Citizen Dog by Mark O'Hare for September 14, 2013

Not going to share, Mel? I hope ya packed yer long Underwear. Being a Sled Dog, Fergus has a thick winter Coat to help insulate Him from subzero temperature which would instantly paralyze less-adapted Species . . . You don’t.

Maybe Mel could get on The Biggest Loser.

Come on, I can’t believe Mel was ever on Jenny Craig.

Good morning, cleo, sugar, Fellow Baby & the rest of the CD gang!

Good morning people and pets.

He’s just having his start of the race snack.

Left at the starting line.I can relate.

Good Morning Grog, Dry, Cleo & all CDers out there.

Has this Iditarod Arc inspired any Weekend Warriors?Have at-it; i prefer my Dogs on a Bun, and my Snow in a FCB.

Kinda down this morning.Think ill go look at the ocean.

@ Chalkie J and Shikamoo

Good evening Fellow Baby, cleo, sugie and all ye gathered here waiting for the race to start!

I wanted to get to the Farmer’s Market before everything was picked over this am, ended up buying a bunch of corn and such, spent the rest of the day in the kitchen. Now I am done and back here. Hope everyone had a nice day.

Where is Stel?

Nice to see you x_Tech! DON’T BE A STRANGER, MISTER!

Good Evening Citizens of Sled Dogs!

I left a comment for you GROG.

I also left a comment for you DRY.

Never mind. Found it. I always thought September was a little early to be turning the heat on. No chance of that down here.

I was just wondering where STEL was too. I wanted to tell her that I watched Chitty Chitty Bang Bang for the first time today. She would know the significance of that reference.

I think our Indian summer is in November or December if there is such thing down here, Shika.

Well I’ve been slaving over a hot stove for the past few hours. It’s time for me to taste the fruit of my labor.

StelBel ?Are you okay?

Fellow Baby, what was the Great Chef preparing over the hot stove? Any left for me?

I found it too, Shika

I was doing a slightly different take on my seafood gumbo, Fellow Baby. it was also a slightly bigger batch to get me through the week. For the most part, I think I’ll have it for lunch during my week off. One of these nights, I’m going to order out some Asian cuisine. I haven’t had any in a long time. I’m well past due.

Oh and yes I’ve got some left. LOLO!

If you’re ever in Montreal, Fellow Baby, you have to check out the Baguette d’Ivoire on Mackay Street, just south of St. Catherine. It’s the best Asian cuisine vie ever had. It’s been a long time for me, but I see it’s still dishing it out.

In Texas those Indian summer temps you have would be very late fall temps, Shika.

GROG, you sure know your food. How was the gumbo tonight?

We are not telepaths, Shika.

I may pull a Shika, but I have dishes to do and it is 11pm, so I’ll say

Good Night Citizens of Dogs and chubby mushers.

Excellent, Shika.

Good night, Shika. I’m going as soon as my game is over.

Which game, Fellow Baby? I no longer have control of the ZIPPER, and hubby is watching a British mystery, and youngest and I sometimes watch a game on his big screen that he bought from his KFC earnings in High School, but he is fast asleep. God love him, he gets up early for work, works a TOUGH job. He usually konks out early on Fri or Sat night. He’s up early every weekend! LOL! Quite a change from High School days! At least he’s working in the field we spent all those college bucks on! His bro has a good job, too, but not in the field we paid Cornell all those big bucks for.

I was just watching the Irish, Fellow Baby.

I slept very well last night, going to bed by 8:30. I woke up at 5:30 and still had an afternoon nap that lasted 2 hours. Hey, it got me through tonight’s game, but I’m ready to turn out all the lights EXCEPT my bathroom night light.

Good night, Fellow Baby.

Oh, and I just saw Penn State lost to a NOBODY!

Sorry Fellow Baby You know at MOTEL 6 we ALWAYS KEEP THE LIGHT ON! But I will check with management, for you, it will just be your bathroom light! I was never a big Penn State fan, though my Dad took me to a few of the games when I was a kid, because I was such a HUGE fan of ALL football. That was fun, and I WILL ALWAYS REMEMBER THOSE TIMES! And I must admire and respect Bill O’Brien. He TOOK ON a monumental task, and he has garnered much support from the Penn State community. He’s doing a good job, and he has Sue Paterno’s blessing. Not that it matters, but she has a lot of respect in the Penn State community, A LOT! And she is, I must say, a class act!

Goodnight all!

Good night people and pets.
