Hope you all had a merry Christmas.

Luckily for me, MB has not dressed me up like a Pilgrim or a Thanksgiving turkey or other food item to snap a photo of me.
But Christmas is coming soon. Dogs and cats, I implore you to watch out for humans bearing red stocking caps, antlers, or jingle bells. They may be preparing to use you as a prop for the annual Christmas card photograph.

This past Sunday was a beautiful sunny day. MB brought me with her on a photo-taking expedition. We drove by Busch Stadium which is being torn down so that the new Busch Stadium (visible in the right side of the photo) can take its place.
You can see me in the car looking at all the hustle and bustle of activity. Mostly knocking down and moving of rubble was happening on Sunday. The construction part of the operation might only happen on weekdays.
There were many humans looking at the scene, but I was the only dog around. Perhaps other dogs came by later, but I remained in the vehicle so was unable to leave them any dog messages.

Oh my!
This is a photograph of me, taken by Amy, "negativized" by MB, and with "red-eye" and bloody mouth effect added by SJ. The result is a frightening apparition. Halloween night seems the appropriate time to add it to my blog.
- Touille, actually a very sweet dog - most of the time
Seth was so excited about his costume he had to put it on early. Nice fangs, eh?From the look on this kitty's face, I fear that adding a horned costume is gilding the lily, so to speak.
this is zipper, she was found in an abandoned building and was adopted by my landlord and her daughter. for all that zipper lacks in looks, she makes up for in personality. she is very sweet and loves everyone, especially children. as her health improves, we hope her coat will begin to fill out, she is healthy otherwise. although she is a mystery mix, we have decided that she is her own breed, a "mexican bat dog" bred in mexico to chase fruit and vegetable stealing bats away from villages.I think that Zipper is a fine looking dog. And her personality probably beats mine, because she "loves everyone, especially children" (emphasis mine).
She did not like the Flash...Our great watchdog Maggi... This would be the face she would give you.. if you ever tried to and break in our house .... God rest your soul!!! This was a very tough shot to take, both for my safety and also my dog never usually turns on me like this.I don't blame Maggi for this ferocity. Humans sometimes seem to think that we dogs are just props to be photographed. The Flash is not fun. It is almost as bad as The Vacuum Cleaner.
They told him dogs couldn't go.
After Hurricane Katrina struck, the U.S. Coast Guard plucked Bobby Alberti, 59, and his dog Rover from a roof and took them to higher ground at the University of New Orleans.
Helicopters were on their way to the campus to fly people to Interstate 10, where buses would take them to shelters with food and medical care.
But dogs had to stay behind.

"Kimbo, having tired of bopping the ball back to my husband, decided to go for a bite. The four black dots on the bottom yellow section of the ball are repairs from previous successes."
The photographer, Kristin Breaux, says:
One of my jobs in monitoring the Associated Press photo wire.
I see hundreds of images that will never be published, but I think these photos are worth sharing with you.
Even though some of these images are sad and harrowing, I take comfort in them. They remind me that people are inherently compassionate and caring. I hope you draw strength from them, too.
All images by The Associated Press in New Orleans, Biloxi and the rural Gulf Coast.

Lynksys proofreading my novel-in-progress for me! She's my technical advisor on the felines in the story.I am sure that SuziJane's novel will be a best seller with such excellent advice from Lynksys. You can see that she is very intent on her proofreading job here.

“Our built environment is made of materials that have been extracted and taken from far off locations. The manufacturing of those materials often consume huge quantities of non-renewable energy resources and can affect the biosphere. The eventual disposal of those manufactured materials is often malignantly reintegrated back into the biosphere.
I worry about Nature.
My worries can protect Nature.
My life depends on Nature.
I am shifting my balance centre and assuming to the public a sustainable attitude.” Flô

Scientists have created eerie zombie dogs, reanimating the canines after several hours of clinical death in attempts to develop suspended animation for humans. US scientists have succeeded in reviving the dogs after three hours of clinical death, paving the way for trials on humans within years. Pittsburgh's Safar Centre for Resuscitation Research has developed a technique in which subject's veins are drained of blood and filled with an ice-cold salt solution.
