Update With Old Hound Photos


First of all, like most holiday seasons, the days of the week have gone out the window. My brain seems to be a day or two ahead of the actual day. A lot of football games on tv will do that to a person. So Friday night Walter and I tuned into the pre-game shows to pass the time until Indiana's kickoff at 6:30 CT. 

It was interesting to see all those ESPN "experts" backtracking with their love fest of Indiana Football after bad mouthing them for two straight years. Only Pat McAfee, the old Indianapolis Colts punter has gone in the opposite direction of ESPN and backed them over the same time period.  

You can see Walter was game ready 4:30 CT.

That Warm Weather Turned Cold Fast



With all of the warm weather near Christmas we had heavy fog almost every night, early mornings. The patio deck and the windows looked like it has rained all night when I would let the hounds and dogs out first thing in the morning. The sun would eventually burn off the fog by noon. It was better than ice and snow so I wasn't complaining.

A Warm Christmas


It was ten years ago when we had a Christmas like this weather. Winston had become paralyzed about a week before this photo on Christmas Day. He couldn't figure out the warm weather either but found it much easier to drag his rear legs as he continued to 'walk' in the back yard and into the field. I just saw this morning where I live now, tied their highest temperature of 68° on Christmas Day. It was a record all the way back to 1938 when global warning was all over the news.
