The Freaky ..and the Awwww

Freaky! :
Yes, that is a bald squirrel giving me Satanic Squirrel Glare. Yes, I'm just mean enough to have chased the naked little bastard away from my feeder.


The Awwwww! :
Akita and kitty love. So cute it'll make you throw up.

Random dog butt.

Well..random dog tail, rather. Irie's Akita curl.

Shopping links...and Voo Shoes

Because I'm feeling lazy..and cold..and I still haven't finished cleaning the kitchen cabinets..we'll shop online instead.

I heart shopping here and here.
Lookie here annnnd here. My absolute favorite place.

And on the flip side. Here, too.



Just because he's damned cute in his fleece jacket and boots: Voodoo in Shoes
Give the guy a break...it was -23F.

My perfect balance

Functional.. and superfun.



Nothing says "mature adult" like pink and white skull rubber boots.

Whoa.

Last publish date was September 15th.
Maybe not a bad thing, to step away from blogging for a bit.

Same old, same old here in WV! Except we're in the deathgrip of winter. Joy.
Puppy Irie is 72 pounds, still a baby (brindle Akitagirl). Just a Super Sized baby.

I'm already planning next years garden. Seed/flower catalogs get me through Jan and Feb..the two most delightful months in the Ohio Valley.

Lessee...I had oral surgery in November. FUN!
Ummmm..I have to have a CT scan this coming Friday. SUPERfun!
I am happy to report the barium will be oral.
Not thrilled with the whole concept, but given the alternative methods of barium delivery.........pass the barium shake!

I'll gather my thoughts (ahahahhahahaha!) and post a slightly less "all over the place" blog this afternoon.

@#$% Ike.

Living in northern WV, I should never receive weather warnings in my inbox that contain the word "hurricane". *snarl*
I should never have to think about cleanup from said "hurricane weather". *snort*

The remnants of Ike that tore through the Ohio Valley did make for some gorgeous skies.



















The damage..not so gorgeous.
The tip of the iceberg:

Chili dogs and bantha skulls..

Hot Dog Shoppe? Let's Roll!

Friday evening, I had the brilliant idea to get a local favorite for dinner..Hot Dog Shoppe.
Fake cheese and mediocre chili combine on a hot dog or french fries to create a culinary masterpiece.
Bliss on a steamed bun...or hand-cut fries.
Yes, I know it's fat and sodium galore..preservatives..yadda yadda.
Do you get the feeling I don't care? :)



Because...we're nerdy like that.


"Ridin' Dirty" for LabRat. *teehee*


Mmmmm..that *hack* Ohio *cough* smell! Waste Technology Industries providing brown, chewy air for us all!


A rare OH moose, surveying his domain from atop the ..Moose Lodge.




Masochist hot dog man...he LIKES getting devoured!




Truly, a sight to behold. Hot Dog Man on Weathervane. You can't tell in the pic, but he's spiked through his middle. And he's grinning. And holding condiments.



Lacey, just for you:

mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
