Life and Stuff

I woke up this morning to the news that in addition to Tropical Storms Ana and Bill that we now also had Tropical Storm Claudette moving very close to the shores of Florida and Alabama in the Gulf Coast.  This meant that I had to go outside and get ready.  Since we never know exactly where the storms will come on land we have to be prepared.  I spent my day checking the generator and getting cans have gas.  I also had to bring in all items in the yard that might fly around in high winds (wind chimes, hanging baskets, bird feeders, etc).  Claudette was not predicted to be a big storm but since Bill is looking like it will be a hurricane and the season is perking up I had to go ahead and get prepared.  This also meant a trip to the store to stock up on batteries, water and canned foods and propane gas for the grill.

Once I had completed these tasks I mowed the yard, did some weed eating, did 2 loads of laundry and cooked supper.  I then called my mother in Washington State to tell her a storm had her name (she is a Claudette).  I found it quite humorous when she asked what they were predicting.  I said small in size, lots of wind and rain.  She laughed and said that sounded just like her.  Pint sized with a wallop!  After that a nice hot shower to clean up after a long day of getting storm ready here at the coast!

All in all it was a busy day but productive which is always good.

I have a six year old Golden Retriever.  Her name is Bridgette.  I got her for Valentine’s Day from my parents in 2004.  I chose her because she was somewhat of a runt.  She is an extremely hyper dog.  She loves to lick.  She also loves playing with soft, squeaky toys, like the Loofah Dogs; those are her personal favorite.    My father also has a golden retriever named Annie.  Bridgette did not like Annie at first.  My dad likes to tell the story of when Bridgette took Annie at the end of our street, and then Bridgette came running back to our house.  Despite that incident, now Annie and Bridgette are very close to one another.   While some people dress up their dogs, I have never been able to find any dog cologne spray that fit Bridgette.  Not that I would ever get them on her.  It’s hard enough to put a collar on her.  She also hates wearing things on her head, like Halloween hats and Santa hats.  Although she was a bit wild as a puppy, she is now one of the best behaved dogs I know.

I honestly think I have the most awesome dog ever! His name is Chico and he’s a mut. I think He’s some kind of mix between a Pekingese and a Poodle. My mom is a doctor and during my senior year in high school one of her patients brought him in to her office, placed him on her desk and left. From that moment on he was my dog. He’s the most loyal, friendly, energetic dog a pet owner could have. I love how excited he is to see me everyday when I get home from work, so I can take him for a walk and he can wear his winter dog jacket. My favorite thing for him to do is snuggle up against my feet and fall asleep when I’m reading in front of the fireplace.  I’m so glad the lady abandoned him years ago. I can’t imagine my life without him.

How can we escape against dogs bitten?   What are the main reasons for dog bitten?  Mostly children or below fourteen are affected by the dogs bitten.  According to the recent surveys, the most frequently bitten people are children.  Any type of dog can bite if your behaviors are something different and courageous. If any children keep on doing something what makes the dog getting irritation or anger, it might bite you.  Perhaps if dog’s ears are laid back and if dog’s tail settled in between the legs, you can understand it is scared.  When you approach such dogs, it might run away or it might bite immediately.  So you should not go closer to that if it looks like that.   On the other hand, usually shy dogs will behave very gentle, loving and obedient.  But when they have frightened they may try to bite.  If you reach into their dog Christmas stockings then they will probably bite. One thing you have to remember that if a dog’s tail may even be wagging, but a wagging tail does not always mean a friendly dog. We should advice our children never try to touch a dog when it is feeding.  Try to avoid teasing your dogs playfully.  You should not disturb any dog while sleeping.   You can pat a dog on the side of the face, under the chin or on the chest when you meet a new dog and you should not place your head above a dog’s head.  Do not approach a new dog when it is chained up.  Finally if any strange dog comes up to you, stand still like a pillar.

I have ADHD and it is really, really hard for me to ever feel totally absorbed in anything. When I come close to really losing myself because I am so into something that is the best fun there is for me in the entire world. This always seems to involve bringing disparate pieces together into some sort of pleasing unity: I love to play video puzzle games, work Sudoku puzzles, create power point presentations, write rhyming verse lyrics or poems, and make scrapbook collages by inserting and arranging art, photos, and text in Word documents. I even love helping people move or building projects – my theme seems to be arranging and building and filling spaces in useful, pleasing ways!

Full of huzzle puzzle activities were occurred in the last weekend of my life. We had a great plan to celebrate our close friend’s birthday in pompous manner. Everything was planned accurately and thus the party with all galore was scheduled nicely in a five star hotel. So everyone was gathered at the event but the birthday baby was not there. We were searching for him all over the place. Suddenly to our surprise he came out of the cake, which was so big like a small mountain, and made us to raise our eyebrows. Then the event went of very successfully.

Getting a new puppy is a wonderful experience.  My wife and I did this just a couple of months ago and upon bringing Sadie home we realized that we were going to have some work cut out for us in training her.  We quickly learned that puppies have very little control of their bladders and so Sadie began to relieve herself all over our living room floor.  We couldn’t clean up the mess fast enough before she had done it somewhere else.  She even managed to find a good place to potty on my closed laptop.  The first time we managed to get Sadie too potty outside it was such a feeling of accomplishment.  As she learned to control her bladder and potty in the correct place (outside) we began to develop rewards for her.  She started off with getting dog treats but before to long my wife decided Sadie needed a larger reward.  She went to the dog store searched and found the perfect item for our Sadie, small dog clothes, and she loves them!

Bond movies are never the same now! I loved watching Sean Connery in the Bond movies. He was tailor made for those Bond roles, with his tall, suave and intelligent image. I do not remember how many times I must have watched his old Bond movies on big screen as well as on television. Many heroes came and went in Bond roles after Connery, but no one was as good as him and pleasurable. I loved him in “Con Air’ and “Indiana Jones and the last crusade” too! He gives that special flavor to his roles and the poise and confidence with which he carries himself is thoroughly admirable.

One of the most viable and vulnerable pets of people is dog. Macroscopically there are several domestic varieties of dogs prevailing across the length and breadth of the world. Some of the important dog breeds could be of indigenous or exotic nature.  These pups have a greater attraction among children. They treat the pups as their dear friends. The stray dogs are dangerous as they bite the passer by. The dog bite would create a disease called hydrophobia which could be fatal if untreated. Now there are a lot of hi-tech medicines evolved to inactivate the poison of dog bite. Extra tall dog gates are fixed firmly with iron fencing. Dogs normally have the power of smelling the thieves which is used in police arena. Some may treat their pet dogs on par with their children. The dogs are considered to be the grateful being of animal kingdom. It would oblige its boss and turn to their orders. The main criteria visualized among dogs are its safeguarding nature of their homes and showing the maximum gratitude to their owners. People fond of pets would choose dogs as their first choice. Doberman, Dalmatian, Alsatian, Bull dog, German Shepherds, Dachshund are some of the interesting varieties.

My favorite website is www.Gamespot.com because I can get the latest updates on my favorite games there. I have Xbox 360 and I love playing games on this system. Gamespot ratings help to let me know which games I should buy and which I should rent also ratings help me avoid some games I thought originally would be good then get rating of 5 and below. I love the cheats and walkthrough section help me when I get stuck on a level and do not know what to do and that sucks being stuck for hours so this way I enjoy game more. Menus are easy to navigate but this site has a lot of ads and if your modem is dial up I do not recommend this site to you because it will be very slow to load pages for you even on cable modem is not very fast.
