Good 29º dog's water frozen morning. The moon phase
today is a Waning Gibbous.
Looks like as far as weather goes we will have 40%
today then 50% tonight then 70% tomorrow chance of rain, dry on Friday and
Saturday and rain on Sunday. Good thing, as Sami's 5th birthday party is
Saturday! The Princess can't have rain on her party!
Yesterday was another 'computer' day. I installed the
printer/fax, Word Perfect, Business Cards, Roxio, greeting card programs, etc.

Four years ago PJ, on her way home from a
pet-sitting project, found a big black lab on the freeway off-ramp. She called me
and we got him into my car. I would have kept him in a heartbeat, he was
BEAUTIFUL and one of the best looking black labs I had ever seen. But, my back
was a problem and I was due for back surgery so my friends Tammy and Gary in
Modesto said their dog had died January 27th and they were looking for another
dog to be a pal to Jaco, their chocolate lab. Perfect! I nicknamed the dog, Mr.
Big Stuff.
( Click here: Mr. Big Stuff Sung
by Jean Knight - YouTube ... this was sung in jest often by a ret LASD,
Bobby St Clair... a very funny guy!)
Anyway I drove him to the half-way
point, Redding, and met up with Tammy and Gary and gave them Mr. Big. He and
Jaco are best friends, have to be touching when sleeping, play and enjoy
life.
Mr. Big is now Sideways. Gary named him
that because of the way he sits! LOL.
Historically this date...
1951 – The Twenty-second Amendment to the United States
Constitution, limiting Presidents to two terms, is
ratified.
.... lets see how long it will be before the baboon in
the White House gets that changed to unlimited!
2010 – An earthquake measuring 8.8 on the
Richter
scale strikes central parts of Chile leaving over 500 victims, and
thousands injured. The quake triggered a tsunami which struck Hawaii shortly
after.
And births this date include....
Williams said goodbye to Hollywood around 1970 and followed his interests
into a job in the actual world of law enforcement, spending 25 years as a
reserve officer with the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department, and also
working at the San Diego Police Department and the Los Angeles Police
Department.He said he formed a mountain-rescue team, taking dead and injured
people out of the hills around Topanga Canyon, and worked with a partner as a
plainclothes officer on Malibu Beach."We had more felony arrests than any other
team," he said.But there are some mysteries relating to Williams' second career
that he will not discuss, like the seven years he spent working for the federal
government."I'm not supposed to talk about that," he said.
Van was in the first academy class I was in, but because of the "strict
moral code" (LOL) the department had and I was "living without the benefit of
clergy" with Jerry, I was dropped until we were either not living together or
married! (After the wedding nups I went back)
UGH! She didn't even have a chance!
Yesterday I was watching a young coyote up in the pasture. I was in the
house and when I coughed he heard it! What ears they have! He turned and looked
in my direction~
All I know.Nuff said. Happy Hump Day. Ciao.

Nothing starts the day like a good cup of coffee and this blog.
Best
We can't thank you enough! There are no words for this wonderful family member you have given us! We love you- T. G. J. and S. aka Mr. Big Stuff!
Sue,
Interesting story about Van Williams. Also I was stunned by the "strict moral code" at LASD back then. Wow! How in the world did they find out about your living arrangements?
How things have changed, huh?
I am always amazed at the hearing that dogs have. Lola and Delilah hear things we don't hear. Even when someone walks up on the porch before ringing the door bell.
That cake looks amazing!!!
XO Trisha
T, there was only a 'code' for those who would follow it. The Sheriff would ask secretaries to do the Clinton Oval Office caper!! They find out about you when they do a background check....talk to your friends, neighbors, and family members. See it was wrong for me, being unmarried and cohabitating, but at the same time the DI's in the academy were doing the horizontal mambo with cadets! Come on. Double standard all around and it's never changed. Look at Sheriff Caca getting the Sheriff of the Year award. GAG.
Thank you ladies for you kind comments. xoxo
I remember how you fell in love with Mr. Big Stuff, aka Sideways and how much you hated to part with him. You did the right thing by him and he has a wonderful life with his 'forever' family. I wonder if sitting like that is a Lab thing as Jake sits like that too most of the time.
Poor Chelsea Clinton, no she didn't have a chance. Not at all like that beautiful coyote that smiled at you from the meadow :)
Have a great day and stay warm :) Erika
Thanks E, I will stay warm for sure! The sun is out now and it's a balmy 50 degrees!!! xo
Good afternoon. In a rush as usual.
Sideways is darling and I am so proud of you & P,J. for finding him a wonderful home. I hope that coyote was not looking for bruiser.
got to run Hope your day is good. Love you, Patty
