Zippy the Adventure dog was my most beloved dog. He came from a K-Mart Parking Lot being sold by the granddaughter of an old timer who couldn’t take care of him and his three brothers.They were chi-wieners, she said. Their mother had been a street-walker and had gotten hit by a car. The old man raised them from babies and one of them nipped. Their names were Nippy, Zippy and Trippy. I couldn’t take all three of them so I took the one I fell in love with — a runt with scraggly teeth and huge eyes. “So which one is Nippy?” I asked her. She said she didn’t know. I felt that she should have known. Of course, the ugly littlest I wanted was called Zippy. (You know by now he was really Nippy) He was happy to run away the first month we had him. I ran after him all over the place. Finally he figured he was okay where he was. He use lie on my chest like a baby. I loved him so much; he saw me through operations and bad times. Even if he nipped people now and then I loved him. He never really hurt anyone. As he got old he quit biting anyone except people who stuck their hand in the car. He survived 4 cancer surgeries and other illness until he died of a bad heart and old age at 17. That was 4 years ago. I have two new dogs now but I still love Zippy

I really worked to get Obama elected but he sure seems to be a hands-off guy. He has to take charge of the people in charge. People aren't always doing what they are supposed to do. DANG!

I guess I think the dogs are just wonderful. Especially Bambi. He is still a baby in so many ways. He does an arabesque after his business and it is very elegant but funny. He tangles himself in ferns and can't figure out how he got there. He chases moths and wants to eat them but then opens his mouth 'cause they aren't tasty to him and there is the poor nearly dead moth falling off his silly tongue.

I feel very stressed these days. Nobody reads this so I am perfectly safe in saying that. I am also sure not very many people read my work. Maybe nobody reads much any more. I find it harder to get into a TV show than a good book but then I am old. I even like ebooks. I love the Internet. There is always something to read. I am going to ignore being anxious and just go along doing what I can do each day.

I think Obama is doing pretty good. It's only been a month but the talking heads of television are acting like it's a year. What gives with them? And all the dwelling on the Octomom? It's her life. LOTS of people with LOTS of kids are on the public dole. What do people want? Mass sterilization? People wouldn't do that if they thought having kids was the most important thing in their life. I personally think one and possible an adopted child is the perfect family. There's too many people on the planet now.

So how are you doing at going green? Every day I work at it. Also I'm frugal and proud of it. I have been buy "consignment clothes" for years and also other stuff.

I still MISS Zippy. I miss his big eyes and his cuddly nature. He was such a dear just like Max was. I love Faline but she's not the same. She's different, she's got her own agenda and she sticks to it. She is HIS DOG. But like I said I lover her.

I am tired more than I like to be. What's with that?

I think Obama's election has made people more tolerant of color. I sure hope so. I might be black somewhere in my past; if so I good with that. If not that's okay too.

I want to write literary stories and not commercial fiction but I don't think I can.

I hope you saw the news conference today. Obama was calm and thoughtful. He seems to be considering all sorts of possible answers to the financial crises. Much better than a knee-jerk reaction. Have you ever been in a critical situation with another person -- like a witness to a car accident -- you pull over because you're the driver and your friend, the passenger, jumps out and runs across the road to the accident? He nearly gets hit himself and is so excited he can't help? You don't want that kind of person answering that phone call, ya know? Sometimes we are to responsive to act rationally. We all must value a sense of calm, of steadfastness and reasonable behavior. He is a very good role model for all of us. I am not saying stoicism but calm reason is a better answer to problems.

And the one after.

My dogs are so cute; they watched CNN tonight and saw the dogs. Both spoke about it, saying that it's nice to be represented on the news.

Some mothers are good. Some are not so hot.

I guess Paris would say, "Mom's hot!" And she would not mean in bed but cute or popular. That IMHO does not make for a good mom. A good mom loves you just as you are. She may not like what you do or say but she loves you. She gives you hugs and tells you she loves you. She does not push you away or tell you to go away because she is busy. If she IS busy she will tell you to wait a minute and then she'll give you some special time. Mothering is a very special field of work. You can't leave your child in better care than the mother who loves him. If a mother doesn't love a child she should let someone else raise him/her; another mother who would love that child just as if it had come from her own cells and body. Love is stretchy I once told one of the kids -- it fits around people we love. I am sure the heart we all talk about with regards to love is stretchy too. I hope you've got a good mom that loves you; if she has passed away, I hope you still love her and send her a message from your heart. Mom's are special; they love their babies and their kids and their teens. They even love their grown-up kids and THEIR kids and even those kids' little babies. Don't give away your mom if she loves you. She'll be very happy if you just love her back!

Are you ready? Have you registered to vote?

A lot of people complain about the government, but what confuses me is that some of them don't even vote. Why not vote? It's your way to decide how the government is being run. We, the people, actually run the government. We choose leaders who are in agreement with what we believe is important and what needs to be done. We won't be able to fix the failing infrastuctures of roads, schools and health care until we stop spending so much money on wars and other countries. We should try to end proverty in this country. So get up and sign up to VOTE!

Faline is a funny funny dog. She jumps over a weed and forgets to put down her hind legs so there she is walking on her front legs for a time. I keep trying to get a pic of it but she is too interested in the camera.

I have a new flash fiction being published in the Summer Quarter Issue of Mississippi Crow. When it comes out you will be able to get it online as a download or a print at http://www.lulu.com/

I hope you enjoy it. I'm working on back ground information on my new novel set in and around Memphis TN. Other works of mine are at http://www.bewrite.com/ or http://www.fictionwise.com/ or http://www.mobipocket.com/
