The dog days of winter - this one's for Jinksy




Riker and me

If you haven't seen me post
And you think I've turned a ghost

I'm really quite alive
But my world's become a hive

Dogs are here and there
Dogs are everywhere
And also there's the snow
That thrills me, as you know

Plus I'm tending a new blog
With pictures of a dog
Who's visiting my girls
And showing off his curls

So friends both old and new,
Before I say "adieu"
I'm posting some new pix
That shows what's in the mix

Thank you for the rhyming lesson and inspiration, Jinksy!

I think you're lying about taking care of a new blog. I went there. A dog wrote it. Damn cute dog, too.

@Nessa: Thank you! It's sure been a fun couple weeks!

@Willow: Amen to that! The legging thingies are THE warmest boots I've ever had. They're Steger Mukluks:

@Mimi: Hope you enjoyed the other blog! It's only going to be up for a limited time -- unless Riker's mom wants to keep it going!

Beware the rhyming bug; once bitten, it often takes you by the...hand? Feet?...Throat? Nah... Ah, got it! Earlug!
