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.

A Christmas Wish?

Dawning on December

The last month of the year commences, and the temperatures have dropped. It was 13ºF (-10.6ºC) this morning. Jake went out and frosted is peeshooter.

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.
