Rookie

We wanted to let everyone know we might be disappearing for a day or two while Jan's brother takes our computer home to do some more work on it -- install a CD/DVD drive, etc. We don't know when he will come by to pick it up, so if we are quiet for a while, we aren't sitting in a tree.

Speaking of sitting in a tree, have you read this post on Skeezix's Catster page? One comment we read with an article said the Humane Society had emailed that a cherry picker was on its way to rescue the cat and end this madness! We sure hope so.

We can't believe it, but this post has been sitting around ready to go for a few months. It's past time to post it.

We switched counters a couple of months ago on JFF and now we can see what strange search terms folks use to find us. We were laughing over: funny farm mops, quitits (huh?), funny jan things, fridge face, Belgian Sheepdog pitbull mix .... and then we saw it -- canine freestyle Rookie died cancer. Oh, no!

We quickly did our own google search and discovered this to be true. Carolyn Scott's famous freestyle dance partner, Rookie the Golden Retriever, died from cancer July 14th at age 15.

Carolyn, we are sorry. We have enjoyed your choreographed routines, with some special Rookie innovations, and we know he left a large Rookie-size hole in your heart.

We found this montage of highlights from their career.



Carolyn's short, poignant "To Rookie .... because you loved me" can be found here.

We were recently sent a link to a video of a different style of canine dancing, and when we googled the human's name, we found they have a brand new website. Tiny Humphrey and Chandi. Chandi is a world class HTM and Freestyle dog.
