Good Dog


Nice doggie! Please don't shake off that water right here next to me! I know you are having a great time diving into the sea to retrieve sticks. What could be more fun? But, please don't shake right here...oops! Too late...

My Computer and My Dog

My computer tells me that it doesn't like my camera's memory stick. This is a problem! I need these two to be on speaking terms, otherwise I can't upload my photos! I'm not sure what the disagreement is about, but the pc is quite adamant that it wants nothing to do with the memory stick!

I'll have to get my husband, The Computer Genius, to sit them down and talk it out. He's usually quite good at this type of negotiation, and is not above a bit of bullying and threatening if the parties involved are uncooperative!

So, today you get to see a photo of my dog, Piedina. Her name means "little foot" in Italian. She earned that name because when she turned up outside our yard she always used to give us her paw to shake. Whoever decided that it would be a good idea to abandon her at our house had obviously taught her this one and only trick. Luckily for her, we liked her and decided to keep her. One of these days I'll get a photo of her sleeping all curled up with the cats.

Ivo

Ivo was a stray, rescued from a hard life on the street by my neighbors in the apartment building where we used to live. Since then he has been well-fed, greatly loved and much walked. His owner, or his son (the owner's son, not Ivo's son!), walk him at least four times a day. You can find them out and about all over the south side of town.
