    I was TV channel surfing yesterday and came across a rerun of the dog show from Philadelphia. Such a variety of dogs! Big and little; sleek, fluffy, curly and so many colors! They herd, they play, some go hunting and always give love. The host told a story about a Great Dane who made himself a lap dog! He would choose a person and take his spot! I’ve been leaned on by a Great Dane and his person told me I could hug him in return ❤️ I just enjoyed seeing all the different breeds of dogs.

    A few days ago, I went to the local fair with a friend. At the entrance, there are now metal detectors, and "absolutely no knives allowed". My friend carried a small pocket knife, so he had to return it to his car. No big deal, just a minor inconvenience.
    Inside the fair, we visited a building with all kinds of vendors. One of them was selling kitchen knives, mostly large one, all laid out for anybody to grab one and start stabbing people if they were so inclined.
    I was stunned and disturbed.
    How is that for safety?

    WHOA! How weird is that! And how dangerous, as you said.

    Did you say anything to the people selling the knives, or to anyone supposedly in charge of running the fair?

    My friend wrote a letter to the local news station about this. We'll see if they respond.

    Two cute TV commercials

    My dad just called. There’s a really cute TV commercial for Subaru that stars a family of dogs and he wanted me to put the TV on and see it! I was already watching the news on that channel so I got to see it. There must be more than one because this one had the family on the road, which I hadn’t seen before. I can’t afford a Subaru but the commercial is so sweet! I think my dad is a dog person as well as a cat person!

    There’s also one for Allstate where Dean Winters plays Mayhem as a cat and even drinks from the tap. I always laugh when I see that one!

    Those sound really cute, Elyse! I hope I'll get to see them!

    I’ve learned that the doggie stars of the Subaru commercials are the Barkley family I saw another one this evening involving a car wash, but I won’t spoil it! Go on You Tube and look for them, because they’re so sweet!

    Groundhog Day and I learned something! A neighbor county has a wildlife rehab center, and they have a groundhog. They announced that he would not be making a weather prediction today. I didn’t know this, but groundhogs hibernate. Their heart rate and breathing slow down, so it’s harmful to disturb them. The rehab checks on their groundhog regularly. I did not know they hibernate. And the zoo no longer has one so they don’t observe the day. I’m still hoping for an early spring!

  12. Drive a bit down the road from here an all the snow is melted off. but on my property i still sink up to my knees in snow.
    im so on the bandwagon with you for wanting a early spring LOL

    We have had an oddly mild winter here so far ... but the heaviest snows are usually February and March anyway, so no bets either way!

    It is here very mild here, too. Almost 70 degrees (F) today.
    I worked in the garden yesterday, and now I have spring fever!

    We've had a couple of very mild days, temps in the high 30s, low 40s (F).. but it's going to turn back into winter Thursday, with a prediction of snow all day.
