Traveling Gnome Needs Better Directions

Spotted this guy out in the middle of nowhere at at nature preserve.

I guess when nature calls, at least he's ready.

This one's for you, Jane!

Obviously welcoming you and Fremont to Illinois!

I passed it today on my way to a dog club event.

Got Enough Room There, Formby?

I have canine guests this week, so in addition to Formby and Lilly, I also have a Lab and a Rottweiler staying here. So, how is it the smallest dog in the house commandeers the largest bed in the house.

OOPS!

The downside to being self employed - No vision insurance.

Dropping old glasses one too many times + complicated prescription 

= shiny new pair of glasses at a cost of $710

Happy St. Patrick's Day!

Thanks, Lyle, for the T-shirt!

Looks like someone needs a beer before getting into the spirit.

Poor Formby. Clueless, as always.

Ewww...

I should probably have the growth checked out. It's a little creepy.

Ahhh....the Sights of Spring

What a beautiful day off. The predicted rain stayed away, the crocus are blooming in the front yard, and a trip to the nature center showed the turtles out of hibernation, basking in the sun. And in one of the bluebirds houses we donated, a pair of bluebirds already settling in.

Guppies Anyone?

The guppies were feeling upstaged by the other pets' time on the blog. Guppies, holding true to their reputation, are very prolific. So, if you need some, just let me know. All colors and sizes to choose from.

Countdown - 25 days!

And hoping every conversation can be started and ended with either "oui" or "merci."

Flying Fox

With it's dangly legs, Lilly's new toy came with a tag describing it as having a 

"Flappability Factor of 10."

Any dog owner knows what that means. 

It was only minutes before Foxman launched through the air, landing on the fireplace mantle. 

Wish my new flatscreen TV some luck!
