Babble and Gird

Ozzy had his one-month health check yesterday, and passed with flying colors.  Dr Barry was very pleased, and now Oz can slowly be weaned off the wet canned crap food and get back to the dry, thank all that is holy.  I mixed his lunch half and half (wet/dry) and he was a very happy dog to get something besides the slimy wet food for a change, even though both varieties are the gastrointestinal diet stuff.  Hopefully, he will continue to stay healthy now that we have finally diagnosed his problems.

The weather yesterday was amazing.  It felt like the finest Spring day.  We walked Oz in the park, wearing just lightweight shirts and could even feel the heat in the sun.  I'm not sure how warm it actually got, but it was very nice.  Ozzy ran with wild abandon, either from a dose of Spring Fever, or the thrill of surviving his vet appointment.  I should have taken my camera, though of course, I never have it with me when I should.  The curse of an amateur photographer.

I found some more goofy signs.  You gotta love stuff like this, really.  If it doesn't make you laugh, it will make you shake your head at the absurdity of things.

Apparently the seagull can't read...

Alrighty then...guess camping's out of the question at this campground...

Seriously.  Don't you have to wonder..??  This makes absolutely no sense at all, and yet they still put this sign up.

I love this one.  Didn't know my whole state was closed for the season.  Wonder when it will reopen..??

OMG.  This is truly the scariest cat I have ever seen.  I would run from this creature...very quickly.  It doesn't even look like something from this world; more like the underworld.  Really creepy how it's claws are holding its rat-like tail...eeewww (*shivers*)...

So.  Let's recover from the nightmare cat by enjoying this adorable wee kitten having a nap, unaware there are demon felines abroad in the land...

Two days now until the reindeer land on the roof, so I'll finish up with this Christmas photo.  Hope all your presents are wrapped and you're ready to **gird your loins for the family event of the year...

** FYI:  According to Wikipedia:  The term "gird one's loins" was used in the Roman Era meaning to pull up and tie one's lower garments between one's legs to increase one's mobility in battle. In the modern age, it has become an idiom meaning to prepare oneself for the worst.

I think both definitions pretty much cover a typical family Christmas, don't you..??
