Critters that call me grandma

Off Topic
  • One son and wife have Mona, an enormous rottweiller who sometimes knocks me over in her eagerness to say hi to grandma. They also have Toad, a black lab puppy and Rufus, a fat cat who was rescued from a neighbor's roof. My son in California has Pete, a parrot, who likes to sit on his shoulder while he's working at the computer and says Change the channel, dork, to which my son replies Dude, this is a computer not a television. He also says Turn the light out buddy. They are currently working on saying Hi Grandma, so any day now I expect to get a very strange phone call….

    @JENGOSMonkey I WAS THERE FOR '89! I was a kid, but I remember the water coming out of the swimming pool in huge waves and everything falling from the shelves! I was actually born in San Jose, but moved around a lot later LOL I hear the wildfires are more of a concern for you guys now? That's scarier than quakes for me...

    @sanjibasenji Thanks for the article on Dog Genome Project - I found it very interesting. I was trying to figure out the interactive Genome wheel. It has the basenji closely related to the Azawakh and rat terrier but I’m still trying to figure out the first wheel which has the basenji listed w/ black/grey starting point. As far as the PBS Dog Tales video - it’s very interesting - it’s season 47 episode 2 - I highly recommend you watch the whole thing (54 minutes).

    @Kembe, nice post! We've gone to solid food chopped up in a food processor, but we're grinding it a bit more course as we go. So far, no puppies are choking, but good to know!
