cody bear….
yes, that’s him,
would like to announce some blogs! http://www.muttsandsuch.com/ she takes great photos, has giveaways and the whole blog is dogcentric!
as always, the bear recommends visiting the blog of dennis the vizsla! lots of action over there! http://dennisthevizsla.wordpress.com/ however, if you are a member of the american society of hedgehog lovers….i would stay away. hedgehogs are not painted in a very glowing light over there. be warned.
now, if you’re one of our photography friends, please visit my dog photography biz partner’s great photo blog at http://marthalochert.wordpress.com/ there you will find anything from flowers to foklorico dancers!
i think this one is good, but i’ll warn you, it’s twisted and there are swear words. (goodbear loves swear words!) http://citypictures.wordpress.com/ a very creative guy but if you’re conservative (gramma that’s YOU) don’t click on this link.
well that’s all for now. later today we’ll hit you with some more pix of dogs and plants and shit. i mean . . . .stuff. dogs and plants and stuff.
enjoy your blog journey today!

dennis tagged me on the bedroom meme. it should be a simple meme: post three interesting scenes from your bedroom. (sounds naughty, no matter what)
as i’ve mentioned….i sleep well. seriously. in the past i was always been a bad sleeper, but one thing i have conquered is the sleep situation. NO ONE sleeps better than me.
and ever since dennis tagged me, it has been obvious to me that the lack of interesting things in my bedroom is what makes me sleep so soundly. so it was work coming up with these meme photos. so here gos.
now…dogs are obvious. as are dog toys, so this shot doesn’t count:
however they are comforting and do contribute to my successful sleeping.
but moving on to the actual meme.
1.
a broken alarm clock. it goes off at 6:26. i cannot change the time. it either goes off at 6:26 or not at all. can’t move it forward…can’t move it back. should i get a new one? yes. but first i need a new electric toothbrush to replace THAT broken electronic device.
moving on…
2. the loki memory panel
click here for info on it, but basically it was a tribute made by a friend in memory of the dog of my heart, loki. it hangs in the west facing window of my bedroom.
and 3. by the back door….
…dehydrated beef livers and a mag light…naturally.
you see, in the back yard the dogs have a variety of chase distractions: cats, rabbits, squirrels, lizards, cars, birds, lunatics, beetles, basketball players. the dogs come when they’re called, and i reinforce this frequently with treats. also, right by the back door is a large mag light. we go outside late at night sometimes. i need to find and/or beat the beetles/lunatics that may be hanging out.
funny thing about this meme, it came right in the middle of the re-feng shui-ing of my bedroom. in summary, it is a place of rest and solace. and all the mag lights and beef livers in the world won’t interrupt my sleep.
yawn.

hi blog readers and blog friends.
i have a stupid idea. is anyone interested in a book group of sorts? you see, so many readers of my blog are clever and well read. you guys leave witty comments and your blogs are so creative. and i just thought i would toss the idea out there.
we pick a book, then a variety of things could happen: perhaps we set a day to finish the book by, and on that day we each post our thoughts on the book. orrrr, each book one person leads off with a discussion opener on their blog and people join in the comments.
part of me thinks, “how about a group that discusses fiction involving dogs?” but i don’t know if there are enough good ones out there that would interest people.
thoughts?
anyone?
stupid idea?
opportunity to showcase your big brain?
here pickles settles down with a good stick….
