Things to Look for Next Month

Not much in this post but notice that coming in March will be the diary with photos of The Millenium New Year trip to Europe. This action packed trip was a "once-in-a-lifetime" adventure. This was the perfect way to start a new year...and the people and sights were terrific.

We started with a brief tour of London..but we knew we would end this trip there...then off we go to Dusseldorf, Germany. Then the driving tour began. Countries visited: Chech Republic, Austria, Switzerland, Italy, France and England. We made the rounds, and looking back, it would have been nice to document this trip as it happened. But, not to be out done...look for it as the postings begin the first week of March.

I'm currently in Florida with Doug. Had to come see the pups..that's right, Boji and Charley and Molly. It was nice to see that I had not been forgotten..and the kisses have been in abundant supply since my arrival. They all sleep with Boots and me. I manage to find a place to curl up to make room for them. With the exception of Boots, the pups are small, but seem to take more space than Boots. Boots snores, too! Loudly! They never cease to amaze me. All of them manage to make it out just at daylight. When they return, it's as if they haven't seen me in a very, very long time, making sure that I am awake and know how excited they are to see me at this very moment. I love the kisses, but not that early. With wet feet..and cold noses and sometimes damp fur, they are all over me...can't turn my head without a pup's face lying in ambush with bad breath (the puppy breath is long gone) and a wet tongue for the exposed nose, ear and sometimes even the mouth should I not move quickly enough. In all honesty, I enjoy every second of it..and each of them know it. If I make the mistake of laughing or not moving quickly enough...they just delight in a frenzied strategic attack...cute little buggars! As I make this post (10:35 p.m.), Boots is lying across the bed at the head and snoring (sounds kind of like my dad), Boji is at the corner of the foot with her head on the corner board, Charley is stretched out along the rail and Molly has cleverly placed herself near the center so no one moves without her knowing and being the first to react. At least she's still tonight. Last night she was much too hyper and just would not settle down. Finally she curled up on the pillow by my head....licked my ear once..and seemed to settle for the night. Good night.
