New Year’s Resolutions, and a Recipe…

I’m not very good with New Year’s Resolutions (NYRs) or, to be a bit more accurate, I have not been very good to them – I’ve had a hard time being faithful to them. For example, there is (or at least was) the annual NYR, undoubtedly spurred on by the agonies of a desperate Christmas Eve shopping... Sign in to see full entry.

Hi, Everyone…

I haven’t been around Blogitville much this last little while, as some of you may have noticed, have neither written nor read anything. In fact this is the first time in days that I have sat down at my computer at all! For me, it’s always a strange time, these days between Christmas and New Year,... Sign in to see full entry.

Jag, My Doggie, Part XXXVI

Real life often has a nasty habit of insinuating itself into one’s Blogit existence, as happened to me again over the last few days. Consequently I haven’t been around much, have written little and read less, for which I offer my apologies and hope that, in the spirit of the season, I shall be... Sign in to see full entry.

Jag, My Doggie, Part XXXV

I have told you about my doggie’s stubbornness and his lack of patience, but I haven’t yet told you about his sense of humor. I don’t necessarily mean that he laughs much at my jokes – he doesn’t. But then few people do – the far more common reaction is a look of disgust, often accompanied by... Sign in to see full entry.

Jag, My Doggie, Part XXXIV

Did I tell you that Jag can be stubborn? Let me tell you about his lack of patience … Every bloomin’ morning we go through the ‘walk the doggie, feed the doggie’ ritual, without fail. When I’m out of town briefly, my LSW looks after its proper performance; and when I’m out of town for extended... Sign in to see full entry.

Jag, My Doggie…Part XXXIII

Cheerful and friendly as he is, Jag also has a stubborn streak. Several weeks ago I had intended to run a couple of errands of the kind that don’t take much time, and on such occasions I always take him along. He jumped into the back seat and settled himself on his blanket, and just as I was about... Sign in to see full entry.

Jag, My Doggie…Part XXXII

In my previous post I wrote about conducting an ‘experiment’ with Jag. But it wasn’t really an experiment – one cannot carry out an experiment with one’s pets any more than one can with one’s children. One just doesn’t have the necessary objectivity and emotional distance required. Actually, there’s... Sign in to see full entry.

Jag, My Doggie…Part XXXI

At the risk of boring everyone to death (to avoid that risk, you can always go to Tidbits and read about the date of the Second Coming), I’m going to tell you a little more about my doggie. I have mentioned that I don’t know whether Jag has a Theory of Mind (ToM), and I shall not attempt to devise... Sign in to see full entry.

Jag, My Doggie…Part XXX

I hope this doesn’t get too boring. Needless to say, I don’t find it boring, partly because some of these issues I used to deal with professionally, if not in a ‘doggie context’. As promised in the previous post, today I am following up on the question I had posed yesterday: Do dogs have a Theory of... Sign in to see full entry.
