rainy days and wednesdays....

rats...look at all that water coming down out there. what's up with that? i hate it when it rains...a girl can't really do her 'business' in any proper fashion when the backyard is so wet. this is very annoying, especially because my mom seems to think it's her job to watch me--to make certain i go outside on the grass, and not in the dining room...on the rug--as if i'd demean myself by going potty in the house. what do i look like? okay, maybe i've had one or two accidents in my life, but that was a long time ago! these days i just hold it in until i can't. (hold it in, i mean)

whoa...i keep thinking there's something i'm supposed to do today... i've had my treats. i've had a couple of naps. i barked at the plumber. i chased max downstairs. hmmmm...i'm sure there's something else... oh yeah! write a few words of wisdom (or stupidity or b.s., whatever comes to mind first). i've heard what they say about old dogs and new tricks--thank goodness i'm still just a little girl. never-the-less, i think this is gonna take some gettin' used to.

since a picture is worth a thousand words, here's one of my little buddy, bobo, taking a nap. i'm pretty sure there are about a bazillion words to describe him, but a few that immediately come to mind are: chillin', laid back, and at one with the universe.

notice how he's also not-very-self-conscious-despite-the-fact-that-he-has-no-balls? that's because bobo could care less that he has no balls...he's very zen--around the house he's known as the dahli bobo--nothing frazzles him (except maybe the hawks in our backyard in the spring...) bottom line? life is very good when you're the bobo.

"I, not events, have the power to make me happy or unhappy today. I can choose which it shall be. Yesterday is dead, tomorrow hasn't arrived yet. I have just one day, today, and I'm going to be happy in it." ~ Groucho Marx
