Where did I go?

Well its summer and I keep getting lost. I can't help it, there are shrubs to trim and 11 yards of mulch to spread and that's just for the front. Yesterday, we did nothing and everything at once. But ended the day, well it was more like 10:30 pm last night with a swim, the dogs, Alex, David and I. Today we are volunteering at the local church festival manning the Labrador Rescue booth this afternoon and someone placed it I understand right next to the sausage stand, we will have to see how that goes. Still have not decided which dog will go, its looking like Zeus and Hoagie get to take the road trip.

Politics and Fido

...a Latin name meaning "I am faithful." As such it is a terrific name for the average protective and loyal family dog. However, it gets its popularity from a celebrity tie-in. Apparently, Abraham Lincoln, a largely self-educated but very erudite man, named his dog Fido. Americans followed suit in droves, putting the dog name Fido firmly in the top 20 names. Lincoln’s choice of Fido for his dog’s name was perfectly logical. Fido is the Latin for faithful, which when dealing with any pet dog is entirely appropriate
