Yep, same same, nothing more annoying than sneezus interruptus.

Viva la Comic Sans!!!

We’re not in that cold weather but we have small skinny dogs with basically next to no hair. We use various layers including Hurtta dog jackets that I finally/just found the last couple months after looking for years. Hurtta jackets are made in Finland geared towards their cold weather. Their Extreme Overall jacket had a hood/snood that I combine with a double layered fleece snood that you can adjust by folding back to make them shorter and then adjust longer as they get used to it. We now walk in the rain with their snood extended fully so their nose is just poking out and they’re ok with that. Their ears were nice and toasty at the end of the walk with the snood fully covering their ears this evening.

I buy snoods from K9 Voyager, Cappi’s Jammies, or Spoiled Bratz Wear. All have been reputable vendors.

I also have purchased heavy duty snaps and and a snap fastener, Hapden snap fastener tool (had good reviews so I purchased and have been happy with). That lets me attach extra pieces like snoods or other gear to customize for the weather.

K, well the scene with drunk Burt wobbling on the edge of the coffee table makes that the best episode for me!

Memory and visual attention when you get closer to 60. You can’t remember all 10 digits of a new phone number with an unfamiliar area code; often one of the 4 last numbers will end up transposed with a neighbor. Visual attention: looking on your garage shelves or cupboards for an item and not seeing it even though it’s in plain sight.

Dogwood. Hidden away under the canopy, reaching out and up to find sunshine in the PNW rain forest. Beautiful white spring flowers.

After leaving my beloved PNW when I was 12 to move to smoggy searing Los Angeles and missing the green and rain for 45 years, I’m back. We just bought a dogwood for the backyard. So excited for spring.

Yep, our Iggy ran all the way out to the back yard prancing around tail up, barking at the intruder back inside the house. The other two are sitting in bed with me with a ‘wtf was that!’ expression.

Birds aren’t real

Husband: I want one of those! /s

Wife: who needs a rooster when you can hear that all night long??

I’ll just leave this reference on copper nanotubes right here.
