Maybe my greatnephew can design one. He's eight, and he's already made me a walking stick. Amazing kid, going to be a great engineer someday...

Anyway, gotta run. Supper's about ready. Take care!

enjoy! and NO tit-bits for the dogdon't want it growing into a Rottweiler eh!

No, we don't want a perfectly round dog.

you'd have to take her for a roll and not a walk then

argh! the cold/wind/rain we're having, apparently is to carry on all week. Maybe a day off Friday and then start again Saturday ?

Yuck. It's bad here, too, raining all day. Just now, the power went off for a second, made me have to restart everything.

I'm just glad it waited until now - 3 hours earlier, and I would have been in the middle of a teleconference.

I'm going to have to work really hard for the next two days.

oh bugger! "werk" interrupting your idyllic life again - it's not on!

It pays the bills.

But the first deadline is a short one, and a steep learning curve to boot. Also, most of the rest of the writers are on the West Coast, so they had more time.

"most of the rest of the writers are on the West Coast"

commonersthey NEED extra time

No, but she's got a lumberjack jacket now - it's padded, and has a pocket and everything. We probably need a St Bernard to find her if she gets lost.

fasten one of those whistling keyring finder things on her.
or even her own personal sledge

Good idea!

I've 2 predictions ()

bad snowfall -
prediction 1 - YOUR turn to take her out (both saying)
prediction 2 - Dmitri takes her out

You'd be wrong, because Elektra usually takes her out - one, because I'm usually in the middle of something, and two, because Elektra claims it helps her lose weight. Elektra, not the dog...

Shucks! Watson! foiled by Moriarty

our golden lab used to love the snow he'd sit and wait while me and my sister built a snowman for himthen he'd knock it down and sit again for repeats which we did
who trains who again

I suppose we could make really little snowmen......

Yesterday, we bought her a new toy: toy roadkill. She loves it.

"toy roadkill" ? any road kill in the States would be 10 X her size what you get ? a moose ?
