July 4th, 2008

So as an avid dog lover, I normally go to the parks with my girls to let them enjoy the great naturalness that they contain. I favor Core Creek Park out of all the other County parks, mainly because it’s the closest, and I prefer lakes over creeks, in the sense of Playwicki. This actually has a lot to do with why Core Creek competes fairly well and often wins over Tyler. When it comes to my dogs swimming, I much prefer to let them swim in a wide open area, versus a narrow area. Granted Neshaminy Creek is much larger than Lake Luxembourg, however wideness is what wins the labrador swim test.

As the 4th approached I made sure that I got my girls, at least Nellie and Chimay out to swim before the big weekend.  While Saranac got to enjoy longer walks as part of her rehabilitation. When the 4th approached, I tend to avoid going to the parks, or the beaches, and with that said I also tend to avoid walking them that night due to the fire works being fairly scary to all 3.

In short, my weekend didn’t consist of much, a lot of my friends were out at the beaches, or some where else. Being short on money and wanting to be with the dogs through one of their most dreaded holidays to help calm their fears, I stayed home.

When complete boredom approached, I got the idea of starting to mess with Wikipedia to learn about creating articles. I learned that Core Creek Park didn’t have an article, nor did Clark Nature Center. So I put together 2 articles, proud of my achievement, I took a break and came back…to only find them deleted by the Wiki-Administrators. Well Clark was deleted, Core Creek was marked for deletion. So out of spite I made Clark again, and luckily found other Administrators and Users to back and support the creation of the articles. So they stay a live for now..though the peaceful lively hood of their existence is still under threat do to the articles being ‘kept an eye on’ by the Administrators. You can view the following articles by clicking the following links, Core Creek Park, and Clark Nature Center. Feel free to edit either of these pages yourself with any additional information, images, etc.

When I got bored of working on those, I decided to start a new blog, which point isn’t to share my life, or my ambitions to get something in the community, but to share my pictures of my dogs. Of course theres photobucket, and flickr, but the issue with them is you can’t show them off like you can with a blog. As blogs come up in searches and what not. So using my photobucket account to bring images over to my new blog, I created 2 entries and am working on a few others. Feel free to check them out at “A blog of pictures“.

After creating those, I really didn’t have much of a weekend left, this week is a pretty booked week, so it was sorta good that I had the boredom that I haven’t had since…ooh….I was a teenager without a license to drive…ugh I miss those days…I didn’t have to pay for gas

Blogya later!
