Another busy day, and more things for us in the twins column, as I’m not very fond of veal either. When I lived in California, we had Wiener Schnitzel fast food restaurants that mostly served a variety of hot dogs, so naturally I thought Wiener schnitzel had to do with hot dogs. Just before I started 4th grade, we moved to the San Francisco Bay Area and our neighbors across the street had a dachshund named Wiener, which was shore for Wiener Schnitzel. It wasn’t until I was a grown up and already teaches no that I learned Wiener schnitzel had nothing to do with hot dogs! Better late than never, I suppose! 🤓

My favorite Care Bear was the green one. I think it was the good luck bear, but don’t know for sure. I just liked it best because green is my favorite color, right after plaid. Since I was already in college when they came out, I never knew much about them, other than them being cartoon characters and toys you could buy. By the time I was married and had kids of my own, they weren’t popular anymore, so our boys didn’t grow up on them either. Most of what I now know about them is from the info you provided!

Thinking of all my dogs that have passed. None of them are in a pet cemetery, but that’s ok. I have the memories and hope that I’ll see them again some day in heaven. 🐶♥️

I hugged two hounds today...Lizzie and Bixby. Everyday is a hug your hound day around here. If Bixby had legs, he could hug back! 😂

I have mostly stuffed elephants from my childhood, but I do have one precious teddy bear. Doug won him for me years ago at one of the midway games at Circus Circus in Reno. It took him several tries, as he had to use steady hands and skill to move a metal wand with a hole in the middle of it down a rotating spiral metal rod that he had to pass the hole of the wand from the top of the spiral to the bottom without touch the wand to the spiral. I hope that makes sense, since I don’t know how to describe it better. I named that teddy bear Midway, and I have been using him as a body pillow ever since. He’s well worn after about 25 years, but I can’t sleep without him. My mom and dad couldn’t believe I still sleep with a teddy bear, as I had to take it to Canada with me! 🤣

Too bad I didn’t know about Grandparents Day until I was well into my teaching years. By then, both of my grandpas had passed away. I did honor my grandmothers, though, every Mother’s Day until they both passed away in 2010 and 2014, and boy, do I ever miss them. 🙁

Sending you hound hugs that are being passed along to you from Bixby and Lizzie. Sorry that they’re extra hairy, but that’s what you get from corgis! (Lizzie’s are nice and soft minus the hair...except for where she picked up some of Bixby’s) 😁🐶🐶🤗🤗🤗💖🌻🐻🌭
