From Christine: -
If you give
your dog dry food, you’re only giving your dog waste.
If you feed canned food, he may lose his teeth because he doesn't chew.
When he gets food from the table, you make him sick.
If you have a job, your dogs are too often alone.
If you don't have a job, you shouldn't get a dog because you can't guarantee medical care in an emergency.
If you are retired, your dog could end up in a rescue, because you are just too old.
If you're still young, you have too little experience and you shouldn't have a dog.
If you regularly vaccinate your dog, you shoot bad chemicals into your dog.
If you never or almost never vaccinate, then you're irresponsible because there are so many bad diseases.
If you keep a single dog, it won't have enough contact with other dogs.
If you have more dogs you’re a hoarder or a puppy mill.
If you have neutered your male, you are a monster because you have done an unnecessary surgery.
If you don't neuter, you're putting your dog in too much stress.
When you let your bitch have puppies, you're a greedy breeder.
If you never let her have puppies, you'll ruin her psyche.
If you let your dog run outside with other dogs, it will be too wild.
If you don't let him run with other dogs, you're a beast and your poor dog can never be properly socialized.
If your dog wears a muzzle in public, he’s aggressive and you didn't raise him well.
If you don't let your dog wear a muzzle but needs to, then you don't care if your dog bites another dog or a person and the dog will have to be euthanized.
If you buy your dog from a breeder, you only want to show off with his pedigree or family tree.
If you buy your dog without papers, you will support backyard breeders.
If you get your dog out of a foreign rescue, you are the not supporting our own rescue groups. If you get your dog out of a domestic rescue, you are allowing foreign dogs to be euthanized.
If you talk a lot about your dog, you're a crazy dog person.
If you don't talk about him, you don't love him.
If you let your dog out in your fenced yard, then he's probably always outside and can't go in.
If you rarely let him out in your yard, then you are cruel.
It doesn't really matter what you do... others always have something to talk about.
Just live the way it makes you and your dog happy and don't worry about what other people have to say.

These four amazing Icelandic Sheepdog puppies were born in November 2019 and are now four weeks old. One or maybe two have new homes already. These Icy pups are special. If you're interested, email me and I'll connect you with the breeder.

Birthday and Christmas 2019
The sun had already risen and was hiding behind the black cloud hanging over Lake Huron and shining down on it. I loved the butterscotch like color. Sunrises are an important start to my day. The dogs get me up about 5:30 and go outside to scare away rabbits and deer. I turn on the TV to get the weather and marvel at the traffic reports. The sun rises soon after my first or second cup of tea. Kathy came Saturday and brought dinner. I always have a great time with her. Wished she lived a little closer; she and Andy live on the other side of Detroit near Ypsilanti which means she has to drive through Detroit and the expresway there is not in the best shape plus it's a long drive. Clicking on photos will enlarge them.
I thought Cedar Waxwings migrated but this group was perched together near the top of one of my aspens.
Every year I threaten not to feed my outdoor birds but the first cold temperatures, wind, and snow always make me change my mind. I have many different representatives of the woodpecker clan visit my suet feeders and sunflower feeders and I do love watching them all.
Because the weather was mild, we decided to take a walk along the shore of Lake Huron. We found many Petoskey stones (https://www.michigan.org/article/trip-idea/where-find-petoskey-stones-michigan). More than we have ever found in the summer. Maybe other beach front scavengers pick up more Petoskeys when the weather is nicer.
It seems like there is an abundance of woolly bear catepillars this year.

They are everywhere. This one seemed to be muching on the lichens growing on this rock - maybe?

Royal Oak Farmers' Market - Sunday, December 15, 2019
Up early this morning and off to the Sunday flea market in Royal Oak. The smell is the same and so are most of the vendors. In order to get really good deals one has to go every week and keep one's eyes peeled. It was nice to be there but nothing interested me. It was nice to see all the folk and to see the new construction.
Kit's classes are finished for the year. I'll miss going and I'm very sure she will too. Classes don't start again until the second week in January. Normally the roads here are kept very clear of snow and ice all winter so I suspect we'll sign up again.

Sunrises are still amazing.
And the ships are still running.
