    That was like watching a pit bull fight a kitten.

    Lizzie, this looks like a good site: ► Corgi Rescue We had lots of wind and some rain yesterday, but today is a little calmer and not quite as rainy, though we've had some drizzle today.

    Q, that video was a riot, and the punk music went so well with a terrier! Lizzie, have you tried a corgi rescue? I had a friend who wanted a specific breed of dog and contacted rescues that specialized in that breed.

    Can you visit and meet the puppies? I think, if you find one that appeals to you, that will be your decision. I think, from now on, if I ever get pets again, I'll wait for them to come to me. My best pets have been the ones that found me, not vice versa.

    The latest on tutoring. The new girl is doing wonderfully lately. She has an amazing memory. I have a list of 10 words that the kids get from former reading where they didn't know the word. I explain it at the time, but it comes up again in that list of fill-in-the-blanks, where I make...

    Terry, it was good to hear from you and know Rave is OK. I don't know about everyone else, but I missed you guys.

    Sometimes wonder about those competitors on eBay. Does a friend of the seller bid and drive the price up? I bet that happens.

    Sorry. I posted 2 versions of the same message twice. I didn't see the first happen, so I thought it got lost somehow. Well, now you have 2 different takes on the same thing.

    When I boarded Penny at Deb's, there were days where we rode our horses through all sorts of scary obstacles. Penny's problems were going under something that brushed her head. She also was very reluctant to walk through a firm plastic wading pool weighed down with a bit of sand in the bottom...

    Try getting them to walk through one of those firm plastic wading pools. That was set up in an obstacle course where I boarded Penny, and she hated doing that. They put a bit of sand in the bottom of the pool to stabilize it. Another thing Penny wouldn't do was to stick a foot into the center of...

    I didn't tutor today, since all the kids wanted to go trick-treating. So I drove over the hill to a winery and got some wine. Lots of the people who visited the winery were in costume. One group all had green elf hats. Some started to go into the winery but were called back by their tour leader...

    Uncle, I wish I had known about the Halloween parade in the Village back then. It sounds and looks like such fun.

    I think it takes about 6 months to lose all the testosterone. I researched this when Penny was turned out with a newly gelded horse. The age of the 2 horses might be a factor, since young horses tend to be more submissive. When they mature at 4 or 5, sometimes they challenge their position in...

    An abbreviated tutoring report. The 3 kids from the one family were sick, so I only tutored the new girl today. I bet it's that cold I'm hoping I don't get. Last time the original girl was sniffing, and I suggested to her that she blow her nose. She didn't want to. No one in that family knows...

    "Well, the Greek yogurt you have there :facepalm: I wish you guys were here so i can feed you the right stuff." Trit said this, and I agree, if the Greek yogurt is like the Turkish yogurt I ate in Turkey. I don't know how it was made, but it was a little yellow, not pure white, and it was a lot...
