Citizen Dog by Mark O'Hare for February 17, 2011

That may be a good idea for a book store, Fergie - but not a Library, so Shhhhhhh!. In fact I know one in Edmonton that had a Star Bucks in it.

Good Morning, cleo, sugie & Fellow Baby!

Good morning Grog, Dry, Sugie, cleo, StelBel and everyone.

StelBel, please let us know how Quincy Jack is doing. He has been on my mind, as have you, since I learned about his falling ill a few days ago.

I know how that feels. I lost my two elderly boys within the last year and a half. Benjamin was 13 and Andrew was 14.

They lived, by dog standards, a long life and it was filled with love and happiness. But I still mourn and miss them.

So I hope with all my heart that Quincy Jack recovers and shares many more happy days with you. Good wishes and love to you my friend, and to Quincy Jack.

Sounds like Barnes and Noble. Love going in there!

Good morning Fellow Baby, cleo, and sugie!

puppybreath I had 2 dogs, grew up together, one passed at 16 and one at 17. My last kittie before these, she lived 4 days past her 16th birthday. Loved those pets so much! Sure miss ‘em!

Maybe the public libraries SHOULD lease out some space for a little coffee shop a la Barnes and Noble. It could offset the annual financial worries they have. Good thinking, Fergus! (…because I’m sure that’s what he was concerned about! LOL)

Good Morning, Puppybreath, Dry, Lonewolf, Cleokaya, Grog and Sugie63!

I’m happy to report that Quincy Jack continues to improve: good appetite, alert, more energy and a blur of a wagging tail! Still a little leery about the porch steps, but otherwise very good progress, which, if he continues to get better over the weekend, will allow me to relax. I feel like we indeed dodged a bullet! Thanks for all the positive energy that you sent our way! You’re all very special in our opinion!!

Quincy’s sister, Josephine, passed on in 6/09 (diabetes) Brother, Andrew Ransom, in 10/09 (Cushing’s Disease) Sister, Stella Mae, in 3/10 (Quincey’s twin - -sudden seizures) They were all born 1/98 and I couldn’t bear to give them up, so kept them all. Mom, Lulu, passed on in 1/07. I’m just not ready to lose Quincy, too… It sounds like you’ve all been there and understand only too well. I can’t tell you how much we appreciate your support and caring. Thanks, everyone!

Pretty soon the librarian is going to tell her to keep her voice down.

Great news and Good Morning to you StelBel Hopefully the improvement will continue. You gave your dogs some interesting names. Is there a story behind them?

Good Morning Grog, Dry & sugie!

I can remember when going to the library was a big deal. Now it seems as if people can’t go into a place and be quiet. No cells, no chit chat.

Good Morning Grog, Dry, Cleo, Lonewolf, StelBel & all.

Grog, hope you are feeling better.

StelBel, glad to hear that Quincy Jack is doing well. The power of prayer is awsome!

Our library does have a coffee shop, it does very well. http://www.kentfreelibrary.org/

Thanks for the link Bob Ress. I’ve always found library’s to be very peaceful places. My mother was a volunteer at our local library after she retired from nursing. She did that in between babysitting her grandsons while we worked.

My library is on wheels. The bookmobile stops just a mile down the road on every Tuesday. Since I live several miles from town this is perfect and you can put in requests online and have them awaiting your next visit.

Grog: I hope you’re feeling better, as well.

Cleokaya and Sugie63:….so far, so good……

Cleokaya: Stella Mae–after my great aunt in whose 230 yr. old house I now live Quincy Jack–after Jack Klugman’s TV character, Quincy M.E. and Jack after my grandfather Andrew Ransom–after Andrew Jackson and Ransom, my great, great uncle Lulu and Josephine–no stories here… just liked the names, though my mother used to sing the theme song for Little Lulu all the time!

54 degrees and sunny in W.Massachusetts! Hope you all have a great day!!!

StelBel I see you have an “itchy trigger finger”! LOL! Happens to the best of us! I wondered when I saw that name, Quincy Jack. Immediately I thought of Quincy and Jack Klugman. Josephine was my mother’s name.

Thanks for the infor StelBel I used to love Quincy and Jack Klugman.

The Librarian is about to yell to Fergie, “Quiet, ‘for I smack a hairlip on ya!”

Sorry about the multiple post! It kept loading and loading for almost 10 minutes, so I kept clicking “post comment”. Then I lost the internet connection completely! Enough to drive you bonkers! BTW, the link above is to the original theme for Little Lulu.

Great show, Quincy M.E. We used to watch it all the time.

Even though I loved Quincy and Jack Klugman it never crossed my mind about the name. Sigh, the wonderfulness of being old LOL.

Thanks all. I feel much better today.

StelBel, loved the video. Thanks!

Grog, glad that you are feeling better. I have been fighting a cold for the last few days that actually started with the loss of my hearing, but that scare turned into being just a symptom of what was to come. (I do not mean total loss of my hearing, just felt like someone had stuffed my ears with cotton balls).

my library has a coffee bar and used book store

cleo, I can relate. It’s been a while but the last time something like that happened to me I was on business in Edmonton. The flight back to Montreal rather painful on the ears.

Hope you will be feeling better soon. Fortunately mine was related to some dental work and the the infection involved. I am on antibiotics right now. It was only a matter of time before they started taking effect.

Glad that you are up and running Grog. I am too, for the most sake. My hearing is back, that was the scary thing.

Sorry I missed you Fellow Baby!

StelBel No apologies for the extra posts, happens to me all the time! It was good to see someone else had that problem! :-D

And thanks for the link! Brought back some nice memories!
