Is this Weird?
My soil's pH is confused. It doesn't know which color of Hydrangea it prefers.
Me either.
Craigslist
I don’t know why I do it because mentally I'm insulted and emotionally I’m suffering. But, I’m weak and do it again and again. I look watch the Craigslist Pets section. I get angry and sad and other things. But one thing jumped out at me the other day—a trend that is puzzling.
One good thing about the pet listing is that you can post your lost pet and some are even found and returned. I was reading one of those ads when the light bulb came on. All over Southwest Missouri, Boxers (dogs) are jumping their fences. That in itself is not unusual, but lately with sooo many boxers escaping, I’m wondering….
Where have all the Boxers gone? (Imagine this question to the tune of Where have all the flowers gone? playing in the background. Just do it!)
The photos of the missing dogs look like happy well cared for dogs, so, why are they leaving? Are they Tweeting each other? Are they a part of a Flash Mob? Will they be dancing somewhere in unison? Are they meeting to protest? Are they planning a takeover of CL?
My beloved Boxer, Suki Aki (1990-2000), jumped the fence once and plowed through it once. But, the last time she did it, Suki immediately ran to the front door and knock on it (don’t ask me with what, but my mother-in-law heard her). She and my daughter let her back in.
Suki really didn’t want to leave home for good, now did she? Of course, she didn’t have a cell phone or a Twitter account or “things” might have been different.
Confused Hydrangea bushes and runnaway Boxers. It's weird. As my sister use to say, "Some things can be explained and some things can't."

As for the Hydrangea bushes. My mother-in-law has a bush by a side door. It's a fairly large bush with beautiful blue blooms, except for one beautiful purple bloom. I'm like you - go figure.

Tossing It Out
Joanne, They do emit a peaceful easy feeling.
Betty, This is my first.
Alex, I think so.
Terri, She was a smart cookie.
Lee, I really expected this...from you. :)))
Poor boxers - And now I've got a very weird image of a bazillion boxers doing a Who Let the Dogs Out flashmob in a mall...
And the dog thing? My sheltie occasionally decides he needs to take a walk when I let him out in the middle of the night. He heads down the peninsula, does his rounds and ends up checking to make sure the neighbor's cocker didn't accidentally get left out back all night (never happened yet, but he needs to be sure) then he comes on home and apologizes. Mind you, I can be calling him and calling him the whole time. And 59 days out of 60, he goes out and does his business and comes right back. Go figure. (And yes, he hates pooping on the leash, which is why he prefers to use the yard in private. Not sure I blame him. :D)

I love boxers. We don't have any pets, but boxers are just so playful and loveable. Maybe some day, like when my boys can help with it.
The hydrangeas...no clue, but they look pretty!
