Dogs...

Since Lily is feeling better, we decided to take our chances with the weather and the dog park on Saturday. Diane met us over there with her dog, Jack. We don't really know what Jack is, but we liked that he and Lily had some play time. After 2 hours, Lily really comes out of her shell!

Best parts of the excursion:
We made a new friend named Brutus. He was a fat, little Basset hound who somehow waddled & jumped up to our rock bench. He wormed his way under Brian's arm to get some pats. I later noticed black dog hair all over our white shirts!

While we were sitting happily with Brutus, a brindle-colored bulldog somehow got to my lap. I gave her some loves as well. Lily was ousted from the rock bench since these two dogs maneuvered themselves up there. How those little, stubby legs managed that, I'll never know.

We must have been dubbed the favorite humans in the park that afternoon!

Bad Streak...

My movie-picking skills are on the fritz. I've been relying on outside opinions & movie trailers to pick our latest rentals. I am now 1 for 4, only 25%. I have come to the conclusion that trailer makers must have a special skill to entice people to see crappy movies. Most of the time, all the good scenes, funny or beautiful, are in the trailer. Bah! Good thing we own a lot of favorites to fall back on. Pixar is a constant buffer.

LOVE IT!!!

I don't know how many of you out there are "Bones" watchers. But if you aren't, you are missing out. Brian and I love this show! We have watched it religiously since the beginning. It is not like all the other crime shows (CSI, Law & Order, etc.). There is actual character development, and last night's 100th episode was great!

B-ball...

Yes, my bracket is dead. And to win again this year, I need Duke to lose on Saturday. Will it happen? Who knows? This has been the weirdest year for men's hoops in a long time. Three #1 seeds are gone, Kansas being the first to go up in smoke against...Northern Iowa? Yeah. It's been that kind of year. So...in the end, I don't really care who wins it all. I'm kind of rooting for the little guy, Butler, for fun.

In other news, the Jazz are still in the hunt while the Lakers have lost 3 road games. Yay! I hope they make a good run this year in the playoffs. They are 3rd in the West right now and at the top of the power rankings list all year. This could be a great year to bring it home, finally!
