No, the Otter Pup didn’t get a Facebook or Twitter page, but she did go to the dog park which has been an unknown for us “cat” people. We’ve had her since February so it sure took us long enough to try it, but I was worried. Worried about the other dogs and not sure how she’d react to them. There were about 7 dogs there and she did great. She snapped at two of them, but never made contact. Actually, she NEVER makes contact. They are warning snaps that you can hear from across the park. Snap! Snap! Sassy pup.

In this photo, she is lounging on the stairs and was gracious enough to allow me to snap this photo. She looks happy, no?

Just a little bit ago we finished up the last of the costume shopping, hit the bookstore with the hopes that some employee slipped up and put out a copy of 1Q84 before its Oct. 25th release date. No such luck. I downed a Pumpkin Spice Frapp to make me feel better. Boy, was it tasty.

Right now, I have chili cooking and we’ll have brats as well, but it’s 85 degrees outside. Would be better if it were a tad chilly but you can’t go wrong with chili, brats and football on a Sunday afternoon. As they watch football, I will be finishing up Ready Player One and then I’m not sure what I’ll read next.

On a sad note, a high school friend passed away a couple of weeks ago. I attended the viewing this past Thursday and although at the time, I thought I could handle it okay, I was a complete mess when I left there. There is something special about the friends you make in  high school. Plus, I visited my old stomping grounds and it brought back so many memories. Sigh. My thoughts are with his family.

Hope you are having a wonderful Sunday and be sure to hug the ones you love. Robert was only 40 years old and died of a heart attack. Unbelievable. Still trying to accept it.
