Citizen Dog by Mark O'Hare for August 20, 2012

Nothing ever changes.

Good morning, cleo, sugar, Fellow Baby & the rest of the CD gang!

happyathome, being left all alone can, unfortunately be expected when you are the only one living on the left coast. I believe most us, with the exception of yourself and cleo live in either the eastern or central time zones. One of these days though, I’d like to get out to Arizona to stay.

Good morning, CDers!

Royal Canines….

…and those who serve them….

Good morning Fellow Baby, cleo and sugie!

Had to come in through the back door, but I got here!

Good morning also, happy, Stel and IMudd!

Stel the last dog photo you posted, the dog in the green jacket, the dog on the ground standing there, well, it looks like that dog is smelling, well, LOL! the crotch!

Or maybe I just have a “warped” thought process!

good morning people and pets.happy, happy, happy!!!

happyathome, I never was much much into swimming. I’ll just be glad to get out of the Gulf coast humidity.

Good morning kids. Hope all is well in your holes today..Mel is speeding up the process nicely. Fergus has him well trained.

Dry & StelBel you two are killing me with that picture and comments. Brings to mind my gramma’s old dog Smokey. Let’s just say he had a NOSE for personal news.

toon tour…back in a bit…Hi Jkiss!

…and hi everyone else!

Good Morning Grog, Dry, Cleo, StelBel, noicantspell & all CDers out there.

Stel the above Beagle pup is also one of my avatar! Are you getting into my pictures Lady? :-D

It’s no wonder Stel knows how to do all this fancy computer stuff! She’s actually a Hacker! :-D

happy, a “wee” break? A “wee” break?

(Shame on you Dry, for thinking like that! SNERK, SNICKER, SNORT!)

: Dwee,not wee wee…

Hey! Jkiss !!

Good night, everybody! Enjoy your evening!

StelBel I was trying to comment before you left, but the darn submit button failed me again!!.RE: the cute winking and pointing puppyThat one made me ROTFL!! That was great. That little guy is destin for the big time.Good night and sleep well. Enjoy your shows.

STEL I HOPE YOU SEE THIS!

JUST DO WHAT I DO TO REMEMBER THINGS! Here are some simple guidelines, follow them closely, and you will never forget anything again (maybe, if your lucky) 1) make notes on little pieces of paper to be attached to the following: a) microwave b) coffee maker c(front door on the inside so as to see it on your way out the door in the morning d) staple a note around the strap on your pocketbook

2) Throw your hands up in the air, say “why me” and crawl back into bed!

GOODNIGHT ALL! :-D

Sure is quiet here tonight without our resident machine gun kitty. :-).Good night kids. I hope everyone has happy dreams and a restful night.

life isn’t hard enough for me?i have a cousin accusing me of elder abuse because mom and i had Spam for dinner tonight.this is NOT a joke…

this is a post i put on my facebook page this morning (Aug. 21, 2012) as a result of my being attacked and accused of “elder abuse” by a cousin and his wife .Until last night I have ben using fb as a way to keep family and friends informed as to moms and my struggles with Alzheimer’s.It is not an easy path that I have decided to walk, and there are many stones and potholes to cause me to stumble. Most of them I don’t see until I have tripped on them. This is a very frustrating thing I am doing, especially since I have (for whatever reason, I wont judge.) limited help.As a result of my frustrations I have ben using this forum, for right or wrong, as a way to vent my frustrations. I have also bin using it to keep people that care informed as to what is happening with mom.Because of last nights attack on me I have decided to stop posting personal angst and anxieties on Facebook. Neither will I post any Updates on moms condition, or how i am dealing with them. If you want to know, PLEASE feel free to ask. I do get lonely and I would be happy to tell you, privately, by message or on the phone. I don’t need the fear and anxiety from baseless accusations being thrown at me, (or anyone else, for that matter) because of something i said in a “rant”, to add to my daily anxieties.I apologies for anything i may have said to anyone, or about anyone in any of my past postings. The people I lean on for help are WAY busy. They help, when they can. They DO care. And i suppose that it must be frustrating for them to deal with my frustrations, fears, and anxieties.You have to feel for them also. And cut them slack when I don’t.So, if you don’t like what i say, or what i am doing, or how i am doing it, please, unfrend me NOW. When I feel that I can post without people threating, or criticizing me, I MAY start to post updates on moms condition. But no more posts about me.By the way, Spam is good food. I like it or it would not be in my cupboard. I eat it at breakfast, its good in a toasted cheese sandwich, and it is a wonderful backup dinner food if things get tight, time wise, or (like last night) circumstances cause a hiccup in your normal routine. Feeding it to mom is not “elder abuse”. (I do wish it had less salt.)
