When the weather gets gloomy, Beethoven likes to snuggle under his blanket. Click on the image to enlarge.

I haven’t posted one of my nerdy 3D pictures for a while, so here’s one I took today on our shopping trip to the Valley Metroplex.

There is a roadside rest stop a few miles southeast of Wickenburg that is situated along the banks of the Hassayampa River. The area is habitat for riparian wildlife unique to this part of Arizona.

The tree trunk in the foreground is a mesquite, with a variety of other vegetation in the background. We did not see any of the birds or woodland critters today, but this is still a pleasant spot to pull off of US 60 for a rest.

Too much football, family and food to blog. Have a nice day!

We went to the County recycle center today to turn in aluminum cans. After that, we did some grocery shopping. We left the dogs in the fenced-in patio while we were doing errands. When we got home, we discovered to our horror that the little dogs had found some rat bait in a bucket on top of a small table. Somehow, they got up on the table and drug the package out. We’re not sure how much was left in the package, but it was sure all gone now.

We called the vet and they advised bringing the pets and the package of bait immediately to the animal hospital. To make a long story short, the vet induced both of them to vomit and then gave them an activated charcoal treatment to absorb any residual poison in their gastrointestinal tracts.

Bottom line, there is a 99% chance of them recovering. We have some vitamin K-1 tablets for them to take over the next month or so with some follow-up visits to our Arizona vet.

We brought the dogs to California today. This is Bay Bay’s first visit to California (that we know about). He was a good boy during the six-hour trip and likes the “big house” too. He and Cabela chased around and around the family room, the living room and the garage. They make good playmates when given enough room to roam.

When the weather gets cool, the Mama lets me snuggle on her lap under my blankie. Since I don’t have long hair, I shiver when I’m cold but I am nice and cozy when I snuggle. Sometimes the Mama scratches my ears and neck.

I also like to snuggle with the Daddy. He sits on the sofa watching TV and lets me curl up next to him. I am really getting used to my new hoomins. I think I will stay here.

I snapped this today while walking the dogs on the road in front of the new house. The temperature was a brisk 42° so the dogs and I finished our business and went back inside the cozy house seen in the photo. Click on the image to enlarge.
