New Camera

Lately, every time I wanted a picture for the blog I didn't have my camera, and every time I took a picture with the cell phone, I ended up apologizing for it. So when Woot had a good price on an Casio Exilim camera, I bought it. It arrived today. It's a good size for [...]

Snow Dog at the Dog Park

Snow Dog We had a good snow sculpture snow last week, and someone made this dog at the dog park. I've been researching cell phones with better cameras, and cameras that fit better in a pocket, and haven't found anything for less than $80, which seems frivolous. But I might get annoyed enough at the [...]

Sunny eats Pine Needles

My recorder teacher likes decorating his house for Christmas, and has been out of town for a large fraction of the time since then, so the pine garland he wound around his bannister is still there, or was until last night. While I was putting on my coat to go home, Sunny suddenly started eating [...]

Pictures from Christmas in Fall River

They had a tree: And a crêche: They put more energy into decorating than I do, so there are also things like this mobile: They also do a lot of baking. Here's the baba after its second rising: I wasn't in a good position to take pictures at the party when all 40 people were [...]

Dog park conversation

One of the people I talked to at the dog park last night was complaining about her neighbor, who, although he lives in a densely populated part of one of the most densely populated cities in the country, has decided that he should never have to hear a dog bark. Her dog is a very [...]

Sunny takes a bath

Dog pill popping party

I went to play tuba in the Wakefield Summer Band last night, and the dogs had a party. They knocked the bottle of liver-flavored Glucosamine pills off my bedside table, and chewed the plastic. They must have eaten about 100 pills. Then they both had diarrhea this morning. I'm dealing with Monte's skin problems by [...]

Animal kingdom

The dogs are settling in to a better routine. We all have more fun when they take their walks separately, so they decide who goes first. This morning it was Sunny who went first, and we saw this beetle on the sidewalk. Sorry, just the cell phone camera; I didn't have the real camera with [...]

Isabelle the iguana

Unfortunately I didn't get a picture of her, but she looks a bit like this one from google images: Sunny and I were hanging out on a beautiful evening in the park when a neighbor walked up with her on top of his head and introduced her as Isabelle. We'd met the human before because [...]

Dog Parks again

A few years ago, I made a post about the dog park that Sunny and I were going to. It was a big part of my life for several years, but last year, they closed it for refurbishing at about the time I was spending a lot of time on Bonnie's estate. So I stopped [...]
