*sigh* I'm loosing my touch. (Warning: Hi-jacked by Em)

Over the years, we've had several dogs that were serious earth-moving equipment. Pound for pound, I'll bet Top, Phipps, and Simba could have even given Sour's shovel a run for its money! I remember watching Critter planting tomatoes in the garden with them one day. He'd point to one spot, say "Mouse, Top, mouse! Dig, dig, dig!" and the three of them would make the dirt fly. Every few seconds, Critter would point to another spot, say the same thing, and they'd abandon the previous spot and attack the new one with the same energy. As quick as he went, though, the tomato plants nearly disappeared in the craters they dug.

Top liked to eat the grubs that attacked the lawn, too. We could always tell when the grubs got active, because we'd find all these billiard-ball sized holes in the lawn from her digging them up. We thought the local garden center should put on their sign, "Top says it's time to treat for grubs now!"
 
Dani (the beloved pseudo daughter who can do no wrong in the eyes of the Princess) makes buffalo wallows and then rolls in them. That is 'non dog like' behavior. Might she be a buffalo?????????
 
HELP!!!!

I am obviously feeling loquacious... and I just keep typing and typing

and then I realize

BOING!

I am typing lots and lots onto the Alaska thread.

What if these people actually know me?

What if these people run into me?!?!!!???!!!

Sure, sure, so far no one on there has said they know me. And, sure, sure, no one is from my home town.

But, my home town is know far and wide as "The Free Range Asylum" as well as "A Small Drinking town with a Fishing Problem" so maybe I will just fit in?

Hummm?


(as in, all the people around me are just as insane, if not more so, so no judgements)

I dunno

Alaskan is starting to wonder if perhaps Alaskan should censor Alaskan?

Perhaps Alaskan should actually be PC?


What will people say????????











Then again, when Alaskan first came into the frozen north, Alaskan was staying where there were no bathing facilities. Alaskan ventured into town, and strolled through a fancy art gallery while in a very stinky and sadly clothed state. Alaskan was gladly greeted (the proprietor smelled Alaskan coming, so was standing at the ready when Alaskan entered), and as Alaskan was shown the spendy wares, Alaskan was asked if Alaskan was perhaps a long time resident (since who else would be so poorly dressed, as well as so highly smelly). It was at this point that Alaskan thought "Wow! So very non-judgmental! Alaskan wishes to live here!" (this was before the cold had fully seeped into Alaskan's bones)
 
Alaskan, I'd think anyone from Alaska would understand people getting a big yak attack. I've heard that it can get so cold up there, the words can freeze as they come out of your mouth. Obviously, it would be pretty noisy in the Spring when all those conversations start thawing out. As to your question, "what would people say???" Depending on what time of year it is, by the time you could hear it, you'd have forgotten what they were talking about anyway, so who cares?!

Grubs, evidently, taste good. I was digging in the compost pile to supply grubs to a neighbor who was going fishing (and to get rid of the thumb-sized white grubs with the dark backend.) My three boys were "helping" by bending over, getting the grubs, and putting them in a pan, as I dug and pointed them out. As I worked, I was watching my youngest, then about a year and a half, toddle around the yard. I soon noticed that he was chewing something and when I asked him to spit it out, it was the thick, rubbery hide of a huge grub. The head, legs, and contents were completely gone and the hide had been thoroughly chewed, like gum, but was too tough to chew through. He was not happy to give it up, it must have tasted good......
