Jan. 2, 2008 - On Sheepdogs-

The Old English ones.....

I have always wanted an Old English Sheepdog.
Ok, maybe not "always", but for a really long time.
And I will probably never get one.
There's none to be had in our area.
The closest I can find is about 14 hours from us.
Then there's the price.
EGADS! Anywhere from $800-$1000 DOLLARS!
And for only about $250 more, I can have one delivered here to the boondocks.
So it most likely ain't happening....
(Sorry- but my grammar gets real bad when I'm despondent.)
I didn't want to bore anyone with that information so I never posted about it.

But there's been that niggly feeling that my 11-yr old may have been misunderstood in a previous post when she said; "You look like a sheepdog because of your hair."

Saying your mother looks like this:
might be misconstrued as rude or insulting.

But just look at that fluffy heap!!
Is that not the cutest dog on earth?
And I even love to have my head scratched like that!
But what does that have to do with how I look?
Well, if you take a *coughcough40somethingwoman* and add in a lot of hair and understand that she started going gray in high school then you get this:

The lighting's bad. My hair is white. Not blonde or anything akin to golden. White. With some dark flecks. Which means;
"You look like a sheepdog because of your hair."
Is the absolute truth.

You reminded me that one of my dreams (when I was a teen) was to own a sheepdog. Captain Kangaroo had one (BeeBee) and I thought she was Beautiful...
Fun post!

And isn't her hair just gorgeous! I think she deserves a sheepdog as a prize. Yup, it's decided. So someone with an Old English sheepdog: Send her one! *laughs*

I wonder, though... Do they read Shakespeare? Or bark with an accent? Are they KJV-only? Just curious.

And just so the world knows, the above post SHOULD have been signed at the end with something like this:

'Cause though I like changing things around, that's one of the things I like keeping. For now, anyway.

BUT... the DORK who did it FORGOT. So.

I'm a genius.

Yeesh.

Okay, your comments to yourself are cracking me up! "Dork" is SO our generation! (Then I heard my daughter call her brother one, and I had to correct her! No name calling!) Of course, it's only proper to call *ourselves* names, right? Ü
Thanks for your consistently funny and endearing comments on my blog! And thanks for the "heads-up" on the B & N sock monkey stuff...I'll have to check it out! Blessings to you and your family in 2008!

LOL, if your kids start taking you out to catch a frisbee, you're going to have a problem on your hands!

Ha, yes, I own a Spanish Bible. And a French one. And a Hebrew one. But I can't read the Hebrew one. I'm working on that. :D

I bet it is beautiful! Mine is in the half and half stage, where the top looks like Cruella de Ville and the bottom layers are still brunette. I wish it would hurry up and just get all gray!!

I see you've taken a page out of Arby's guide to home photography! Can you sit on the floor and scratch behind your ears with your feet?

I don't think you look like a sheepdog at all!! Hey, my hair's almost as white as yours! What's up with such young women getting so much gray hair?? <grin>
