This is Cricket, my friend Audrey’s dog.  What is she so mesmerized by?

IMG_1375Yes, it might be my carrot cake birthday cake–

Version 2 but, I think it was probably the candle !!!!

This candle was furnished by the bakery that made the cake.  My friend who brought it to me said it came with a warning not to lean over the cake while she lit it!  (This is what happens when you celebrate your birthday on the Fourth of July!!)  Thanks, Audrey.  It was the only fireworks i saw this Independence Day.  In Mexico, where fireworks are set off every day of the year for one purpose or another: fiestas, weddings, birthdays, anniversaries, national holidays, Saints Days, elections, christenings, first communions, confirmations, church holidays, Day of the Dead–not one was set off for the Fourth of July!!!  (Well, except in my dining room.)

A Testimonial from Morrie (Pictured) the newest in the pack around here:  “Wouldn’t you believe a face like this? I have this to say about Judy’s music mix.  There’s not a dog in the bunch! Go ahead–give them a listen!!! Her taste in music is as good as her taste in dogs. “

First of all, I want to thank Morrie for his endorsement of my musical taste.  When he first came to live here, just a few short weeks ago, his musical taste was no more refined than a fondness for”How Much is That Doggie in the Window” and an ability to sing along on the chorus with “The Singing Dogs.” But he seems to be a clever little dog.  He learned to sit and stay very quickly.  Also how to break into my bedroom through the bars on the grill work at the door.  But it never occurred to me that he was absorbing the culture of the house as well.  So thanks, Morrie, for your vote of confidence.

Now, on to the matter at hand. When I published my list of songs for my mixed tape yesterday, I didn’t have the links attached.  I now have links for all but one, so if you’d like an easy way to listen to a lot of good music, please go back to yesterday’s post  HERE.

While you are waiting, or if you aren’t interested in backtracking EVEN FOR THE REWARD OF SOME REALLY GOOD MUSIC, here’s a song I love (with link)  that didn’t exactly suit my biography. The dog mentioned at the beginning is Morrie, though!!!

Silent All These Years Tori Amos

Frida is queen of the castle. High up on the dome, she is the “One.” But what could she be looking at?

IMG_0109

This is definitely a possibility, but no, I snapped this picture in the U.S., of a dove perching solo on the neighbor’s chimney.

Who is Frida surveying from her “oneness” atop the dome? It’s Morrie, the interloper, who has learned to climb the stairs but not how to negotiate the slippery incline to the dome’s top.

IMG_0606

So he had to make do with negotiating the flat border around the dome, where he contemplated jumping down to the teja awning over my bedroom door before I finally saw him and urged him over to the other side, where the stairs down to mother earth were. So Frida remains solo in her domain, as she has always liked it to be.

Other “Ones”

What chance has any dog of finding this fire hydrant in the tall grass of such an isolated spot?

“But I just had one beer, officer!”

Waiting for Mom

These pictures of all three fellows were taken yesterday. Good timing, Cee!  The pugs were the guardians of a nursery we went to. Yesterday’s post showed some of our “finds.”  The third little dog was our friend Jackie’s little guy, at the window, watching his Mom walk away down the front walk.
