What did I wake up to see?

This morning I woke up, grabbed my camera and it did not move.
I was able to take this photo of what I saw...


It was Lexi, but where was it's ear and eyes?
As you can see by the other photo, there was something really wrong with what I was looking at. Hallowe'en is still a week away. So, I mustered up a dry whistle and she turned and looked at me.
Lexi had been resting her forehead on the side of the drawing table looking into my trashcan where her ball usually ends up when it falls off the bed. Whew! Scary to wake up to!

This is Lexi after a bath.

oTailo, a Bilingual Dog...

Okay, I am visiting a dear Mexican Friend of mine who speaks Spanish most the time. Her Daughter speaks English most the time (and also Spanish) which is typical in many Hispanic homes today in San Antonio, Texas.
The Mom tells this dog, "Vete al otro cuarto" and the dog gets up and goes to the other room. I can't believe what I see. I ask her to tell him to come back in and she says, "Ven" and this dog gets up and comes back into the room. I ask her if the dog understands English and he follows my commands, "Go to the other room" and "Come here."
I said, "This dog is bilingual!" His owner, the Daughter, arrives home from work and reassures me that he is tri-lingual because if he is unhappy about something, he speaks "Yellow Dog."...He says, "Wow, wow, wow, Ruff!"

Back to Work tonight after this....


Wow! What have I been doing since July? I've been living "daytime" and on vacation.

Boy did we have a fun time.
My Kid, my Niece and I met my Second Cousin in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico. It was great. The total cost for the room was $100 dollars a night which my Cousin picked up. All food and drinks were included in the three meals provided each day! All you wanted to eat or drink...and the first week of October the beach was empty. Wow! What fun!!!

However.
Tonight is my first day back to work since the middle of September. I am with My Lady who has found her navel(?). It is almost midnight and I have nothing to tell her about that but to leave it alone.

You did see the video above, right? Click on it and relish the experience....and after eating the best Mexican food in Puerto Vallarta a couple of days ago, I went to Taco Bell this afternoon. There was no waiter singing along with the piped in Placido Domingo singing in Spanish. There was no waiter making guacamole in front of us. No "Enjoy Senoritas Bonitas" being said by a waiter. No flaming fajita meat, chicken and shrimp dish being served in front of us...
Today, I went cold turkey at Taco Bell. I put 3 packages of hot sauce in the bean and cheese dip...yuk! Just wait till next year. I'll save my money to go back!!! Wanna go?
