Regrets - I've Had a Few...

Someone on the explore chat suggested I keep a blog of my pictures that I caption. After a huge search, some pilfering, and digging through old files, I've found most of them. Thanks to all the CPs who helped - I learned a lot doing this! The pics were a wonderful archive of fabulous memories of the last six months since I learned to do some photo-shopping and captioning. Some are still missing: I really wish I had the pic of the giraffe peeking into the business meeting in the new G-tent, Dutchie adventures on Puppy Hill and Neal's arrival in the nursery, the antics of the puppies at WCC trying to reach the window in the PEC or heading down to the river for a swim.... I'm hoping some pop up from time to time in the Facebook pages - it seems pics do occasionally resurface with whatever algorithm FB uses. But from now on, I intend to keep adding them to the blog - my own memory book for SDP and WCC.

If, by any chance, you've saved one of my captioned pics to your own files somewhere, could you PM it to me? Thanks!! Enjoy the trip back down memory lane.

Auntie ARiot

18 November. 2015

Margaret captured a great shot of ARiot playing with the guppies.  She was adorable last night - pawing them and letting them chomp on her ear.  Best Auntie EVER!!!!

Auntie ARiot is everyone's favorite housedog - well, next to the Queen herself, she is! Grace's shadow!!  If you want to find Grace, look for ARiot!!

My first experience with her was last January's volunteer dinner when I housesat.  The second Grace left to go to the party, ARiot parked herself in front of the door and moaned.........and kept moaning for about 20 minutes.  Toys, cookies, pets - nothing would entice her to leave that door.  She finally left to go sit on a futon and kept her eyes PEELED to that door for the next three hours, waiting for her Grace.

She is SO good with all the babies, little or big and is the best babysitter on Puppy Hill EVER!!!!! (Sorry, Uncle Walter, and Chaos - she is just that good!)  Today's pic of her with little Ruby ("Don't Take Your Love to Town, Ruby!!) just made me think of a talk between a newbie and the old 'Dutch Onkel':






Miss Maeve came for a visit and mayhem erupted from those little Guppies!  ARiot was up to the task - for a while - and then she REALLY needed a nap.  There've been a number of days from when I was teaching where I felt EXACTLY like this - totally outnumbered and outgunned!






I know we humans are constantly counting little puppy bodies - so this caption just made perfect sense - especially as some of us are STILL trying to tell a couple of those mantles apart!!!
