Have a Bumbling Good Halloween!

Happy Halloween from Marti the Bumblebee!

Assistant Pug

Marti loves to "help" me work. She shares my chair with me when I'm working at the desktop, and she loves sitting as close to me as she can when I'm on the laptop. Her top job duty is making it as difficult as possible for me to move the mouse. She totally deserves a raise for a job well done.

Some days you're the hydrant

You know the saying, "Some days you're the dog; some days you're the hydrant"? Yesterday, I was the hydrant.

I was minding my own business at the dog park, on watch to make sure Marti wasn't devouring mud, as she's grown quite fond of doing recently. I was there, with my squirt bottle handy to spray her should she even think about it, and I felt a warm sensation on my leg. It took a second before it soaked through my jeans and hit my skin, and by then it was too late to figure out who the culprit was.

I hoped at first that it was my water bottle leaking. But I knew that my water wasn't warm. It was thus confirmed upon jean-removal that it was, indeed, dog urine. I guess my new jeans couldn't stay untarnished forever.
