Looking together in the same direction.

Looking together in the same direction.
Sea otters hold hands while they sleep so they don't drift apart.

Pay attention.

Be astonished.

Tell about it."

A tired dog is a good dog. Maybe someday.


     Someone just told me about this medley of "Over the Rainbow/What a Wonderful World" by Israel Kamakawiwo'ole.  I am behind the times, I know, as the popular Hawaiian singer died 15 years ago.  It is a  beautiful version.  
     But I am old school.  Louis Armstrong's version of "What a Wonderful World" is the classic I love best.



     I took Charleigh to the dog park today.  She really needed it.  She has been getting into trouble this week.  Twice she took plastic lids out of the sink and ate them, once puking it back up on the bedroom carpet at 4 AM.  Yesterday she stole a banana from the fruit bowl and ate it, right after she had eaten her dinner. I've been walking her a lot, but it doesn't take the place of a good old romp in the park.  A tired dog is a good dog.  Now she's napping peacefully on the couch.
