APPRECIATE YOU! SALUTE TO SERVICE! PERFECT START TO A PERFECT DAY! THE TOPIC OF THE DAY, SEEMED TO BE "DOG TALES" . . . NOW, I AM NOT A DOG LOVER, NOR A CAT LOVERS, BUT I KNOW, PEOPLE IN THE SEATTLE AREA AND THE WORLD, BASICALLY, ARE. I ALWAYS WARN DOG LOVERS, NOT TO GET OFFENDED, IF I DON'T OOOH AND GOOH OVER THEIR DOGS, SLOBBERING ON MY PANTS! LOL. I WAS UNFRIENDED FROM THE DOG PARK BY MY MOTHER, FOR OFFENDING ALL THE DOG OWNERS, BY SHOOING THEIR DOGS, AWAY FROM ME. THEY PICK THE ONE, NON-DOG PERSON, TO SURROUND AND PANT, SLOBBER, AND PLAY AROUND. I JUST WENT TO TALK POLITICS WITH THE PEOPLE! LOL. MY DAUGHTER, NICOLE IS LIKE HER MOTHER. HER HUSBAND, GEORGE AND THEIR TWO KIDS, MOVED TO THE COUNTRY, IN A NEW HOME, OUTSIDE OF WASHINGTON, D.C., AND THEY HAVE A LARGE YARD, IT WAS GRACE'S BIRTHDAY THIS WEEK, AND I ASKED HER WHAT SHE GOT FOR HER BIRTHDAY, TURNED 10. SHE TOLD ME SHE GOT A DOG OBSTACLE COURSE! WHAT, FIRST DOG PARKS, NOW CITY DOG DAYCARE CENTERS, NOW OBSTACLE COURSES? NOW GRACIE IS A BEAUTIFUL, SMART, VERY FOCUSED, YOUNG LADY NOW, AND SHE TAKES HER TASKS SERIOUS. HER LAZY DOG IS THE TARGET OF HER NEW TASK, TO GET THAT BEAST TRAINED! LOL. NICOLE SENT ME A TEXT WITH THE NAME OF THE DOG COURSE, IT IS CALLED, NOW, I CAN'T FIND THE MESSAGE, BECAUSE OF THE VIDEO AND THE PICTURES OF THE COURSE, AND GRAND KIDS! IT IS SOMETHING LIKE THE VIBE OF THE COURSE, OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT. BUT, IT IS SO FUNNY, SO, LIKE, SOMEONE WITH MY GENES, NICOLE'S DNA, SO, GRACE, IS TAKING THE DOG THROUGH THE COURSE, AND PRODDING, BEGGING, GOOD BOY, AND PUTTING IT THROUGH ALL THE HOOPS, UNTIL THE DOG GETS TO THE THREE PLASTIC FENCES, THAT THE DOG IS SUPPOSE TO JUMP, AND IT REFUSES . . . LOL, SO GRACIE, DRAGS IT ACROSS ALL THREE! LOL. GIT-R-DONE! YOU GO GIRL! LOL. THE NIGHT BEFORE, ON KIRO "EVENING" A KIND OF WHAT'S HAPPENING AROUND, SEATTLE AND SURROUDING AREA, ENTERTAINMENT SHOW, THE HOSTS, FEATURED A DOG, THAT TAUGHT ITSELF TO SKATEBOARD! THE TOTAL OPPOSITE OF MY DAUGHTER'S LAZY, SPOILED DOG! I DON'T KNOW IF THE "PARENTS" MOM AND DAD, HAD KIDS WHO SKATEBOARDED, OR NEIGHBOR KIDS, BUT THIS DOG, JUST FOUND A SKATEBOARD, AND STARTED TO STAKE, NO TREATS, NO COAXING, TRAINING, AND NOW, THEY CANT GET THE DOG OFF THE SKATEBOARD, EVEN ENTERTAINS, AND DOES THE COURSE, AT THE SKATE PARK IN TOWN, DRAWING LARGE ADORING CROWDS OF SKATERS, AND FRIENDS! WHEN, DADDY, TRIES TO GET THE DOG OFF THE SKATEBOARD, AND LEAVE, THE DOGS, GETS PISSED AND ALMOST BITES HIS DADDY, MUCH, LIKE A KID, WHO REFUSES TO OBEY AND GET IN THE CAR, TO GO HOME! NOW THE DOG, SNOWBOARDS, AND, SOMETHING, ELSE HUMAN! I TOLD NICOLE TO SHOW HER KIDS, BECAUSE, THEY ARE BOTH, SKATEBOARDERS, AS ARE ALL THEIR FRIENDS! SO ARE THEIR TWO UNCLES, LONG BEFORE IT WAS COOL, OR THERE WERE SKATEPARKS, BEING SEEN, AS THE DREDGES OF SOCIETY, FOR HURDLING STAIRS, CURBS, RUNNING, PARKING TERRACES, AND FLIPPING TRICKS, WITH COPS, RUNNING AFTER THEIR ASSES. BUT THE DOG IS AMAZING! SO, WITH THAT, BEING ON MY MIND, ME AND THE HOT TRAMPS, AT THE HAMMOND HOUSE, WERE WATCHING THE NEWS, AND ONE OF THE UNIVERSITIES, IN WASHINGTON, AND I AM NOT THAT FAMILIAR WITH THEM YET, BUT, THIS DIDN'T SURPRISE, LOCALS, AND LONG TIME RESIDENTS ABOUT THIS UNIVERSITY, AND ITS PAST . . . THEY HAVE A NEW WAY OF HANDLING, BURIAL EXPENSES, TO "COMPOST PEOPLE!" LOL. ONE LADY HAD PURCHASED, A SHIRT THAT SAID SOMETHING LIKE, I WILL NEVER SUPPORT, THE COUGARS, IF THAT IS A CLUE! LOL. THERE WERE SEVERAL OPTIONS, MAKING PEOPLE, JUST A PART OF THE ANIMAL FOOD CHAIN, AND BEING USED AS FERTILIZER AND COMPOST FOR TREES! LOL. WELL, THAT REMINDED ME OF A STORY, ABOUT MY COUSIN, AND HIS WIFE, WHO OWNED, TWO VERY LARGE DOGS, WHO WERE BASICALLY, THEIR KIDS, SO WHEN, ONE DIED, IT DEVASTATED THIS COUPLE. THE HUSBAND HAS BEEN AWAY, WHEN, THE DOG DIED, SO THE WIFE, A PHOTOGRAPHER FOR THE DESERET NEWS, DECIDED, TO BURY THE DOG IN THE BACK YARD, HAVING A LARGE LOT. NOW, BEFORE MY COUSIN AND HIS WIFE, OWNED THE HOUSE, MY AUNT AND UNCLE OWNED THE HOUSE, AND THE NEIGHBORS, KNEW, THE FAMILY, FROM PARENTS, TO SON AND WIFE, NOW, ALL CLOSE AND THE GOOD NEIGHBORHOOD! SO, THE WIFE, HAULED THE VERY LARGE DOG OUT INTO THE YARD, UNDER A TREE, AND PUT A LARGE, WHITE SHEET OVER THE DEAD ANIMAL, SO THAT, IT COULD REST IN PEACE, AND, NO ONE SEEING WHAT SHE WAS DOING, WOULD BE UPSET. AS SHE WAS DIGGING, HER VERY OLD, NEIGHBOR, CAME OVER TO SEE WHAT SHE WAS UP TO. LOL. SHE TOLD HIM, THAT SHE WAS BURING HER DOG. THAT JAMES WOULD BE VERY UPSET IF HE CAME HOME, AND FOUND, THAT THEIR DOG HAD DIED, SO, SHE WAS GOING TO TAKE CARE OF THE PROBLEM BEFORE, HE GOT HOME FROM, HIS REAL ESTATE, OR DOORS FAN, TRIP. THE NEIGHBOR, WAS CONCERNED, AND SAID, ARE YOU SURE THAT IS LEGAL, TO BURY, YOUR DAD, IN THE BACK YARD? I THINK IT IS. SHE CONTINUED, NOT PAYING ATTENTION, TO THE MAN, AND HE SAID, ARE YOU SURE, THAT IT IS LEGAL? SHE SAID, SURE, AND PROCEEDED TO DIG AND PREPARE THE BURIAL SITE FOR THEIR LOVED DOG! LATER THAT, DAY, JAMES CAME HOME, AND HIS WIFE, TOLD HIM, THE BAD NEWS, AND HE WAS OUT IN THE BACK YARD, PAYING HIS LAST RESPECT TO HIS LOVED ANIMAL. HIS OLD, NEIGHBOR, CAME OUT, TO PAY HIS REPSECTS, BUT HE WAS STILL CONCERNED ABOUT WHAT JAMES' WIFE HAD DONE . . . AGAIN, HE EXPRESSED HIS CONCERN, THAT SHE HAD BURIED HER DAD IN THE BACK YARD! MISCOMMUNICATION IS THE RULE--COMMUNICATION IS THE EXCEPTION! LOL. HEARING LOSE IS ALSO, PART OF THE PROBLEM, DOG, SOUNDED LIKE DAD! SCREAMMING FUNNY! EVEN WITH THE DOG, YOU MIGHT WANT TO CHECK WITH YOUR CITY! LOL. IN SOME LOCALITIES IT IS LEGAL, BUT IN OTHERS, YOU HAVE TO TAKE DOG REMAINS TO THE VET, OR SOMEONE, DESIGNATED TO GET RID OF THE CARCUS! LOL. PARRIS AND ALL THE GIRLS, WERE CRYING THEY WERE LAUGHING SO HARD! SO THAT LED TO A FEW MORE, FUNNY STORIES ABOUT, DEAD PETS. IT IS THE SEASON, STEPHEN KINGS, "PET CEMETARY!" LOL. OH, THE FUN, THE MAGIC, THE GHOULS AND GOBBLINS, SO FUN! I LOVE THE FALL. I TOLD THE GALS, ABOUT, MY BLOODY EYEBALL BIRTHDAY CAKE, I MADE EACH YEAR FOR MY HOLLOWEEN BABY, GRETA! MAKE A CHOCOLATE CAKE, EITHER MAKE OR BUY, CHOCOLATE AND VANILLA, OR BLACK AND WHITE, FROSTING. YOU DO A SIMPLE OUTLINE OF A GHOST, CASPER THE FRIENDLY, SIMPLE, AND EASY, FORM, BUT LEAVE THE HEAD, AS LARGE AS YOU CAN. THEN, YOU CRACK AND EGG, IN A BOWL, AND SAVE THE SHELLS. YOU CLEAN THEM OUT, SO THERE IS NO GOO. TURN THEM UPSIDE DOWN, ON THE WHITE PART, MAKING IT LOOK LIKE THERE ARE BULGING EYEBALLS, WHITE ON WHITE. TAKE TWO SUGAR CUBES, MAY WANT TO GO IN ON THESE WITH A NEIGHBOR, BECAUSE YOU HAVE TO BUY A HUGE ASS BOX, TO GET TWO! BUT, I DON'T DRINK, COFFEE, SO, YOU MAY HAVE THESE ALREADY ON HAND AT HOME. THEN, TAKE CLEAR, ALMOND, OR LEMON, VANILLA, OR SOME TYPE OF CLEAR, EXTRACT, WITH A HIGH ALCOHOL CONTENT, AND SOAK THE SUGAR CUBES IN THE LIQUID, FOR A LITTLE WHILE, NOT TOO LONG, OR THEY WILL DISINTEGRATE IN THE EXTRACT. THEN, PUT THEM ON TOP OF THE TO EGG SHELLS, OR THE EYEBALLS, TURN OFF THE LIGHTS, AND LIGHT THE SUGAR CUBES! WOW! FUN! COOL! AWESOME! THE SUGAR CUBES, LIGHT ON FIRE, WITH A FLAME ABOUT, 5 OR 6 INCHES, AND AS THE SUGAR MELTS, DRIPS OF DARK, ALMOST RED, LOOKING MIXTURE, DRIPS DOWN, THE EGG SHELLS, LOOKING LIKE, THE STREAKS IN BLOODY EYEBALLS! EVERY HALLOWEENY! NOW MY GRAND KIDS LOVE IT! FUN, FOR JUST, AFTERNOON, DECORATING DAY, RAINY AND WET OUTSIDE, CARVE PUMPKINS, MAKE A BLOODY EYEBALLS CAKE, AND READ, EDGAR ALAN POE'S THE "BLACK CAT" OR THE "TALE OF THE RED DEATH OR THE MASK OF THE RED DEATH" OR "THE TELL TALE HEART!" PUT THE KIDS ON SLEEPING BAGS OR BLANKETS, PUT THE LIT, JACK-O-LANTERNS, AND READ TO THEM, BY FLASHLIGHT, STOPPING TO ASK, THE KIDS, QUESTIONS, ABOUT WHAT THE RED DEATH LOOKS LIKE OR WHY DO YOU THINK THE MAN, BURIED THE CAT IN THE FLOOR BOARDS? BOOKS WITHOUT PICTURES, LEAVE ALL THIS TO THE IMAGINATION OF THE KIDS! FUN STUFF. I HAVE TWO MORE, PET STORIES, THAT THE HOT TRAMPS, WANTED ME TO SHARE WITH YOU TODAY . . . ME IN THE FIRE HOLE!

THE PET RABBIT RESURRECTION

This story is even more, fun, interesting, due to the person, who was involved in this true story, maybe even a crime of some sort, would be had it been a human body!  There are laws, and for good reason, on how the morgue and other, entities, that deal with bodies, need to handle them . . . in Utah, while I was at the Utah Attorney General's Office, a couple of clowns, went to the hospital, from the mortuary, to pick up, a dead person, to prepare if for the funeral.  One the way, back, going up a steep hill, in Salt Lake, the body, on a gurney, escaped, out the back door of the vehicle, due to some negligence on the part of the two dudes, who picked up the body!  That year, there were new laws at the Utah State Legislature, dealing with the handling of corpses!  The family was extremely upset, to learn that their loved one, went cruising down, the streets, DEAD!  I believe the body, had also, been damaged in some way, and didn't look, right at the funeral.  Pets, are most likely, not included, but, I am sure, there is some little nuance, of what the fuck in this tale!  LOL.

The main character in this true story, was the Chief Deputy, Attorney General, in the state of Utah, back in my days, at the AG's office.  I will protect, his name, so some, new aggressive, deputy, county attorney, doesn't come up with some tangential crime, and go after, my former, boss!  LOL.  But, this man and his neighbor, had issues, over the fact, that my boss's dog, a large on, would burrow under his next door neighbor's fence and kill his pet rabbits, that were running around the back yard.  It had really become an issue at this point.  So, one day, boss, goes home, taking a break from work, and finds, his dog, with one of his neighbor's rabbits, in his mouth, shaking it and dropping it, in the dirt, and generally, mistreating the rabbit, that appeared, dead and limp.  Boss freaks out, feeling that this was the last thing that, he needs right now, with this pissed off neighbor, so he takes the rabbit's limp, wet, dirty, body and give it a bath, blow dries the fur, and sneaks in the neighbor's back yard, and places the rabbit, back in the rabbit pen, and leaves.

That, night, the neighbor, puzzled, and a bit taken back, not knowing what had happened, said, and told my boss, that the strangest thing, happened today, that one of his rabbits, died the other, day, so they buried it, but when, he got home today from work, the dead rabbit, was back in its pen, all clean and looking, like it was a live again!  LOL!  Reed was mortified, and even more worried that his neighbor or someone might have seen, him, take the dead rabbit, clean it and replace it in it home!  If we learn to laugh at ourselves, we will have a lifetime of entertainment!  LAUGHER IS THE BEST MEDICINE, REALLY!

THE CALICO CAT, DOWN, ONE OF ITS NINE LIVES!

My mother, had a litter of children, 6 of us, in 8 years.  Then, 9 years later, she had, Tiff, and followed her with Jared, who were almost more like grand kids, than kids, and a bit more spoiled, and getting surely, more attention from mom and dad, than, the original 6 of us, all practically, born at the same time!  But, one day, Jared got home from school, and found, his loved and cherished, calico cat, whatever, its name was, dead in the yard or garden.  Upset and crying, with mom, still at work, teaching school. he called my father, more free to leave work and come attend to the dead cat and to comfort him!  My father, knows how much, Jared, Boo, Boo, to my mother, loved this cat, so he raced home from Salt Lake, and he took great pains, to prepare a fine burial place for the cat, along with, giving it, last rites. 

Shortly after, dad buried the cat, and said a prayer or blessing, on both the cat, going into the afterlife and Jared, being able to deal with its death, all the sudden, Smokey, or whatever the hell, its name was, came wondering over and pressed up against, Jared, still sobbing from the ceremony, for his dead cat . . . he looks up, through his tears and sees, HIS CAT!  LOL.  I believe the cat, was one of a litter, some neighbor's cat had, so there were several Smokies, running around the neighborhood!  LOL.  All were relieved and happy, that the wrong cat had died.  I don't know if they dug up the cat, and returned it to the owner?  That is for Paul Harvey and the rest of the story!  Fun stuff.  Stories last a lifetime, get some, tell them, and share your lives . . . even the most, mundane, appearing lives, has, some, fun, enjoyment, cool stuff, or just vivid, cool memories that someone can relate to, enjoy, or be glad, they were not that person!

HAVE A GREAT, RESTFUL, AND PEACEFUL SUNDAY!  THE IDEA, BEHIND, TAKING A DAY OF REST, OR KEEPING THE SABBATH DAY HOLY, IS SIMPLY, THAT MAN, LABORS, 5 OR 6 DAYS A WEEK, THEY NEED ONE DAY, TO JUST CHILL, TO ENJOY FRIENDS AND FAMILY, OR GO TO THE SEAHAWKS GAME . . . GO HAWKS!

I TEND TO OPERATE MY LIFE, BASED ON PRINCIPLES, NOT RULES . . . I JUST TOOK, THREE DAYS OFF FROM THE GYM, SO I AM RESTED AND READY TO GO WORK OUT!  THREE DAYS OF REST ARE BETTER THAN, ONE, RIGHT?  LOL!

HAVE A GOOD ONE!

GET OUT INTO NATURE, IN ALL HER GLORY!

YESTERDAY, THEY WERE ALL SMILING AND PUSHING EACH OTHER, ONE CAME THROUGH THE DOOR, LOOKING AT ME AND SMILING, LIKE HE KNEW SOME KIND OF SECRET!  PARRIS, ALREADY TOLD THEM, AND I WROTE ABOUT IT IN MY BLOG.  NOW, BIG HUNK, IS SEQUESTERED BY, LIKELY, HIS FATHER, WHO DOESN'T LIKE ME!  LOL.  REMEMBER THE OLD, "GOD" MOVIES, WITH, GEORGE BURNS, OR OTHER FUNNY, COMEDIES SHOWING OUR RELATIONSHIP WITH GOD?  YOU REMEMBER . . . SO, I AM SITTING THERE, KNOWING, THAT DUDE, RUNNING THE SECURITY CAMERAS, OR IN THE BACK ROOM, CAN SEE ME!  LOL.  LIKE "GOD" OR THE "WIZARD OF OZ" ALL I HEARD, WAS A VOICE, FROM BEHIND THE IRON CURTAIN . . . DEREK, OR JOHN, OR WHOEVER, CAN YOU CASHIER?  LOL.  I WOULD LOOK AROUND, TO SEE, IF THAT COMMAND FROM ON HIGH, WAS MERITED, OR IF HE JUST WANTED TO MAKE ME LOOK, THIS WAY AND THAT, FOR HIM!  LOL.  SOMETIMES, THERE WERE ACTUALLY, PEOPLE, WHO WERE WAITING IN LINE; HOWEVER, SOMETIMES, HE DID IT, JUST SO I COULD HEAR, HIS VOICE!  LOL.  SOMETIMES, THE COMMANDS, WERE NOT WARRANTED!  I LOVE IT!  FOREVER 21!  SMILE.  LIFE IS GOOD!
