Any CrazieTalkers want to be CrazieWalkers?

[windsor]

No walk tonight - the thunderstorms rolled in late and it is still pouring!

I didn't either. Didn't leave the office until 7pm. Tomorrow is even worse, I'll leave around 7pm, but will be getting in at 6:45 am. So, will have two long days in a row. I feel like Sue.

I don't usually head out to walk until 8:30-9:00 (Florida summer heat - it needs to cool off some) but I'm walking relatively safe streets with a big dog - you need a dog....or a much large cat (how do you feel about cheetah?)

My personal work record is 40 hours. Not in a week. Straight. The life of a software developer - and now you know why I shifted to project management

No worries - long weekend is coming with lots of walking time for the Crazie Walkers.

Gosh, what a great setup I am for you! If you need a receptionist, I have great biceps and I think my humor will keep them coming back

Amongst others, but ..... if not anything, I hope I don't scare them with the singing and the visual of you singing their way to health (both new and old patients)....

Veering back ON topic ( ) Just came back from my walk....two miles in just over 40 minutes with the Terv . I'm loving his new backpack...but he's not drinking at the halfway point (it is still hot at 8:30 at night!) will have to doctor up some water to tempt him next time. I have one tired Terv. I tired Terv is a happy Terv!

It takes Wizard a block or so to realize we are walking not going for a walk (??) going for a walk = doing his business, walking means get your Tervie Tail in heel positon and stay there....no sniff, no watering flora or fauna...he's funny when he get the 'oh, we're walking his head comes up, ears come up and he gets this 'I'm walkin' with Mommy prance in his step' Silly Terv.

Your dog waters the fauna? That's a little crazy. I might pay money to see that. You should tape it for AFV. ;)

When we got the lab puppy Wizard 'watered' him does that count? Fauna applies to all sizes of animal so yes, while watering the flora I'm sure he's also watering fauna!

I had this image in my mind of some poor squirrel out busy burying his acorns for winter, then looking up and saying, "gee, I didn't know it was gonna rain today." By the way, I love the name Wizard. When he does his business, do you call him "Wiz"? ;)

I call him Wiz all the time - fortunately that isn't the cue to do his business ("hurry up" ) First rule of dog names is that they will be shortened to one syllable. (Dylan Wizard Jester are Dyl Wiz and Jes). Wiz is his 'working name' for agility and most training. He knows we're working when I use that. Calling him "Wizard" is akin to your parent using your first and last name when you were a kid( ) the rest of the time he is Wizzie, Wizbang, Wizman, Terv, Tervie, TervieWervie, baby and beautiful. Yes, he answers to them all (and the other dogs don't) and yes the other two have a similar list of unique names.

His name is Wizard because as a puppy his ears were huge and met at the top like a Wizard's hat....his official name is Bilgays Just a Kind of Magic

How about "the wizinator"? ;)

[windsor]

How about "the wizinator"? ;)

oooo....good one...I'll have to try that out on him when I get home

That one makes me think of the old SNL skit about making copies, at the copier, the wizinator.

I was thinking of the apparatus for beating drug tests that the football player got caught with a few years ago. ;)

I do this too. I regularly address Walter as Walter, Walt, buddy, little/wittle man (he's not little), buddy, dude, sweet boy, shithead, and probably a few others. If he's in trouble, I call him by his full name, just like Mom used to do...Walter Grace Ralegh.

Walter Grace Ralegh.

Ralegh?

Not Raleigh? Wouldn't you like to buy a vowel? An I, perhaps?

Wrong, wrong, wrong. Very wrong.
Walter himself, his father (also Walter), and all family members before them spelled it Ralegh. For reasons unknown, Sir Walter's widow changed it to "Raleigh". Of course, she also carried around his embalmed head for 29 years following his beheading.
Both spellings have been accepted over the years (as with your misspelled state capital), but the true spelling is "Ralegh".
Consider yourselves chastened, you upstart rapscallions.

Gee. Sir Walter couldn't even spell his own name correctly.

And to make it come full circle, look at how Rolla, Missouri got its name:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rolla,_Missouri
It's either named after a hunting dog, or it's from North Carolinian settlers who chose to spell Raleigh phonetically.

I've been thinking about this, and if Sir Walter's name were spelled "Ralegh," wouldn't we pronounce it "Roliff?"

Sounds like a few people need to walk off Brunchgate from yesterday.
