Homebody

 

I'm slowly adapting to being alone all day now that both my mommas work outside the home. I know it's been quite a few months now, but seeing that I use to go to work with one of my moms for two and a half years, it's been a difficult adjustment.

But I've really gotten to the point of appreciating my alone time. Don't tell them, but sometimes I turn off the NPR they leave on for me and turn on the good old boobtube for some real stimulation. Boy, that Maury Povich is a winner, isn't he?


So I've seen the previews for a new Disney film called "Eight Below" about a family of dogs in Antartica. It's vaguely "inspired by a true story" and more truthfully "inspired by a Japanese movie 'Nankyoku Monogatari'" which is on my moms' "To Watch" list. (Don't tell any one but the previews made Momma B cry!)

This does remind me that I wanted to do more research into the Iditarod, the grueling sleddog race across Alaska that purports to memorialize a famous serum run. There is currently a lot of buzz around how it is actually quite cruel to the dogs. I visited the site for the Sled Dog Action Coalition and was quite convinced. Then, while looking for the site again, I came across a "Pro"-Iditarod site with "expert" testimony. 'Eh. Not as convincing. I'll let you visit them and make up your own minds. Just don't wake me for any races anytime soon. I value my paws.
