The Coffee House

google tells me, it is Marlene Dietrich's birthday today. Wow. Yesterday I wanted to sing one of her songs to my father but my son said: "stop practicing on us, paps." Cruel Youth with bad taste...
 
Good morning all! Hope everyone's holiday was memorable in a good way! @Gary A. She is a beautiful addition to your family. @SquarePeg Our Miss Daisy will not go #2 in our yard, so we have to load her up in a vehicle and take her for a walk at one of the local parks ( we do this 3 times per day too, btw ). It isn't fun when it's as cold as it is today, but when you see an eagle ( there were 2 actually! ) first thing, I suppose it makes it worth it. That is why I always take the camera.

Hope everyone's day is happy and warm.
That is so cool!! I'd love to see one in the wild like this.
 
took some terrific shots over the week end
 
Lots of vultures and crows around where I live. Have yet to see an eagle. Hawk yes.
Got 6.5 + 3 minutes. Planned to get check because Sister needs it. But since Monday was a holiday they come tomorrow.
Not sure how this affects things but it can't be good I reckon.

Marlene Dietrich is the Google doodle too. (Not sure if she would consider that a great honor or not! lol) She was good in Witness for the Prosecution, and in Hitchcock's Stage Fright.

You can't always go by one study or one professional's opinion; looking at a body of research gives a better idea of something I think. Our family Dr. used to talk about moderation, like cutting back on one thing or making some adjustment(s). He had good sense.
 
Love your eagle Dean. Thanks for the nice thoughts for us to have a warm and happy day - I intend to do just that, stay in, and watch hockey!
 
but there is a lot of truth in the article.

I'm not sure a vegan diet is the most healthy thing for a dog, but supplementing their diet with fresh fruit and vegetables is not a bad way to go. Interestingly there was a Vet on the news this morning talking about the benefits of giving your dog things like apples, carrots, broccoli, etc. Sadie likes carrots, and sweet potatoes (fresh and dried), apples......well actually she'll eat anything you give her LOL

Our guy eats a high quality kibble to which we add roasted chicken (white meat only) or occasionally, when we're out of chicken will add some shredded cheddar. For snacks he likes baby carrots and apple slices and the occasional milkbone mini cookies. We do give him table scraps once in a while but never a lot and always after we're done eating and have cleared the table. He loves a bit of pizza crust or a few scraps of beef or fish and just about any type of fruit or veggie except bananas. Princess has a recipe for some dog treats that are very healthy made from sweet potatoes and oats - he loves those!
 
Most of our dogs will eat pretty much ANYTHING. Home now and haven't heard anything about the check coming tomorrow.

Sounds great! Lots of us like to post roundups like this at the end of the year.

How about starting a new thread? Post your own, and invite others to share theirs? :) Maybe in the General Gallery.
 
Thinking of taking an art class. Goal would be to eventually learn to paint landscapes and florals. I have no formal art training. I can draw a tiny bit but it’s been years... Should I start with a beginner level drawing class or a beginner level watercolor class? @jcdeboever and @snowbear and anyone else on the site who also paints and or draws.
