Strangely hairy faces

by



It’s the oddest thing, for some reason I’ve been noticing men with long white beards walking around in crowds lately. No I’m not seeing Santa Claus every where. I’m just seeing an abundance of men with extraordinarily long white beards everywhere.


Along with men with long beards, I’ve also seen a few with strange long mustaches.

I haven’t seen as many of these as I have the long beards but the odd mustaches are stranger. I mean, they look kind of like the guy in this photo!

Or if not full elaborate sides like that, twisted handlebar mustaches.

Is this some kind of new trend in male facial hair. Are men growing out really long beards again? If it’s a new trend can I vote NO?

My Labrador grew Antlers!

My poor dog. I bought Christmas antlers this year just so I could take pictures of her wearing them.

I don’t know why I did it. I just wanted to see her in them. Hey – she looks good in red doesn’t she?

Actually she really didn’t mind wearing the antlers at all, as long as they were behind her ears she actually seemed to enjoy wearing them. She didn’t try to take them off and walked around the house proudly with them on for over an hour.

Have you put antlers or a Santa hat or some kind of costume on your dog?

My dog is a massive ham

by

My dog is such a ham. She’s fairly obedient but she’s also very playful. Now that it’s been snowing outside she’s enjoying going outside and playing in the snow. It must be nice to have a fur coat! It’s been cold here so I don’t go out for long with her, but we go out often … she doesn’t show any signs of being too cold though.

I wish I had one of those tiny hand held camcorders because as I said my dog is a total ham. I know I could film her daily. For example, when we go outside in the snow she does this face plow thing with her behind up in the air as she pushes her face through the snow. It’s kind of funny. I know it makes others laugh when they see her.

She also likes to find some clean snow to roll around in. I guess this is her version of doggy snow angels?

Inside the house she’s just as much of a ham as inside. When she wants to play with a toy- ie have us slide her bone across the floor at her (dog hockey) she starts jumping up and down in place as if she’s on a trampoline. It’s so cute. I’m pretty sure that if I managed to get it on tape and posted it on Youtube it would be a popular video because I haven’t seen very many dogs that jump like she does.

Do you have a dog that’s a real ham? She can be a bit of a pain as she demands attention, but I have to say she enriches my life.

Birds on a wire

by

I saw something the other day that I don’t think I’ve ever seen before …

I was standing in my kitchen after having just fed our dog. I was waiting for her to finish eating and then I was going to take her outside to do her business. As I waited for her I stood looking out my kitchen window into the backyard.

As I gazed out I noticed two birds on the electrical wires leading to our house. One bird was on the top wire and the other was below it on the second wire. The second bird flew up and looked like it was trying to land on the first birds back. He only did it for a few seconds and then he’d fly down to the second wire for a few more seconds before repeating his move.

It only took me a few seconds of seeing this odd repetitive behavior to realize that the birds were mating. LOL

It certainly didn’t look like a very safe place to mate! I kept thinking that both birds were going to fall off the wire each time the male landed on the females back for a few seconds. Hmm I wonder if they have life insurance quotes for birds? It looked dangerous … but, hey, maybe these birds were thrill seekers.

I guess the male visited the female about 10 times before he flew off into another yard. The female waited around on the electrical wire for a few minutes before she flew off in the opposite direction.

No cuddles for them!

I felt a little bit like a voyeur watching their intimate moments, but hey … they were right out in the open. Have you ever seen birds on a “wire”?
