Dino Chronicles

Have I ever shared how I came to name my blog “Dino Chronicles”? Just like I am obsessing about what to rename my blog, I had the same issue in February 2010 when I first started this endeavor. I remember distinctly sitting in the big chair in the living room, my laptop in my lap, my feet under Dino the Wonderdog on the ottoman.

I kept whining to my husband and both kids, “What am I going to name my blog?” I had nothing, not a single title in my head.

“Mom, just call it the Dino Chronicles,” Val blurted it out.

“Why would I name it that?”

“Why not? Just call it something.”

I don’t get much sympathy around my house. I looked at the lazy dog, sleeping as usual. Why would I name anything after him? Isn’t it enough that, for some bizarre reason, we call him the Wonderdog? And claim he is known internationally (except that is a true statement and another story)? Ok and why not?

So, without any more thought, that’s what I wrote in the little box on the blogger site.

Betty is finally heard from

"Oh my goodness," Mom said. "What is out on the dog pen door?"

"Is that Betty?" Mom said next. "She is so cute."
"Why, yes, it is Betty, the coolest cat on the property!"

Fred, you all know, is nothing but a snob, Cheshire is just a big stupid boy and Alice - really? I think she thinks she's a dog. She spends all her time with that silly Dino.

But, me, Betty? I am simply awesome. You have never seen a cat like me before. I am the epitome of cool cat.

Don't know what happened to Wednesday's and Friday's blogs this week. I put them out and now they are gone. I am getting ready to leave for the weekend, again, and just don't have the energy to post them again. I'll be back at it with bells on come Monday! In the meantime - pictures.

Betty and Fred - Fred is looking way too friendly, and Betty usually is not that aloof.

Alice and Ches - Ches is waaay bigger than this now, and Alice hasn't grown at all.
