Once Upon a Time I Learned about Alcohol and Dogs

An old g-chat with a person.

Person: This puppy [...]

Me: I love him! Also, that reminds me of an old screen saver I used to have that I want to get back! Here's a youtube version: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vNa9P4aoHg8

 

P: that makes me want to clean my screen

 

Me: but the pug can do it for you!

 

P: no he's making it all gross and slobbery

 

Me: that's because he's not done yet...when you first spray windex it leaves a mess...but you keep at it and eventually it is gone and window is clean!

 

P: maybe if the dog salivated isopropyl

 

Me: maybe they already do; a dog's mouth is the cleanest; except it's called "dogsopropyl" and is very safe for animals; Also isopropyl is some fancy cleaning agent in windex, right?

 

P: no just a type of alcohol you use to clean stuff

 

Me: then we definitely shouldn't be giving that to dogs

 

P: right; it'd make them blind then dead

 

Me: although drunk Macy could be entertaining...as for drunk Lucy, I will not clean up her vomit.

 

Me: I guess dogs don't have a very high tolerance for alcohol.

 

Me: except for huntin' dogs that drink beer from mason jars...but they were probably started young. So the trick to stop your dog from going blind then dead is to start giving them alcohol at an early age.

I can only assume I never received a response from Person because I'm right.

 

Once Upon a Time I moved to Colorado

...from Hawai'i. In December. I hate the cold. This should be fun.

Remember the old Hawai'i blog back when I moved there and it was fun and I did cool stuff like skydive and backpack a treacherous coastline and fly a plane? (Probably don't know about the last two because I never wrote about them...but they happened)...well, that is a blog of the past. Just like Hawai'i is now in the past. I've been to Colorado in the summer and enjoyed it and am determined to find things to do/try in the winter. I even have approx 2 friends now. My friend (not CO friend but childhood friend who moved to HI with me) and I joked about having a "BYOF" (Bring Your Own Friend) party back when we found ourselves in a similar predicament but we never followed through (typical). I might revisit that idea and require my friends to bring a new friend for me. Double my number of friends? Yes, please. But I'll have to cap it at 4 friends total, because my car only seats 5 including me.

I obviously don't have anything interesting right now. But my newest friend and I are planning to try hiking in 50 degree weather this weekend. If we don't just end up hiking to the nearest Starbucks/trashcan fire then I'll tell you about it.

For now, some videos:

...but wait there's more!

...no worries there's still more!

...and still one more!

...it's over!
