Argh. I cannot figure out what to do about this vacation thing. I want to go somewhere warm. And I was looking at various places, but ...I just don't want to go by myself.
(Also pointed out to my boss that I don't have anything scheduled, but I know we have a deadline, and did she think she'd need me both weeks, for stuff to do, because all my stuff I've got handled in February? And she was like "Yeah, don't take a vacation until after the deadline" and I was like "but do you HAVE WORK for me?" and she was all "Oh, um...no")
Tom, you should get a dog.
I feel bad for every one of those dogs except that Pom!
Had a chat over microwaving lunches with the head of the department about Hubby. I shouldn't feel pleased about watching horror and respect appearing in a superior's eyes, but I'm glad he knows what I'm dealing with. No one's quibbled about short notice on me being gone, but it can't hurt to have Reasons Known.
Oh, also -- Kenji Lopez-Alt at Serious Eats is doing Vegan Month again. This bolognese looks amazing: [link]
the dogs running agility look like they are having fun. That Australian Shepherd has a very similar look to Bailey, not coat coloring, but shape and coat length/style.
I'm so pleased they are letting mixed breeds do agility. We did agility training with Walter for a little while, and it was disheartening that he wouldn't be able to compete because of having no papers (for me, he didn't care (not that he was actually that good at it, either, there were bits he just never got the hang of, like the seesaws)). There are apparently waivers that can be had, but it's just a silly requirement.
I love the Papillon doing agility too.
I think that both the canine and equine versions of skijorring should be an Olympic Sport.
