I think a friend cursed me when telling me last night that I hadn't written about Smokey for a while. Naturally I said "oh, yeah, he's fine!" but when I got home it was a whole different story! He was his normal happy spastic self when I got in the door, running laps through the hallway and living room, nearly bowling me over when he slams into my knees. I decided to get a bit of fresh air since the weather was decent last night so we walked down the hill and back up the Dragodan stairs (yes, the whole of Dragodan from light poles to grassy bits all are Smokey's territory as of last night!) When we got home, he was tired and hungry and dove straight into his food dish. About half an hour later I heard a horrible gagging sound from the hallway and found a delightful, frothy puddle of doggie puke on the carpet. He continued to gag through the night, yanking me out of my dreams with nasty doggie burps and gags (it's not a delight to wake up to your dog puking...much less to wake up and step in a puddle of it when you get up in the night!) So, thanks J for asking about Smokey...he had been quiet far too long without any good stories so I suppose it was time!
There is a brisk breeze today, the kind that makes you think that you walked out of the house without your pants. Otherwise, the weather has been good this week with no fog since Sunday. I'll keep my fingers crossed for those that are traveling for the holidays that the cold spell will last and there won't be any fog in the next few weeks when most of the UN-ers are leaving to see their families!
And finally, again some promotion...just want to send a big thank you to all of the people who have donated towards the Dj Vegas Annual Toy Drive. We've already filled up my big box in just a bit over a week!!! There's still lots of time and I think we're going to make a bunch of local kids very happy over this holiday season!
