Deep sigh

I sat down to write this entry and the giant squid decided to write it with me... You think it's easy to write with His Holiness hovering?

Cowboy here. Mini amazon on my lap thinks she's in a spank free zone.

"Piss-ant!"

"Bambina--"

Cowboy had to go out of town for a couple of days. I thought... ohhhh a couple days on my own - I'll eat LARGE. He didn't tell me that Bull was coming back from Arkansas that evening and I wouldn't be on my own after all. Tsk. Then I remembered how easy it was to get Bull to see things (life, food, naughty stuff) my way so I didn't feel badly at all.

Cowboy here. I told Bull I don't care what the imp eats, just make sure she eats a lot and gets plenty of rest.

Bull is great entertainment. I think he should be listed in Ripley's Believe it or not. You know those John Deere machines where there's this humonguous shovel thing that scoops up the earth? That's Bull when he's eating. He ate an entire blueberry pie while he waited for me to warm up his dinner. Dinner was 2 bowls of pasta e fagioli and an entire pan of lasagna. He also helped himself to a platter of garlic bread and finished the linguini I was eating. (I took my bowl of ice cream into my bedroom to eat so I could eat without sharing.)

Cowboy called while he was away to see if I was resting and eating and behaving.

Of course I was!

He casually mentioned that Bull and I should stay OUT of his office... Oh! Good idea!

So... I sent Bull to the store to get food reinforcements... and the pups and I went into Cowboy's office. I had to pick the lock because the Neanderthal changed them.

not-so lightSWAT

...And I noticed the gun cabinet had a new lock... I considered that a challenge so I picked it also. Took a little longer than usual... I think I need to practice on that one a few more times.

"SAR!"

"Jeez, you don't have to shout."

Cowboy doesn't like for anyone to eat in his office. Coffee is okay but no food things.

The pups and I settled on his leather couch... I was going to read a book but they started sniffing for snacks. I tore open a box of Twinkies and we consumed those. I think I picked up all the wrappers but I didn't count them...

"Found one you missed on the arm of the couch."

"Tsk."

I had some chocolate while the pups finished off the Cracker Jack boxes. Their slobber smelled sweet but the bottom of the couch got a little sticky.

"Your butt's gonna get sticky too as soon as I heat it to a sweaty degree."

"Tsk. I saved the Cracker Jack prizes for you."

Cowboy here. Counting to 10-- 20--50--grinding my teeth.

New subject: Baseball and the World Series

Men (and some ladies) get very excited about the World Series. This does nothing for me, of course, but baseball is an American invention and so I feel it's my patriotic duty to explain a few things to those who live north or south of our borders and/or on another continent, island or archipelago.

First... I have no idea why it's called the "world" series when the baseball teams are all from the United States. If they're not all from the US, I'm sure someone will let me know.

The first game is tonight at Fenway Park which is in Boston. I know the Boston Red Sox are playing because why would any other team play in their backyard? The other team is the Yankees.

"Not the Yankees, bambina."

"The Brooklyn Dodgers?"

"The Dodgers aren't in Brooklyn any more and they're not playing either."

"Not in Brooklyn? Egads! Why not?"

"Because they moved to California."

"They moved to California? When did this happen?"

"Not long after you were born."

"Well I don't mind telling you. I think that was VERY unAmerican of them!"

"So who's the other team?"

"The Rockies."

"Never heard of them."

Anybody else think Cowboy was being just a teeny bit sarcastic there? The Rockies? Oh puleeeeeeze.

I will have to explain the intricacies of baseball another time. Right this minute, I'm trying to digest the news about the Brooklyn Dodgers. The California Dodgers? Good Lord! How revolting is that?

On the health front: I'm feeling okay. Have an occasional twinge of discomfort but cardiologist says I can exercise a little more. I've had quite a few tests done - none of them pleasant. Increased some meds and as long as things improve, I'm good as gold. If there's no significant improvement, we'll look into some other alternatives. No medics were annihilated during those tests; however... a whole new bunch have learned the meaning of fear...

There's a full moon in a couple of days. I'm dancing nude under it even if I have to get up in the middle of the night to do that! I have NEW leg warmers and a beautiful mask so my legs and face will be warm...

Cowboy here: And her tush too if she does.

"Just five minutes. I have to have at least five minutes."

"5 and a half and you won't be warm, bambina. You'll be hot."

Have I ever mentioned his lack of couth?
