How Jake sees cats
What! Jake thinks cats are crazy? I don’t know what he’s thinking.
I think you’re exaggerating, Jake!
Merry Christmas!
Mooy Cowmas!

Little Green Bags
Since we’ve adopted Jake, I spend a lot of time carrying little green bags of dog poop around with me when we are out on walks. The old song “Little Green Bag” by the Dutch band George Baker Selection came to mind one day, so I wrote parody lyrics about those little green bags of dog poop. I recorded the parody, and Jake and I made the above music video.
Silver: “It’s your own fault for adopting a dog. Pathetic poopy paparazzo!”
Gwendolyn: “Whoa! You really pick up that crap? At least with us kitties, you use a slotted scoop to clean the kitty litter.”
Spunk: “Well, pathetic poopy paparazzo. Your doggedness has done you in!”
While I’m off work for the holidays, Jake misses his ride to and from the office every day. He goes outside and sits by my car, waiting to go to work. When we don’t go to the office, he acts disappointed, so I’ve started taking Jake for a ride in the car every day while I’m on vacation. Today we came across a cluck of cranes.

Jake’s Big Adventure
While my car was in the shop for maintenance, Jake and I took a 3.8-mile (6.1 Km) walk down, up, and all around the Albuquerque flood diversion channel. I was surprised how much Jake liked running down and up the steep sides of the flood control channels. Whenever we came up to the top of a channel, Jake would hop onto the road and give whatever was in front of us a look of intense interest. It was like a game for Jake.
The route
Jake peed on a high-voltage transmission line pole. He thought it was electrifying.
Serious security: An electric fence behind the cyclone fence and barbed wire.
Needless to say, Jake was worn out after his big adventure.
Cheez n Dreams
Sunrise
Ahem! Poor pathetic, putrid, pee-brained paparazzo! Can’t you see the cheez is covered? Are you blind along with being a bonehead?
Loki: “Dibs! Hahahahaha! I got the cheez first.
“Eat your cheezy little heart out, Silver!”
Jake dreaming that the wind is blowing in his face.

Cheezgiving Day

Oh Lord Mishipeshu, I beseech you to listen to our prayers. We give thanks for this day of Cheezgivig. We even thank you for il Paparazzo. We know he is a bit slow, but we can forgive him for his manifold sins he has so grievously committed against us in thought, word, and deed. Hear our prayers, beloved Mishipeshu! Acat.

Another Office Dog
Venus in the Tangle Heart Tree
Meet Athena, the newest member of the office dog family. If this keeps up, we will have more dogs than staff in the office. Athena is a sweet dog. Even Jake likes her, and he generally doesn’t like dogs very much as he believes he’s human (he doesn’t stick his head out the car window like most dogs). Athena has duochromatic eyes. She can give people the stink eye in technicolor.
The cats were extra cheesy this morning.

A Whiter Shade of Pale
Teagan is warning young lovers, Tim and Laurie, to escape from the sinister circus before they too become a whiter shade of pale — Teagan Riordain Genevien.
Teagan had the idea for her and me to collaborate on a Halloween-themed music video. We chose “A Whiter Shade Of Pale” by Procol Harem. Teagan produced wonderful images of herself, Laurie, and me for me to use in the video, and she sounds great, as always. She wrote a really cool story to go with the video that you can read on her accompanying post at https://wp.me/p30Tpb-9R4.

Jake
Oriana and Celina like to walk Jake down to Starbucks and get him a Pupachino. Normally, not much happens other than Jake gets lots of attention from strangers, which he loves, and between all the attention, the walk, and the Pupuchinos, he is worn out. When they brought Jake back this afternoon, he was wound up.
The story goes that on the way to Starbucks, Oriana dropped Erma’s card she was to use to pay for Erma’s order. When Oriana discovered she didn’t have the card, she ran back to the office to see if she left it at the office and then started looking for it on her way back to Starbucks.
Meanwhile, Jake got excited by all the commotion about the missing card, and Oriana taking off to run back to the office and pulled himself free from Celina. Celina said that instead of running after Oriana, Jake ran around the Starbucks building and ran up to the drive-up window, presumably to order another Pupachino. Celina extracted Jake from the drive-up window and met Oriana, who had not found Erma’s card.
On the way back to the office to tell Erma they had lost her card, Jake stopped to sniff and roll, and there was the card where Jake had stopped. They ran back to Starbucks, got Erma’s order, and ordered Jake another Pupachino as a reward for finding the card. All in the day in the life of a Cosmo Dog!
