The Coffee House

[Gary A.]

Had a strange experience when I got my annual flu shot today. When the nurse pulled the needle out I became a bleeder for some unknown reason. Not a little bit but all over the nurse and down my arm. Never had any shot do tbat before. Fortunately it stopped within a couple minutes.

You hit/nicked a vessel.

Maggie is wearing Mary Lou and Gary out. In our twilight years, Mary Lou had turn into a couch potato ... Gary had turned into a couch ... Cook had turned into a couch potato ... we were all very happy as the Potato family. Maggie is not a potato.

A furry fluffy energy ball.

Love the curiois Cook casting a huge black dog shadow!

@Gary A. We experienced that same thing when Sadie Mae came. It's sort of like having a toddler on a high sugar diet in the house. You'll adjust ----- eventually

Dave comes to the dog thing with 9 of them sharing the house with us.
The two youngest are the balls of energy.
But the two oldest bark the most.

Dave has made a startling discovery. He knows now why he does not like his Sigma 70-300 mm F4-5.6 APO Macro anymore.
The rear element is hazy. I suppose it COULD be mold but I do not have a UV flashlight with which to try and eradicate it.

This is why Leo has cats.

Nine is a ton of dogs. You could field a baseball team. Wheatens, (Cook and Maggie in this case), rarely bark and they do not shed. The only loose dog hair in the house is on the dog brush). Cook only barked when there was a strange animal in the yard, a 'possum or raccoon ... or when she wanted to play. Gary has heard Maggie whine, (the first two night after being sent to bed alone), but so far no barking.

Cook would communicate by shaking her dog tags and clinking them together. If she wanted you attention on a matter or if she was responding to a comment or question, she'd shake her head and clink her tags. Gary thinks this started when Gary and Mary Lou would arrive home. Cook would be on the other side of the door waiting and would hear us clink our keys while we opened the door. Cook made a similar noise on the other side of the door in response.

Actually, Gary was thinking of you and your pup. Gary figured you experienced something similar. Thanks for the heads-up.

Maggie only has an On-Off switch, so it is either pedal-to-the-metal or she's recharging her batteries. Pups are wonderful creatures. Gary is in the kitchen sipping his first cup of coffee. Maggie likes to curl up at Gary's feet. After a spell, when Gary feels safe, warm and protected ... she practices her terrier/vermin instincts with her razor sharp little puppy teeth on Gary's unsuspecting toes.

Waiting to Attack

Gary hasn't any cats because Mary Lou is extremely allergic to cats. Just keyboarding "cat" gives Mary Lou hives.

You could dip the lens in a fungicide.

Goddamnit Tom Petty.

I know.

And now they're saying he's not quite dead yet. And because my brain goes to inappropriate humor when I'm sad, all I can think of is Monty Python.

Bring out your dead...

I'm no dead yet...

Ye' soon will be...

This makes me sad

 

[davidharmier60]

That particular lens has always been rather a slow focus hunt type anyhow.
But I would hate to trash it.
The Monty Python thing is funny.
Tom Petty is not.

Sadie Mae by virtue of being 4 when we got her, was a little more settled, but Britts by nature are HIGH ENERGY. We got Millie as a 12 week old, for the first year of her life she thought her name was "MILLIE DAMMIT". Into everything, AT ONCE.

Maggie is a Terrorist ... Terrier. Fortunately for the Potato Family, Wheaten are the most calm of Terriers. We looked for a rescue but couldn't find any. Wheatens are few and far between.
