Antici…pation

Sunrise

I see Jake shiver with antici…pation!

Jake loves it when Laurie makes Vanilla Gelato because he gets to lick the dash, the beater, the measuring cups, and the bowls.

Jake doesn’t get to lick the ice cream freezers because his tongue would stick to the frozen metal lining the bowls. Il paparazzo gets to scrape leftover gelato off the sides of the freezers with a plastic spoon. Yum!

Another blue and gray sunset.

How many prompts can AI respond to, before we think we know what is true? The answer my friend is blowin on the web, the answer is blowing on the web!

Hahahaha! Blowing on the web! AI? We don’t need no stinking AI! DN (dog nose) can give you much better intelligence!

Lingering clouds at dusk

Coyotes & Cockleburs

We had hard rain on and off this afternoon.

When Jake and I went on our early morning walk, we encountered a pack of three coyotes. We were walking on the lower bank, and the coyotes ran up on top of the levee and watched as we walked by.

As you may know, Jake loves to lift his leg on tumbleweeds. Currently, the tumbleweeds are green and soft; however, Jake discovered cockleburs on the lower bank. While the cockleburs are also still green, they are nice and scratchy.

A short reprieve from the rain.

The clouds were gathering again when I left for the store to get cheese for the cats. It started raining hard again. I sat in the car and did Duolingo until the rain let up enough to where I wouldn’t get soaked walking into the store.

My rain gauge recorded 4/10 of an inch of rain this afternoon, bringing us up to nearly an inch of rain for the month of June.

Jakey Poo Got A New Pair Of Shoes

Sunrise

Given the fact that my car has been reading the pavement temperatures upward of 120º F (48.9º C) the last few days, and Jake has been showing discomfort with the hot sidewalks and roads, Oriana suggested I get him some shoes.

Jake was not happy with his new shoes when I first put them on him.

But after a walk on the hot sidewalk, rocks and pavement at lunchtime, he decided they were alright after all.

Jake was happy after our mile walk around the block.

Jake waiting to go into the vet’s office. It turns out he has allergies. The vet tech said they had 20 cases of pets with allergies today.
