Wordless Wednesday: Walk’N Roll 2013
Wordless Wednesday: Pareidolia has landed
I’m aware the privacy fencing on the patio needs replacing. Oh, I do. I know this because it keeps coming up on the honey-do list, even though the task never seems to make it to the top ten of what to fix next in our quaint little abode.
Built in 1949, our house was the first in the area. And I say the place, with its time worn charm, is aging gracefully. I stand alone with this conviction.
So instead of worrying about the awkward slant our tired fencing has decided as its position of comfort, I see a photo op in the manner of an open knothole.
And pretty sure that I can get a dog nose to poke through there.
That’s Jager’s snooter in the top photo. Not exactly what my mind’s eye envisioned when I set up the shot. If you look closer, perhaps you see what I do. A pink alien head with big black eyes peering out with a sense of benign curiosity. Now I can’t not see it.*
And then this.
Yup, another grayling peeking out, this one with a more ominous gaze. Micron’s boop button won’t even fit through the knothole.
But because it’s the mighty Micron. We get this too.
Good lord, check out the length of the shadow the thing has cast. Some fearsome alien weapon, that tongue.
Yeah, I’m done now. Prolly should move the fence replacement up a notch or two on the list.

*The ability to see faces and other stuff in random images is pareidolia. I couldn’t remember this word, nevermind spell it, without help from Google.
But check out the ever helpful Google and its sentient attempts to guess what I wanted to look up.
Ability to see farts, people? I am not going to do an image search on this. I am not.

Wordless Wednesday: Caption This #11
![]() |
| I SAID!, said Euka. YOU SHOULD HAVE PACKED A SANDWICH INSTEAD! |
What about this looks so familiar, you wonder. Right? There’s that Déjà vu thing again – that ethereal feeling like you’ve already had a microwave meal for lunch every day this week? Or is it because you’re just collecting Lean Cuisine points to get that snappy new lunch bag so you’re willing to down one more pasta conglamerate in a frozen box even though the very thought of it makes you not hungry anymore, but it’s the only thing you packed and you do really want the special edition lunch bag so you have to at least nuke it for the box label?
Is that the feeling? Or is it because you just saw this photo a few days ago on The Ohio E’s Celebrate Their First Birthday right here on the dog blog? Which may be doubly impressed upon your memory cells because that particular photo of Emma and Euka reminded me of this one below?
And if memory services, I introduced this adorable shot to y’all in Caption This #9. A post worth a second look just for the caption ideas, by the way.

| Hey Emma, says Euka. What do you get when you cross an elephant with a rhino*? [sigh], says Emma (photo by Chris Kittredge Photography) |
And while we’re on the topic of captions, let’s put some thought into the top photo, shall we?
So what d’ya think? Yeah, I know. Euka’s just yawning in Emma’s face, like she’s been raised with no manners whatsoever. So we could take this a couple of ways – build a clever caption making a case for these two very bored dogs or instead, with a squint of your eyes, pretend that our Euka is saying something REAL LOUD.
Inspired now? Drop us a comment with your clever thoughts.

Wordless Wednesday: Freedom to . . .
Not quite a vintage photo of our handsome fella. And actually it feels like we just were at the polls voting for our local school levy, but this was indeed back when the mighty Micron was still a pup in training for Canine Companions for Independence.
See the oh so kissable black nose? That boop button is now a mature dudley pink, a mark of distinction thanks to the genetics running through the CCI dogs. But still worthy of the occasional smooch.
Micron was my escort while I exercised my rights as a registered voter on this particular election day in 2010. And I’m proud to be free to vote for whom I what and on the issues that affect my community.
And today I remember that this freedom comes at a cost, during this time of remembrance for those lost on that day when terrorism reached our soil and changed us forever.
Today’s anniversary is also a memorial to those who sacrificed all to ensure we can continue our noble pursuits of life, liberty and happiness.
And so, today’s post is dedicated to the memory of SFC Ofren “AC” Arrechaga .
Wordless Wednesday: A Lab-derriere cross
What do you get when you cross a Labrador with a terrier?
No really, I’m hoping you might know. A lab-derriere cross, perhaps?
A vintage shot of Jager and our first CCI puppy, the lovely Inga, on vacation with us in the RV. The cooler weather has inspired me with thoughts of autumn. When then led to fond memories of a fall camping trip on Skyline Drive with these two road dogs.
Wait just a sec, you say. Did we just see the words RV and camping trip used in the same context? C’mon now. Does one truly “camp out” in an RV?
And I would respond to this by saying that RV is an acronym, not a word. Otherwise, good catch, y’all. Even traveling in a rustic beast such as this, we were far from roughing it.
But road trips with the dogs has always been my vacation of choice. And I can prove it, too. For those who want an early taste of autumn, grab yourself a pumpkin spice latte and do some leisurely clickin’ for our past RV adventures.
