Let me begin by telling you how much I love you. The colors you bring into my life; the cool, crisp mornings and warm afternoons; the lovely smells of autumn, all make you my favorite time of year.<br />

You have one very important job, one at which you failed miserably in 2015. It is you who conducts us gently from the humid warmth of summer to the harsh cold of winter. You are suppose to be here as a buffer between summer and winter so everyone gets used to the idea that we are moving from suffocating in the heat of summer to freezing our tushes off in the depth winter.<br />

What the heck happened here? You have hung on for way too long, you keep showing up in the middle of what should be a cold snap and then disappear confusing everyone and everything from cherry trees to caterpillars.<br />
<br />
It is cold and snowy today and I am freezing, freezing more than ever because you paid a visit last week. I feel sorely let down by your lack of compassion. Next year I'd really appreciate it if you'd do you job, guide us into winter, linger a little, then let go and wait your turn.<br />
<br />
And if you could talk to Spring about arriving a little early or at least on time, I'd really be happy.<br />
<br />
Your faithful friend,<br />
Buddy<br />

Let me start out by saying I don't like to shop.<br />
There is nothing about the art of shopping that appeals to me.<br />
I like hunting, I like digging, I like sniffing where other dogs pee, I do not like shopping.<br />
<br />
The only brick and mortar stores I like are those that allow dogs and keep treats just for me under the counter (<a href="http://www.gandermountain.com/" target="_blank">Gander Mountain</a> and <a href="http://www.ruralking.com/" target="_blank">Rural King</a>!!). I am of two minds about on-line shopping...while I can do it in the privacy of my own home which I like, there are no treats to be had from the computer which I don't like.<br />
<br />
So when I became a FAB fan, no one was more surprised than I. <a href="http://fab.com/">fab.com</a><br />
<br />

<br />
I came across it by accident.<br />
An advertizement flitted across my computer screen for....get this...Glow-in-the-Dark Apple Skins. <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
And I thought to myself....How cool is that? I can go into the kitchen in the middle of the night and get an apple for a snack (a healthy snack at that) and I won't have to turn on the light.<br />
<br />
Color me surprised when I clicked on the link (<a href="http://fab.com/">fab.com</a>) and it was an advertizement for products for Apple Computer/Phone/iPod/iPad stuff. It was a great disappointment when I realized my dream of glow-in-the-dark apples flew out the window.<br />
<br />
The disappointment didn't last long once I began looking around (not shopping...just looking). FAB has some fabulous stuff, fun stuff, colorful stuff, arty stuff.<br />
<br />
Take a look...<br />

Ten o'clock Sunday morning. <br />
OlderMale, wearing a ball cap and black shirt, sitting in a short lawn chair in a tent, waiting for the doors to open, on the second day of a two day art fair where he was trying (not entirely successfully) to sell his photography.<br />
TallThinYoungGuy, stopping by to say hello and ask a question.<br />
<br />
TallThinYoungGuy: <br />
Um...this is going to sound funny....but...do you drink?<br />
<br />
OlderMale:<br />
Not really. Why?<br />
<br />
TallThinYoungGuy:<br />
Um...I was looking for someone who had a beer or something.<br />
<br />
OlderMale:<br />
Well, I do have one beer.<br />
<br />
TallThinYoungGuy:<br />
Um...can I have it? I mean, until the stores open and I can buy one for myself.<br />
<br />
OlderGuy:<br />
Why do you need a beer? <br />
<br />
TallThinYoungGuy:<br />
'Cause I need something to take the edge off. I'm working at this stupid art fair, I'm not selling a damn thing (pottery), I don't even want to be here, I have two tests to study for and a paper to write, which is never gonna get done, 'cause I am stuck at this damn art fair, and I just need a beer. Please? I'll give you three beers when the stores open if you just give me your beer now.<br />
<br />
For those who are curious, the legal drinking age in the state where this happened is 21. TallThinGuy got his beer and I suppose he survived the day, though I don't know how he did on his tests or if his paper ever got done. He did not trade three beers for one. He did however trade for something else.<br />

I know....<br />
Not a dog....<br />
But frog rhymes with dog...<br />
(does that help?) <br />
And....<br />
It's pretty darn cool!<br />

I saw <a href="http://www.facebook.com/IFeakingLoveScience" target="_blank">this picture</a> on FaceBook...<br />
Which I thought was totally amazing...<br />
Especially when I found out it is the picture...<br />
Of a hummingbird's tongue.<br />
<br />
Wow!<br />
<br />
Then someone posted this <a href="http://www.sciencefriday.com/video/05/26/2011/tale-of-two-tongues.html" target="_blank">link.</a><br />
<br />Wow, Wow!!<br />
<br />
Go...<br />
Watch the video...<br />
Listen to the music (and explanation)...<br />
Become enlightened...<br />
Find out about hummingbird tongues<br />
<br />
AND <br />
<br />
Find out why Spencer makes such a mess when he gets a drink of water...<br />
You'll be amazed.<br />
<br />

I've been known to explore the contents of a trashcan, and it is well known that Spencer has experienced some epic house-trashing episodes, but I think we could learn a thing or two from these dogs. <br />

June 2010 the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/King_of_Kings_%28statue%29" target="_blank">King of Kings</a> statue in front of the Solid Rock Church in Monroe, Ohio was struck by lighting and <a href="https://sites.google.com/site/myawesomewebfinds/big-butter-jesus-burns" target="_blank">burnt to a crisp</a>.<br />
(This is not the funny part) <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
I am sure the church members were very upset, and I can empathize with their loss. However, even before its demise, this icon of the Interstate was the butt of jokes.<br />

Someone with a delicious sense of humor decided to give the new Jesus a proper comedic christening. <br />

<div style="font-family: inherit;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"></span></span><b><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;">While being hauled to its new home at the Solid Rock Church in Monroe,
the 50 foot tall statue of Jesus was trapped as it was being driven
through a McDonalds drive-thru. One outstretched arm of the statue
caught on a statue of Ronald McDonald causing it to shift, stand
semi-upright and lodge between a drive thru window and a McDonaldland
Playland.<br /> </span></span><span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></b>

<b><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0px;">“It
was the loudest, craziest, most disturbing thing I have ever seen,”
said McDonald’s employee Darren Bick. “One minute I’m typing an order
into the computer, the next minute there is a thunderous noise, the
building shakes, and the face of Jesus is pressed staring at me through
my drive thru window. I’m going to have nightmares. If I ever sleep
again.”</span></span></b></div>
<div style="-moz-font-feature-settings: normal; -moz-font-language-override: normal; font-family: inherit; font-size-adjust: none; font-stretch: normal; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;">

<b><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0px;">The
driver of the truck had attempted to maneuver the vehicle through,
despite turns that were obviously too tight and a warning sign
indicating that he did not have enough clearance. “I know I should have
just parked and gone inside,” said driver Fred Holland. “But I truly
thought I was going to make it. I don’t know what it was. I think that I
just had this feeling that, with him, all things are possible.”</span></span></b></div>

<b><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0px;">Local
authorities said that extracting the enormous statue will be a very
difficult task. “This is too big to just get out the jaws of life,” said
city contractor Raymond Moore. “And it is too delicate to just try to
ram it through with a bulldozer. We may have to break it into nuggets.
However, I am certain if we left him alone Jesus will ascend from this
predicament in a few days.”</span></span></b></div>

Once upon a time Ronnie was traveling with her family. As they sat in their motel breakfast bar enjoying their Continental Breakfast of juice and waffles, a woman carrying a baby walked in followed by three girls.<br />
<br />
The woman sat the girls at a table and still holding the baby began filling glasses of juice and placing them on the table. Moments later two more older girls came ambling in and it was obvious they belonged to the group because every last one of them had red hair ranging from the mother"s deep auburn to the baby's strawberry blonde. They made a stunning group, especially when the father joined them. He was bald - obviously a side effect from living with so many redheaded women. <i>Ruadh gu brath!!</i><br />

Oh my goodness...<br />
Oh my goodness...<br />
I am now BFF's with<br />
<a href="http://www.conservapedia.com/File:Janet_Napolitano.gif" target="_blank">Janet Napolitano</a>! <br />
Don't know who that is?<br />
WELL...<br />
let me tell you...<br />
my new <b>best</b> buddy....<br />
is none other than....<br />
the ...<br />

<br />
How about them apples?!<br />
<br />
Just HOW did this come about?? <br />
She must follow my blog and is a big fan because Janet sent me an e-mail.<br />
She loves me so much, she is worried that I haven't claimed my money from the Nigerian government. (I copied her e-mail below)<br />
We a talking about fifteen million five hundred thousand dollars so I can understand her concern. <br />

See how much she loves me? <br />
I might use some of my money to buy her a <a href="http://www.proflowers.com/" target="_blank">bouquet of flowers</a>. <br />
<br />
I am a teeny tiny bit worried though, I think Janet needs to go back to <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sandia_High_School" target="_blank">Sandia High School</a> in <a href="http://www.cabq.gov/" target="_blank">Albuquerque, NM </a>and ask to take her English classes over or give her diploma back. If she managed to graduate and not learn basic spelling and grammar there is something seriously wrong with the school system.<br />
<br />
I only make this comment because I gotta look out for my girl Janet.<br />
<br />
<br />
We'll be hanging out on a regular basis I am sure. <br />
Come join is and I'll introduce you.<br />

FROM KARL'S BLOG<br />
A couple of months ago I came up with an
idea I have had in mind for years. I just did not know what I could use
it for. But then I did a test with sunglasses, and it really turned out
great. So I sent an image with the test to Plaza Magazine, and a week
later I started shooting.
<br />
It was a real challenge to ”sculpture” the faces of some classic
wearers of sunglasses. It took me 6 days to shoot the 6 faces, and
around 1200 sticks was used.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Georges_Seurat" target="_blank">Georges Seurat</a> would be proud. <br />

I have a confession.<br />
<br />
(don't I look innocent?)<br />
<br />
I love my humans, and I love Spencer<br />
<br />
BUT<br />
<br />
I love my sleep too<br />
<br />
So.....last night I ran David out of bed so I could sleep there.<br />
<br />
AND<br />
<br />
I used Spencer to do it.<br />
<br />
I feel so bad (not really) <br />
<br />
<br />
First let me say that I could never do this with Ronnie, she doesn't allow me on the furniture at her house so there is no way she would let me sleep in her bed. Fortunately for me David is <strike>easier</strike> less strict.<br />
<br />
I can, and do, sleep just about anywhere in the house, but last night I wanted to sleep with David.<br />
<br />
My first try was at 2am, but I miscalculated and didn't get to the bed in time. So I had to enlist Spencer's help. (poor <strike>stupid</strike> gullible Spencer).<br />
<br />
I waited until 4am, Then I convinced Spencer to ask to go out. Since Spencer is so much bigger than I am, when he asks to go out he makes noise just wagging his tail. While Spencer was distracting David with the "take me out" ploy, I hid in the closet.<br />
<br />
When they went downstairs, I jumped on the bed. By the time David made it back upstairs, I was sound asleep....right smack in the middle of the bed. It was so cozy!! I'm such a dog.<br />
<br />
David is so <strike>easy</strike> <strike>gullible</strike> sweet that he didn't even try to move me over or make me leave. He just crawled in bed beside me and let me sleep. Happy dog. I love my human. <br />
<br />
I wonder if I can get away with it again tonight? Oh Spencer......<br />
<br />
Love,<br />
Buddy <br />

<br />
<br />
I started out in search of LIP ART because I thought<a href="http://www.oddee.com/item_98228.aspx" target="_blank"> this picture</a> was so cool and I loved the lips <a href="http://www.smosh.com/smosh-pit/photos/craziest-lip-art-world-pics" target="_blank">on this site</a>.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
BUT THEN...<br />
Google turned up all these other sites...<br />
NOT about lip art BUT about the art of kissing <br />
I found out that in human history kissing wasn't always part of normal behavior<br />
AND <br />
I found out <b>where</b> the ubiquitous "they" think kissing started<br />
(<a href="http://liberalarts.tamu.edu/html/news--first-kiss-how-we-learned-to-lock-lips.html" target="_blank">would you believe INDIA??</a>) <br />
<br />

<a href="http://www.wikihow.com/Kiss" target="_blank">Five ways to kiss</a> (with pictures!)<br />
Apparently kissing isn't just kissing,<br />
there are different ways to do it. <br />

Kissing <a href="http://www.links2love.com/teens_kissing.htm" target="_blank">EXPLAINED</a> .<br />
<br />
Who knew the simple act of placing one set of lips on another set of lips could be so complicated.<br />
Who to kiss<br />
Where to kiss, both location and placement<br />
How long to kiss<br />
How to hold your mouth/tongue/teeth<br />
It is all too much for me.<br />
Happy to be a dog and just lick those I like. <br />

If you pay attention to celestial happenings....<br />
<br />
like a full moon<br />
<br />
or two<br />
<br />
in the month of August<br />
<br />
and if the weather cooperates<br />
<br />
you might actually get to see<br />
<br />
a full moon<br />
<br />
or two<br />
<br />
in the month of August<br />

I am wearing a blue bandage on my paw and it hurts to walk.<br />
It hurts a little.....enough so I have to limp. <br />
It has slowed me down a bit but that is not a bad thing because I like to sniff (a lot!) when I walk my humans. <br />
I tried to get sympathy and it worked for a bit but I think they are on to me. I thought a shoe might make me look a bit stylish.<br />
