Citizen Dog by Mark O'Hare for November 05, 2012

I thought only cats had nine lives, am I mistaken?

@StelBel – are you feeling better? If you have the same cold my husband has, my guess us no. He’s been hacking away for a week.

Do you two not know better than to come in out of the rain?

Good morning, cleo, sugar, Fellow Baby & the rest of the CD gang!

or…..get one of these:

@GROG!

Circumstances are so bad in this story line, it’s probably raining as much inside as out!

Good morning, CDers!

Nice “Irish Fisherman Knit” jumper/sweater you have on there, Séamus…

@Dry

Hope you’re all recuperated from the Ballard Halloween Bash this weekend. It was a great success (with only one arrest for disturbing the peace!). Loved your costume!

BTW, Lt. Horatio Canine says “hi!”….

@GROG!, JP Steve, Cleokaya, Shika-Mua, and Dry

Thanks, everybody, for all your good wishes last night. They must have helped, because so far, at least, I’m feeling better. Hopefully, I’m not speaking too soon….

(so far, so good…)

@nighthawks

Before…

After…

morning people and pets.happy, happy, happy.

appreciate that , stel ol’ bel!anybody know where Angelina Jollee is?

by the way, stel ol’ bel…….you are smart aleck!

It’s time for Fergus to write some sunshine into his story.

It looks like I may also,be getting some sun today. Fingers are crossed; toes too!good morning to the sunny personalities and Citizens of Dog.

Cuddles O’connor, eh? Nice name!

Good morning Fellow Baby, cleo and sugie!

howdy Stel, chefwen, nighthawks, happy, SeaFox, Number Six, and capnLaz.

Stel, I meant to comment at BS that night about Horatio, and I forgot!

(I sure miss that show, BTW!)

nighthawks, if you looked THAT good, I’d be hunting you down! ;-D

Good Morning Grog, Dry, Cleo, StelBel, happyathome & all CDers out there.

Be careful NumberSix, we don’t want you getting flagged either! :-D

JP Steve, re: last night. Don’t worry about me and Fellow Baby, we are passionate about our football, but we weren’t mad at each other. :-D

JP Steve, no problems here.

It’s interesting that Jones said that if any GM had done what he’d done in his place, he would have fired him. I’d love to see Jones unceremoniously dump himself. He should keep his nose out of the day to day operations and just sign the checks.

Hi CDers! Have I missed the party?

JP Steve, you have to get used to Dry. She;s known for being FEISTY! And Grog calls a spade a spade. So it just looks like they are fighting.

Now me, I can’t always tell, so I think that I’ve upset one of them, but I’ve learned not to be so sensitive. I call a spade a club and whack them with it if they get out of hand. (Hee-hee!)

Gee. I show up and everyone disappears. Did StelBel say good night already?

Hi Dry! Are you two talking about that pointy pig skin thing again? lol

What party Shika? I am just getting back here, looks like Fellow Baby is as well, and EVERYONE ELSE HAS GONE MISSING!

Fat chance of that happening, Fellow Baby. As much as I want it to happen, it unfortunately won’t happen until he’s dead. But it wouldn’t surprise me if he still got in the way from the grave.

Hi, Shika.

I calls ‘em as I see ’em. Unfortunately, I’m blind as a bat.

Shika yes Fellow Baby and I are talking about that pointy pig skin thing again! And cleo is talking about a similar, in a different vein, oh never mind! Don’t want to get flagged!

Fellow Baby, Bats see pretty good in the dark, Mister!

Jerry is an idiot that had enough money to buy a football team. Too bad he doesn’t know how to run one! Most people in authority delegate, he is all about him and afraid to trust anyone else, even though he knows as much about football as I do about performing brain surgery.

Which explains why I can move around my house so well in the dark. But I still can’t type in the dark….most of the time.

Grog some bats see well in the dark, but other bats are blind as a bat and don’t see a thing!

Your little blue laughing head gives me the giggles Dry!

Fellow Baby, I don’t think anyone’s stood up to Jones since Jimmy Johnson left. They have no say over player personnel. If they did, I don’t think Romo would still be there. He’s there because Jones likes him. Under Jimmy Johnson, he would have been history a long time ago.

A second teamer playing in the place of Emet in a game the Cowboys had well in hand fumbled the ball once. He wasn’t on the roster the following year.

So, how about those Leafs?

StelBel must have taken cold medication and fallen asleep. She has posted great photos tonight.

Go, Habs, Go!

Don’t get smart with me Grog. You know who the Leafs are! You know, the hockey team who hasn’t won the Stanley Cup since 1965 or some unheard of time?

Yeah, yeah. Root for your home town team. Real original. lol

Oh, wait, I guess that’s what I am doing too, lol

The Leafs? The ones that blow by in the wind? And fade away!

Shika, I’ve got a Habs collection that includes the final game of a Habs/Leafs game from Maple Leaf Garden. I think it was from 1960 and the Habs won 4-0. The game was in bw it was so old – but I think largely intact. I’m glad that’s part of the collection too, because there were some great players on that team that I’d never seen play. Doug Harvey, the “Rocket” and Jacques Plante.

So who is winning this dead end game of Monday Night Football? Haven’t checked. I guess it is turning political too. My the times they have changed! :-(

Just to name a few.

I’m watching DD&D.

I knew there were going to be political overtones to the game. That’s why I’m watching DD&D

DD & D?

The Rocket I know. I’ve seen clips of him playing. In b/w.

I didn’t know that football could be political too. What a shame.

My BIL and his sons were Habs fans. But aren’t they called something else now? All I know is that they root for Montreal. They all hate T.O. anyways.

Yes both candidates have spots in the half time show I believe.

I’m always explaining this so I guess I’m doing it….one….more …..time! D iners, D rivins & D ives

@ Dry. Funny. Since when did you dis our home town team? Huh? :-)

I chose Edmonton over T.O.

Opps. Maybe I should write that down Grog. Ask Dry how good my memory is.

Any good eats tonight?

I think it’s time for me to turn out the lights. Well the lights are out already, so at least turn off the TV.

D iners, D rive-ins and D ives.Hmm. I wonder if that will work??

Edmonton had the Great One. I think. That’s all I know about them The Edmonton Oilers.

Good Night Grog I should get to bed too, to make up for the hour I lost this morning.

Goodnight Citizens of Dogs and wet dog and cat ancestors.

Shika, there’s always something that gets me to drooling on that show. There are a wide variety of eateries so there’s something for everyone’s taste buds even though many items may not work for your diet or high blood pressure or cholesterol or what ever you may or may not have problems with.

There’s a lot of stuff I drool over that would not be wise for me to eat.

Same here. Sometimes I eat it anyways. If I am told to stop eating something, then maybe I’ll think about it.

lol JP Steve. I used to feel that way about some cooking programs. That’s why I don’t watch them.

And on that note, lights out, and so am I.

Thanks for all the reassurance about the Fellow Babies. We’ve got such a neat family here I’d hate to see trouble!

good night people and pets

JP Steve YOU SHOULD JOIN US MORE OFTEN! Me and Grog/Fellow Baby to me have a lot of similar interests and all is well! Shouting (BIG LETTERS, ETC) I guess can appear as yelling and fighting to some, but to some of those of us, it just means we are excited and discussing things as we would if we were face to face, no meanness, just excited. I don’t know if explained that right, but that is my opinion from personal experience and watching others interact as well!

AND YOU REALLY SHOULD MAKE MORE APPEARANCES SIR! It’s ALWAYS nice to see you! :-)

happy, QUICK DRIVE BY? GEEZ MAN! Good to see you in that split second!

There recently was the big scare that the Edmonton Oilers were considering moving to Seattle. It was meant to scare the fans and politicos in Edmonton. even Gretsky came to Seattle.

Good Night happy. Just checking in to make sure you are still here. I hope you are feeling better.

There are fire trucks outside my house.

I don’t see smoke or fire, but they’re going into my neighbor’s place.

Well, what ever the excitement was, it’s all over now.

I’m thinking maybe it might have been a kitchen fire, cleo, but I was not dressed to go out there and find out. I got to admit I was worried not just for my neighbor but what might happen if there was a serious fire. There were a few vehicles out there with their loud lights flashing and eventually an ambulance showed, though I don’t think anyone required any serious medical attention that I could see.

Surprisingly, this event did not draw lots of outdoor spectators, unlike 2 Aprils ago when almost every police car in League City and surrounding areas was on my street for a murder suicide.

JP Steve, was this on a subway/train line? Or bus line?

Well, lets see if I can sleep now.

I can’t respond to anybody tonight, so:

Me:That is, there was a (probably) real bomb found yesterday — today’s scare was based on heightened alarm.

Grog:It was an elevated train.
