COFFEE WITH A CANINE

COFFEE WITH A CANINE

In February Arkansas Patti of
The New Sixty and her wonder dog, Mighty, were interviewed for an appearance on Coffee with a Canine. Arkansas Patti mentioned my current canine prima donna, Luckie, to Coffee with a Canine author, Marshal Zeringue who requested an interview with Luckie and me.

Sensing an opportunity for a largess of canine treats, Foodaholic Luckie instantly agreed we should accept the invitation. Photographing Luckie is a "catch me if you can" project. However, I have an archive of Luckie photos from which to choose.

Thanks to Arkansas Patti for the "recommend" and Mighty's interview is here. Thanks for the fun blog and interview are in order for Marshal, who takes the information and assembles it in a coherent tribute to canines and their owners.

Luckie's interview is posted
here. She is really vain and hope she gets a lot of "hits" for Coffee with A Canine. She wants to set a record. HA! She thinks she is the only dog on the block. I sincerely hope you pay a visit to the blog.


As a long-time dog lover and owner, I love to read other dog lovers' experiences. This fun blog regularly posts heartwarming, cozy intimate stories of dogs and their owners. The blog made my blog list immediately after the first story I read. I hope it makes yours, too!

Digital Deliberations - One benefits Luckie's shelter home

Last Friday my best friend (BF) called me to visit her and wipe a desktop hard drive clean in exchange for a fried fish dinner. My husband was included in the invite, but not Luckie.

My BFs have multiple cats and presently only one dog. Over the nearly thirty years I've known them, they have only had one pure breed dog. However, I've lost count of the dogs and cats they've adopted, mostly strays, but some shelter animals, too.

The old computer was going to a local computer club which refurbishes them and gives them to the Humane Society or Salvation Army, whichever the donor chooses. Since BF selected the Humane Society, I was overjoyed to help the cause. It seems the economic downturn has spike sales of used computers, especially at these two charitable organizations.

I plan to add a box full of parts I've collected and no longer need in building or repairing (0ccasionally). I figured my helping prepare her unit for resale in the Humane Society's shop, in some small way may return the joy Luckie has brought into our lives.

The last few days a Silver Sneakers exercise friend tried to exorcise her desktop which she maintained was possessed by a demon. After several phone calls with e-mails with suggestions, and little improvement, I read the signs of having the Conficter worm which has been tormenting the computer world. I sent her a site to read about it and went fishing...hmm...better relabel that a windy boat ride on area lake.

Two phone messages were waiting for me, when I returned home: Send her the patches because she could not download them, nor access Microsoft website, two signs of the dastardly worm. I have not heard the end of this saga as of tonight. Stay tuned for the rest of the story.
