I have to go off on human beings today and our bizarro reactions (to..what? puppies? cute dogs?). As I’ve said before, I did some concentrated work with Elli greeting strangers. She’s done really well, but I’ve gotten some of the weirdest damn reactions to her. [I forgot to tell you the stimulus for people's reactions. What [...]

“And you see those? Those are chick-ens. We’re not allowed [...] Here’s some new pictures of Elli. They are so hard to get!! She’s either in my face or too far away and moving, always moving. I have lots of electronic files of blue & [...] Someone PLEASE tell me what my pup has against the poor hibiscus near the back door? None of the dogs has ever shown an interest in it. Youngest chose and planted it as a preschooler so it’s kind of dear to me. Elli just can’t leave the damned thing alone. She’s digging up the roots!

LONG trip back from Hawaii with an overnight flight from San Francisco to Chicago and morning drive home to central Illinois on Monday. I still [...] ugh…so much to write… sorry I didn’t write sooner. I slept instead!

Maybe I won’t skip the part where I [...] I was wrong. This post isn’t about Elli. I’ll tell you about Elli when she’s here. There’s a preview up there in the header bar somewhere. ^ This post is about getting ready for Elli and arctic mornings. Today is an arctic morning. The sun is peeking over the horizon in those winter wash pastel shades of [...] |
