Parker HATES when we...

...watch the Dog Whisperer. But if Cesar is to believed, Parker secretly loves it.

Time will tell, but his Diet Coke binges on the couch are soon to be over.

Don't you wish your puppy was a poodle

Oh the fun you can have.

Parker has a problem with the White Stuff

We made need an intervention.

Why I hate it here sometimes

The current temperature tight now is minus 6°F. That is the straight temperature not counting wind chill. According to the weather service we have had a 45°F swing in the last 24 hours. It is only going to get colder tomorrow!

I couldn't even talk poor Parker to get out of his bed to go outside. It is that freaking cold.

Luckily tonight we get to go out for a basketball game and choir & band concerts.

Sometimes our little Oreo doesn't know how lucky he is!

This new article from the LA Times expresses something I have heard about before - DOG RACISM. Black dogs are picked out at pounds and Humane Societies in much lower number than their light counterparts. I know Parker sometimes feels uncomfortable being the only black man among a bunch of crackers, the pepper to our salt, but he puts up with it because we saved him from the needle.

Walking with Parker

One of Parker's favorite activities is going for a walk - so unusual for a dog, I know.
He likes seeing the sights, like our own outdoor amphitheatre.
But occasionally something will get him real excited. Just look at the burning passion and desire in those eyes. Yes, that's right.
Free (and Tasty) roadside treats. So the next time you are annoyed by the abundance of goose poop on the sidewalks, just remember that somebody is in doggie heaven.
I also have another found money update as I scored a nickel. I am now up 7 cents!

Not that there is anything wrong with it.
