Sierra is feeling at home

Sierra has made herself at home. She was very shy at first, hardly wanting to come out of the crate, but she did ultimately venture out on the second day. By the end of the second day, she was curled up in her new favorite chair in the den, with her head hanging over the side.

Tonight we went back to the Humane Society to pick up some meds for her ear, which is inflamed. They didn't have a record of the prescription (sigh) so they'll get that worked out tomorrow with my vet. But Channel 9 was there for some story, with the mobile van antenna up. Once we got home and the news came on, the story was about yet another kennel where the animals were neglected; but the dogs on the story were barking, and Sierra really perked up. I've never known a dog to really pay attention to TV barking.

Tomorrow I'm painting my guest bedroom, so I was taping the woodwork earlier. Sierra stuck right with me, insisting that she wanted to learn to tape woodwork too. She reminded me that Huskies are Working Dogs (see the AKC classification) but furry paws and a lack of an opposable thumb seemed to befuddle all her attempts, and she gave up.

Overall, she's fitting in to the household pretty well. Cat hasn't quite accepted her, but she's made a couple small attempts at getting familiar with her.

There are many different types of tests on the internet today. Personality tests, purity tests, stereotype tests, political tests. But now, there is one test to rule them all.

Traditionally, online tests would ask certain questions about your musical tastes or clothing for a stereotype, your experiences for a purity test, or deep questions for a personality test.We're turning that upside down - all the questions affect all the results, and we've got some innovative results too!

Since I'm doing videos...

I have to post this one too. Be sure that the sound is on at the beginning

More Snow!

It started snowing last night, but only an inch or 2. The weather guy said it wouldn't snow until afternoon today, but he got that wrong. It had started by the time I got off the bus at 8 AM and pretty much kept up all morning. It seems everyone at the office decided it was a good day to work from home.

I however, deciding that the state was becoming wussified at the first sight of a snowflake, decided to go in. Of course the first thing I did when I did get in was to check the bus schedule for the times home, in case it got really bad. I also take seriously the warning that "later routes may be delayed," having been left waiting at the bus stop for much longer than I should have.

Since Boss Lady scheduled a 4 PM meeting, I decided that I should catch the 1:30 bus, which was packed.

The snowblower was still balky at starting, but it did eventually start. It's always much more fun using the blower than shoveling.

Someone asked for pictures, but with all the snow there really wasn't any detail that came across well on a photo, and neither do I have sweeping vistas.

But, I thought I'd try a video. Yes, a video of snow in my backyard; try to contain yourself.



We should get some more snow yet tonight, with another inch or 2 tomorrow. I think I'm going to have to go in to the office again, just because.

On a scale of 1 to 10, I'd only put the storm as a 7, it isn't that bad
