Having a dog grow old is almost too much to dear anymore. They live such bright, intense lives but it passes far too quickly. You know the drill.

I think I need to give one of my dogs a hug…

Someday maybe but not soon. Still want to feel like flying on two wheels!

The dogs serve for a twenty to forty minute warm-up before I head to the exercise equipment. I try and get an hour of aerobic exercise 3 to 4 times a week and walking on top of that.

It’ would take more walking than I can handle to wear out Junior or Lily.

Thanks Brent. Sometimes the day unfolds and a little story just emerges from the actions of the day.

For many years I was a cat person. And then I was a dog person again. Love them both actually but don’t tell Junior or Lily. They have fragile egos…

My desire for old cars is gone and I’m not sure I would have ever wanted a Caddy. But for some, it’s the thing to have.

I’m with you. Something comforting about People mag stories. Maybe that’s why they’re often in doctor’s and dentist’s offices — to distract from the approaching discomfort and anxiety.

I don’t need that kind of cardiac work!

No Ducati for an epic trip that doesn’t involve the Vespa. If I was planning an epic trip not sure what I would want to ride. Assuming no heavy offroad riding I would lean toward a Triumph Bonneville or Scrambler, a BMW K75 or R90, a Honda Nighthawk 750, Harley Sportster 883, or maybe even the 650 V Strom.

Haven’t tried Lily in a sidecar but if she’s as smart as Junior she’ll want no parts of such nonsense. I’ll try her out the next time I have the opportunity.

I suspect there is some wolf genes in their makeup from long ago but so far neither has howled.
