I’m really sorry I haven’t been on here in a while. I have no excuse! But I need your help and I hope you won’t ignore me the way I’ve been ignoring this blog recently.

I have a dog. Actually, it’s my girlfriend’s dog but it might as well be mine (he likes me more). Anyway, being a responsible dog-person, when I walk him around Westport, I carry those little blue bags to pick up his…..you know. Tyson is a 15 year old Shih Tzu and not a large dog. So his….you knows…..aren’t very big either. It would be easy for me to just pretend I didn’t notice what he was doing and leave them where they lie, but I don’t because I live in that neighborhood and I don’t want to smell dog doo everytime I go outside! Recently, a lady has been walking what I call a small horse of a dog around the same neighborhood and NOT cleaning up after it. I don’t know how to address this with her. What her “dog” leaves behind not only smells, but it’s a tripping hazard! And it’s EVERYWHERE! Any ideas?

Our first snow of the season! 

Some people get excited about snow.  Don’t get me wrong — it’s *beautiful* to look at when it has just fallen and everything’s sparkly-white!  It has a really magical, winter wonderland feel. 

I just don’t enjoy clearing it or having to drive in it.  Does it make me a ‘grinch’ if I’d rather have a green Christmas?  LOL. 

Snow or not, I wish you the happiest and most blessed of holidays!
