my dog & me
Tuesday, July 8, 2008 at 6:57 AM who says dogs don't have moods and expressions? i felt a little bad yesterday for curry's birthday when i did not have a current picture to represent him well. i realized he much prefers natural lighting over flash photography and so as we spent the day outside together, i snapped a few shots along the way. not bad for 91, huh? (that's 13 in dog years)

Just catching up, and I'm pleased to see all these photos of the wonderful, and indeed noble, Curry.
Happy belated birthday, Curry.
And yes, I'm a Talent, too.
i am thinking that maybe "lifers" don't take quizzes like this. too busy punching the clock perhaps? :-) and i have no idea what a mandarin is. anybody???
I'm a mandarin, lucy. I thought the questions were a bit out of my field of experience, but the results are dead on for an academic like me.
You're an intellectual and you've worked hard to get where you are now. You're a strong believer in education, and you think many of the world's problems could be solved if people were more informed and rational. You have no tolerance for sloppy or lazy thinking. It frustrates you when people who are ignorant or dishonest rise to positions of power. You believe that people can make a difference in the world, and you're determined to try.

Happy birthday, Curry, by the way.
barbara--thank you so much for filling me in on the virtues of a mandarin. from what i know of you, it sounds perfect. what would we do without "mandarins" to inspire us to make a difference in the world?
Barbara, this seems to me to be another connection with fingernails. Chinese mandarins used to grow theirs long as a sign of not needing to do manual work, I understand.
Aha! It would seem I am finally fulfilling my destiny. Mind you, I couldn't grow my nails when I was actually teaching and correcting sloppy and lazy thinking or dealing with ignorant folk who rose to positions of power as faculty union president. Too many deadlines and stress factors, I guess.
curry is so cute. what a sweet face. animals definitely can show their moods on their faces. :-) happy birthday to curry!!
thanks tess and barbara for that little side conversation :-)
leah--curry thanks you very much for the birthday wishes!
The Curry photos are wonderful. We must love every minute of him and not grieve before it's time:).....easier said than done - he really is getting to be an old doggie!
Test, test, test - I'll send you the results:)
xoxox
SS--yep...i'm sticking pretty close to him these days. he is still such a sweetheart and i hope to have as good an attitude when i hit 91!!!
