B-I-N-G-O and Mini was her name-O!

Mini learns that bingo chips are not as tasty as potato chips!

Spring pays a visit

It is sure to get cold again, but Mini did not let this spring-like day go to waste. She enjoyed the crocuses before the snow comes and freezes them. 

Ultimate Pi Day!

Ultimate Pi Day is coming!  This once per century celebration is observed in the USA and other countries that still write their dates backwards.  Ha, the joke is on those other countries!  Who doesn't want a holiday that revolves around eating tasty pastries?

While you are pigging out  getting your recommended servings of fruit, have a few laughs with the Rat Dog Pack.  On Pi Day, the first 3,141,592,653 people to visit Amazon.com can get a free download of Hilbert's Mathematical Day (Pacific Daylight Savings Time).

Holiday Time! Elf on the Shelf? No, that's Miss Mini!

The holidays are here and Mini is helping to spread cheer.  What is more cheerful than a rat terrier dressed up as one of Santa's elves?  Combining Mini the dog elf with a choir and a showing of A Christmas Carol, that's what!

Mini enjoys the music along with the rest of us.  She needs her dog ears to listen!  Nothing says, Christmas, than the classic Baptist Christmas hymns.

Mini visits her friends.  Everyone is on their best behavior in case the elf reports back to Santa Claus!

After a few hours of spreading cheer at the nursing home, Mini is tuckered out!  She's lucky to have a friend who is willing to lend her a bed!  Christmas is a time of giving and sharing.  Happy holidays, everyone.

And if you need something fun to read this holiday season, or a wonderful gift for the reader in your life, order the paperback or download the e-book  How Not to Kiss Your Dog, the guide to how clean are dog's mouths really are.  Most proceeds go to keeping up Miss Mini's wardrobe! 

Keeping warm!

I came home from work last week and found Shoebert's bed on the heat vent.  After putting it back, I found it on the vent the next day, too.  Shoebert is getting frail at age 14, so I thought that he had knocked it off while trying to get into the window sill.

That's assumption was proved wrong, when I saw Shoeby pull the bed down and place it near the heat vent.  He's old, he's lost much of his fur and he's gotten very thin from his repeated kidney infections.  It's no surprise that he likes snoozing on the heat vent when it's freezing outside.

Why did Hilbert and his friends line up to take a nap?

Because they are rest-queue dogs!

 

Update:  I checked in on the promotion.  Look where Hilbert ranks in most popular math books!

Two for the price of one!

This year Mini added a sailor dress to her collection of costumes.  She wore it to one nursing home for Halloween and then to another for Veterans' Day.  She was a big hit both days, but it was clear that it was the veterans' celebration that her friends enjoyed the most.

I am blessed to be an American and blessed to have found Miss Mini.
