Stock up on your canned goods now.


Raindog is at it again. Seems he goes through a little emotional shift each year around his birthday. He started running one year. He gave it up the next. Done. Just like that. One day his when his human running partner, Gary, got his gym clothes out and headed into the bathroom to change, Riley went to his bed and pretended to be asleep. As soon as Gary had left the building, Riley was up and making his rounds...doing what any dog in a building full of "suckers" would do at lunch time.

Now, Riley has begun acting strange again, and people are noticing (which is a good thing, since sometimes these things are just in my head). He has nothing physically wrong with him. His appetite and other bodily functions appear normal. But he's off. Not AS excited at treat time. Hiding under my desk at work instead of laying on his bed, where he's always been more than comfortable. Laying by the door in the dining room instead of hanging with us in the evenings.

So is it just another birthday "mood swing", or is this "big one" about to hit. There have been a few small earthquakes near Nevada. Hmmmm.....
