Very realistic!

If you have ever been owned by a cat, you know that this is very likely to happen! Enjoy.....

Been awhile!

I haven't posted anything in quite some time. I'm sure there is a lot of open weeping in the blog world due to the silence of Three Dog Blog! So much has happened this year. Work has been extremely busy, but I enjoy almost every minute of it. My beloved Katie died Septembe 12. She threw off a huge blood clot, probably from a tumor - the neurologist wasn't sure. I had to take her all the way to U.C. Davis. They have absolutely wonderful vets up there, and they treated both of us with graciousness, honor and respect. Katie knew I was with her at the end, and that meant the world to me. No more pain for her.

I have a new pup, his name is Burt. Bobbie nicknamed him Burtles, and that is what I usually call him. He went to the vet last week, and I called him Burtles - then they started calling him Burtles and couldn't stop! One of the assistants told me she has never had a pet come in named Burt! He is a perfect Burt, too. He is tan and black like a German Shepherd. He has big ears, and weighs around 16 pounds. He is full of energy most of the time, and is soooo sweet when he is sleepy. He is a cuddle puppy, too. He loves to play with his toys and his favorite thing is to make them squeak. Burt was an abused stray, just like Katie. He is petrified of having anything around his neck.

Tomorrow I leave for Stephenson Ranch for Thanksgiving. I am looking forward to seeing everyone, but pretty worried about Burt. It will be his longest car trip, and he gets nervous because he thinks he is being taken away again. I hope he does fine meeting everybody, especially his cousin TashToo. I haven't met her yet, but her photos show she is a beautiful Siberian Husky.

Well, that's it for now, just wanted to start somewhere with getting back into blogging.

Happy Thanksgiving, everybody!!

You won't hear/see this nowadays

This is talent:

Thought for the Day

Be kinder than necessary, for everyone you meet is fighting some kind of battle.

Another really cool thing!

Say you're driving along the freeway. A song comes on the radio. You ask yourself, what is the title of that song? Well, all you have to do is use your cell phone! Simply dial 1-866-411-song. Hold the phone to the speaker for 15 seconds, close the phone. In less than a minute you will receive a text message of the song's title! It really works!

How Cool Is This?
