Hola!
Sorry it has been so long since I've been able to blog. Like Sparky, I depend on my mama to help me write. Sometimes I wish I had hands instead of paws, but that might look weird.Sparky has been out o…

Phone from Hell
If you've read this blog for any length of time, you all know that I love technology. I embrace it even. I think my gadget-buying spree back in the spring proves that. The Polycom SoundPoint IP 650, h…

My Heart Hurts

Still Not Sure
I am a little frightened of this pink contraption my humans call a "doggie stroller". It seems unsafe as it jostles me around in the most vigorous manner. When Sparky is plunked down beside me like a…

Snuggling
I love autumn because that's when my mom breaks out her thick, cushy, soft purple robe. She wears it around the house all evening, then when it's time for bed, she removes it and folds it nice and thi…

Patsy
I go through these weird and wonderful moments when I MUST listen to Patsy Cline. It's very similar to the food cravings I get. Like the time I craved hot and sour soup every day for a week. I could n…

Play Time!
It took a lot of nagging to get Sparky to play with me, but it was worth it. We were in mom's office and Sparky was trying to get another nap in. In my opinion, he had slept enough. I growled and bark…

My Coonass Heritage
When I started this blog, I wanted to use the space to recall memories from childhood and the Cajun experience. Somehow I veered way off track, so today I thought I'd revisit the notion and see what c…

iGoogle
I just learned how to customize my iGoogle homepage! I created a theme called "The Coliseum" using my very own photo I took when I went to Italy. Cool beans, right? I am easily amused, what can I say?

Elm Fork Nature Preserve
It was hot as Hades, but under the canopy of trees it wasn't too bad. The trails were padded with a nice cushiony mulch that felt good under foot. We were hoping to see some wildlife - there were, aft…
