Treacherous but beautiful morning here in happy valley. Snow, rain, mixed together for ice storms over the weekend.

• Did you ever walk into a room and forget why you walked in? I think that's how dogs spend their lives - Sue Murphy
• "The greatest pleasure of a dog is that you may make a fool of yourself with him, and not only will he not scold you, but he will make a fool of himself, too." -Samuel Butler
• Women and cats will do as they please, and men and dogs should relax and get used to the idea. --Robert A. Heinlein
• Dogs are better than children. Even my friends with children say that. As a dog friend of mine likes to say, children are for people who can't have dogs.
• I wonder what goes through his mind when he sees us peeing in his water bowl."- Penny Ward Moser
