Rescued Ducks ~ Med School Question ~ Tammy ~ Fur Ball


Good 48º sunny and a few high cirrus clouds morning. Got to 85º yesterday.


This will truly make you smile. Ducks rescued from a hoarder are now in a rescue sanctuary and have never been in water before... I'm still smiling...

This from Derry Benedict (LASD ret)
MED SCHOOL

WHEN STUDENTS TOOK THE    ENTRANCE EXAM FOR MEDICAL SCHOOL, THEY WERE PERPLEXED BY    THIS  QUESTION :
                  
"REARRANGE THE LETTERS "P-N-E-S-I"  TO SPELL  OUT THE PART OF THE HUMAN BODY THAT IS MOST USEFUL WHEN ERECT."
                
THOSE WHO SPELLED "SPINE" BECAME  DOCTORS.
                
THE REST ARE IN CONGRESS.



.... and my friend Tammy Hyman, of beautiful Downtown Modesto! and mother of our rescued black lab (Mr. Big Stuff) ... Sideways. HAPPY BIRTHDAY TAMMY! Thanks for being such a good mom to Sideways, along with Gary!

Yesterday was a fund raiser for Rogue Valley Humane Society at the Golf Club in GP. (The "Fur Ball"...LOL!)

I met up with Jennifer and Mike, Bob and Micol, and Nadia.
 



We had a great time. Wine.... and dinner. We all bought raffle tickets, but the winners were at other tables. We left before the auction started. Dinner was good... salad with fresh blue cheese, veggies, ravioli, and roast beef. They also had chicken, but I don't have beef very often, so......

Also there was artist Donna Walsh (bought the black wolf painting from her) and her hubby Mike


and saw Cathy Frykman (runs Waggin' On Inn, kennel http://www.wagginoninnpetresort.com/ ).

Got home late and Dude and the Bruise were happy happy to see me!
All I know. Nuff said. Happy Sunday. Ciao.

Love the name Fur Ball for pet charity. I wonder if I could run a golf cart on the treadmill at the gym- if that counts?- nah, probably only counts towards getting me "committed".

Oregon Sue said...

Yes, "committed" is a mild word ... LOL

The duck thing was fun, once they got the hang of it, they loved it...Thanks, Dave and Pam

Black Wolf = scary
I had a scary encounter with one at 11 years old on a camping trip with YMCA summer camp people.


"Fur Ball" sounded great !
