Happiness is...listening to cool jazz from the best seat in the house.

Middle Child plays alto saxophone.

Dewi loves jazz...

...and Middle Child. <3

The photos were not staged. Dewi could not have been happier anywhere else. Really.

Does your dog (cat) react to music?

Neuroses

My dog's, not mine. You don't have time for that. :)

So today I thought I'd share something that does not evoke happiness in my dog. In fact, I don't know what it evokes in him, but it certainly makes him wild whenever it comes out. (I mean raving wild.)

I give you: Jon Farleigh vs. The Salt Shaker 

(This was the best shot I could get - the rest were blurry.)

 "I kill it for you, mom!!!"

[whining, panting, frantic jumping]

Can anyone tell me what it is about a salt shaker (or any shaker) that could make an otherwise happy dog lose his mind? Has anyone heard of this? I'm sure it's the sound, but whyyyyyyyyy???

(Guess it's better than a thunder neurosis - knock wood.)

Does anyone else have a dog who goes bonkers at benign objects? :)

Happiness is...going for a joy ride...

...to pick up a kid.

Waiting....

The tail cannot lie. :)

Mission accomplished.  (No, he looks nothing like Dwayne.)

Ready to roll home. :)

Toodles.
