Chameleons on Plaid Cloth: The Running of the Dauchshunds

The Running of the Dauchshunds

After a long day of recording the strides of various horses over a 108 foot stretch of an arena, we were all a little nuts. Thereby, came the running of the dauchshund. The data will be added to my daughter's science project. I hope her teacher has a sense of humor. (Yes, that's moi sniggering in the background.)

I had a dauchshund, many years ago - his full pedigreed name was "Heidi's Little Buddy," but he was just "Buddy" to us. He lived outside the fenced-in area of the backyard at the Bakerview house, and Jigs and Morgan (the Yorkshire Terriers) lived on the inside. Periodically, the three of them would meet at the perimeter and snarl ferociously at each other (they never got along - Jigs and Morgan, being brothers, would gang up on Buddy - sort of like "the sisters" in The Shawshank Redemption. In fact Jigs and Morgan were even gay, albeit a canine incestuous twist on that sexual inclination; I won't describe how I know this, but I'm sure anyone reading this can well imagine.)

Buddy, however, had freedom - the full run of the property, which was a just under an acre. And he made good use of it - he literally wore paths around the house. The yard outside the fence was like a doggie freeway system, with off-ramps and on-ramps leading to his various hangouts, etc.

Anyway, cute vids. Wouldn't it have been cool if we had been able to produce video with audio for our science projects at BHS? Would have added a whole new dimension to Bargie's IPS class.; May 20, 2007 at 11:43 AM
Unknown said...: Oh, yeah - I forgot to sign my previous coment, and it just occurred to me you don't know who "right_reason" is (although you could doubtless deduce the identity from the context). I had even forgotten that this was the screen-name I chose for this particular Google account (one among many).

For sh*ts and giggles

I give good readings. Norse Tarot readings. The cards are my own design. I've been doing readings as "party favors" for 35 years. I've been doing readings quite successfully on the Liquid Silver forum for quite awhile, too. When I was 13 years old I could have gone professional, but my mother, in her infinite wisdom, protected me from becoming a local media victim. She is a retired psychic minister. I grew up around this stuff! She taught me to share my gift and never to charge exorbitant amounts. I've been charging $5.00 for twenty years, or just doing that "party favor thing."

I'm going to start offering personal, full readings via email to my blog visitors. Not three-card quickies like I do on the forum.

$5.00 per question (one question per reading, please). No "life and death" questions. Remember, readings are supposed to be fun! You can pay by paypal or you can buy one of my books, forward me the receipt at darragha @ gmail. com (no spaces) and I'll accept that as payment.
If you want a three-card quickie for free, ask at the forum :)

Thank you, and I look forward to tossing the cards for you!
