could drink a biker and a sailor under the table....🙄 So many stairs here, 3 floors. God help me, I hope she behaves herself. I am just dreading this whole ordeal. My husband will be working and she has never really liked me for the 30 yrs. I have known her. SO sorry to whine, just imagine it will be a dreadful experience. I actually think she might want to stay for months until both eyes are done. 🤧😰😢😪😬 Just had to get that out, thanks buddies...just stressing about it 🙈 👊🏾✌️
What an absolutely wonderful and thoughtful tribute Barack Obama gave to John McCain's funeral. :love: You Americans must miss an intelligent and compassionate president like him, very much.
I certainly do. And John McCain would have made a president just as great, even though he was a political rival!Quote:

he'll lie in it. He will go down in history as one of the biggest DB'S who ever lived. No question about it. No one will feel squat when he dies except his family. Of course J.M. will always be remembered with admiration and deep respect and awe.
Please don't vote Donald freaking Trump in again peeps. Jesus, you really actually voted the freak in once.
