It’s Wednesday! Time for some art! Since it’s a snoozy day here at my place, this little ditty seems as good as any. Don’t you just love frog dog tootsies?

rrrrrrOOOOOOOOO to Misaki!
Okeydokey! If you’re jumping out of your chair to find out where I was on Saturday, wait no longer.
Misaki got it right – Genova, Italy! It’s a very pretty place, as you can see.
I went everywhere….I hopped into the sea, strolled along the sandy shoreline, scooted around on a scooter, sampled a little seafood and generally had a grand time.
NOT.
Wish I could really travel like that. To Europe and Bermuda and California. Sigh.
Congratulations Misaki! Hop on over and visit my worldly friend.
And don’t forget, Sweet William the Scot and Wallace and Samuel. They guessed Italy. And that’s correct, too! Check out their blogs, too.
Speaking of hopping over somewhere, don’t forget to bookmark the pet bloggers’ mall where you’ll soon be able to shop for neat stuff (including my own)!

OK. Whew. What a journey! But it was worth it.
What’s your guess for today? Come back Monday and I’ll tell you.

Oh boy. It just turned hot here….so hot that I’m reminded of this fun foto of my pal Dougall who lives in New South Wales. This foto sums up my thoughts exactly. Need to stay cool in this hot stuff. (I collapsed on the air conditioning grate the other day after a walk only to find it WASN’T TURNED ON. Whassup peeps? Can’t you see I’m roasting?)
Hey, while we’re on the subject of Dougall, keep your paws crossed. He’s got a growth that’s going to be removed soon. If we all think pawsitively for him, it’ll just be some little benign thing. Hop on over and leave his peeps a comment. To help them keep calm about it all.

Thanks for the Happy Mother’s Day wishes for the peep yesterday. She thought that was very nice of you guys.
Not being a parent myself, Mother’s Day and Father’s Day kind of get lost on me. With no puppies for me and my girlfriend Sniglet – the hottie seen here – I just go with the flow and live life according to Stuart. But, being a son, I do know how important it is to appreciate the peeps. So, I acted all needy yesterday to give Her something to do. It being Mother’s Day and all.
It’s interesting, then, that when the peeps and I went to the Farmer’s Market on Saturday, and She ran into somebody She knew, the talk turned to children. And parents.
“Hey! Nice to see you! Let’s see…when are you due?”
“Oh, about eight weeks or so but I’d be happy to go earlier. That’s a cute dog! We left ours at home. They’re both too big and too much for an environment like this.”
“Yeah, Stuart, as you can see, is one snotty Scottie. He doesn’t mean to be, he just likes to sit in the middle of all the action and wait for people to come to him. Like he’s holding court. This is your first child isn’t it?”
“Yeah, it took us a long time to decide. We’ve been together for a long time. But, we figured we’ve been good dog parents, so….”
“Being good dog parents is the same as being people parents isn’t it? I mean, you provide safety, shelter, love and the same stuff you do with people. I wouldn’t say this to just anybody, but you know what I mean.”
“Oh, you’re right! We don’t say it much either, it’s kind of blasphemous, but you’re right. Sometimes, I think it’s easier to raise people, they understand what you say, like ‘use your inside voice’.”
Oh so it went. Frankly, I don’t think it’s blasphemous to compare raising children with raising dogs. I mean, what’s all the fuss? You raise them both, right? (After all, you don’t just raise one and own the other, do you? No. Of course not.) They both need love, care, shelter, food, healthcare, education, respect, cuddles, love….did I say love??
What’s the difference?
