The Old Folks Home

There are so many dogs around us that if one starts howling, they all do. Pretty funny really. Our Hound/border collie mix has it down pat though, He throws his head up, points his nose to the sky and cuts loose! Usually I start baying along with him and that really gets them going, so yeah, I'm weird also and proud of it!

I think the funniest thing I did was the day we were walking out in the timber after watching a Big Foot movie where the so called scientist was pounding on a tree trunk with a stick and then yell "WHOOP!" at the top of his lungs.

So naturally I grabbed a limb, whacked the nearest tree and yelled "WHOOP!". My poor husband who is pretty much used to me being 'weird' asked me what I was doing and I told him I was checking to see if there were any big foot around. He just shook his head and told me to walk ahead of him 10 feet.

That sounds fun did you get a response to your tree beat ?

The snow of '67 in Chicago was a traffic stopper- sorry mind fails me now regarding inches but cars were abandoned on the bridge. At home people in neighborhood took turns digging out parking places(almost no one had a garage) and pushing cars into them.
My sister came to fetch me home from my grooming shop and we nearly got stuck on the bridge - glad she did. Otherwise I probably would still be there.

Village I live in for 51 years now, excellent snow removal services except driveways- can be a nightmare themselves.

Was it this one?

Our second Doberman would "sing along" if my husband started howling. I'd join in too, and we made quite a racket.

Miss you, Raven. RIP. And Shadow too.

Cockers (when I had them) loved to sing along also. If I announced "EGGY" a rare treat for them (usually reserved for their birthdays) they would be howling up a storm. Personally I would prefer ice cream and cake for myself.

Fortunately not. If I had I would have been double timing it back to the house for a change of clothing.

Still it's fun to act goofy every now and again.

Going to go shopping and buy feed today. I wonder how many bags of feed fit in an SUV.

Fortunately not. If I had I would have been double timing it back to the house for a change of clothing.

I always used to have a great time dressing up and making all kinds of noises for Howl o ween !

We can get 6 feed bags in the Kia Soul we have
but only 2 shavings
