Saturday January 4. Something special about this day. I have know idea what. A friend just had an old dog cross the rainbow bridge. I don’t know why they refer to this rainbow bridge. They got two new puppies. Hard to find old puppies. Of course they are cute. I was cute when I was a puppy. There is a movie, Ugly Benny, not ugly of course. It is about Benny, a stray dog that saves the day or week. Job had dogs out watching his flocks. Pyrenees? Did Noah have Pyrenees, Newfies, labs, black, yellow, white, green with algae. No room for unicorns. I Think it best to get a dog soon after loosing one. Dogs need homes, homes need dogs. A house with out a dog, is just a house with out a dog. Solomon must have had a dog, he was wize. Who do you think made him wize? All dogs go to heaven, no need of a rainbow bridge. Hugo thinks going to heaven is my taking him for a walk. And my taking him for a walk. And another walk.

The third day of 2025 1/4 of the way through another century. 1925, model T. Still running. Super Dog, gone. Pluto no longer a planet. Goofy. Never was a planet. Never was a human. Hugo never was a planet. He has his own human. Trying to train him. Hard. Hugo thinks we should get a Model T, T for Truck. We would have a place in the back for people to ride. I think we should get a 2 door coupe, with a rumble seat. We could go to rumble’s. It might be called a grumble seat in the winter. Or a car pool. On a rainy day. Hugo is accepting rain as an annoying part of life. He just shakes it off, on us. Did you know when a dog shakes his skin is so loose the ridge of his back can go half way down either side. Did you know I want a nap and Hugo wants a walk?

Tomorrow will be next year. The ball will drop. Hugo and I will let the new year sneak in while we sleep. Gravity works even when we sleep. Happy New Year. Hugo thinks it is just another day. Another year for me to be de-ranged. One friend sez he hates me, but likes me to much to not be friends. And he thinks Hugo and I are de-ranged. At home on de-range where de deer and antelope play. Hugo does still play with the deer. We are on the high desert, which is range land. BLM rents range land to cattle ranchers. De are out on de range. De, Or is it day. Or just D Range. Hugo doesn’t spell he understands phonetic sounds and uses facial expressions and body language to influence his interpretation of our words. I can’t spell because letters wander around the page and sometimes hide. I speak and understand, English, mostly, Minnesotian, Dog and a universal language. Hugo understands better than me. He is only d ranged when a car gets too close to us. They are out to kill us. They tried, Hugo learned about inertia when he went through the back window. After he removed it, I crawled out it to go to the hospital. The drunk that rear ended us was too pickled to be hurt. Hugo does not like cars. We think the driver was d-ranged. Hugo doesn’t usually read my words of wisdom. He is wise enough. Another new year to go on walks to gain more wisdom. We are wise to go on d range walks and become wiser from our walks.

Going in for surgery today. 6:15 am. No food after midnight. Hugo doesn’t know why he can’t eat, he doesn’t even get to go to the hospital. The doctor was a teacher. They say those who can do, those who can’t do, teach. He wants to know if he can do. He had some windows replaced and the screen looked good so he saved it. They use screen to reenforce hernia tears. $40:00 for 4 inch square. He figures he has enough screen to last his lifetime. He watched a you tube video on this operation and if it goes well he may specialize. I started this at 4 am. Woke up at 2:30. Got home at high noon. Good staff. Weight restrictions. I have two pallets of concrete blocks to unload. Probably only do one today. No hurry. Hugo is by my side, but he won’t help with the concrete blocks. Moche laid on my lap, kept me warm. Hugo won’t get his walks today. I stumble around with a cane and someone holding me up. They gave me fentanyl, I asked for a big bottle of it, I thought I could sell it and pay the hospital. They declined my request. Who would arrest an old man in pain? Actually the pain is not bad, well it’s not good, but it is bearable. A bear probably wouldn’t even notice it. Linda is my in house nurse Hugo’s dog walker.

‘Twas the day after Christmas and all through the house
Not a creature was stirring, not even a mice.

Mouse, mice. Louse, lice. Is there a correlation? Are you a louse? We didn’t have a white Christmas Eve. Hugo’s prayers and wishes did not come true. The wind blew it all away. We still have wind and rain. And rain. And wind. Things went bump in the night. A five foot tall glass panel blew over. Didn’t break. I blew over didn’t break. Moche was out in it. She thinks she broke. She’s wet. Hugo and I got wet just going out in the backyard. Don’t dare go for a walk.

Merry Christmas from Hugo and me. Even the grouchy old man sez Merry Christmas. He seldom appears on Christmas. Too much joy in the true meaning of Christmas.. Hugo gets a new collar and a Christmas walk. 29 degrees, but no snow. But he still dreams of a White Christmas. Dog dreams and prayers have more power than humans. Hugo thinks the manger was snowed in. The sheep came down to keep the baby warm. He also knows there was a Great Pyrenees there. With a mustard seed of faith you can move mountains. The Great Pyrenees moved the Pyrenees to Bethlehem for the first Christmas. How big is your faith today?
Have a Merry Christmas walk.

Today is the 23. Christmas Eve, Eve. On the 25 th I can tell my friend Eve, Merry Christmas Eve. Today I can tell her Merry Christmas Eve, Eve, Eve. Tonight on our walk Hugo and I saw 5 pairs of eyes looking back at us. Light reflecting in their eyes. The Cinco de deero squad was looking back. They had been sleeping in the grass. Splendor in the grass? Then we saw cat eyes in the grass, sometimes they looked blue. Not Moche. Merry Christmas Eve, Eve. Eve, I’ll talk to you after Hugo’s walk.

I grew up on cheerios. Made from oats. Health food. Cheerios are still popular. They have various Cheerios. Now fruit and vegetable Cheerios. I got the Apple Strawberry variety. Still has oats first. Oat meal. I think oat meal is still made from oats. It also has corn meal, sweet potato powder, corn starch, strawberries purée, apple purée and spinach powder. Hugo and I are confused. Now wheat flour looks like powder. Oat flour looks powdery. We have oats, cracked oats, rolled oats, oat meal, Scottish oat meal, oat powder, oat flour. Oat puffs. I am confused. Rolled oats and oat meal look the same. I have had both in my breakfast bowl for breakfast. My dinner bowl is for soup or salad. We see advertising that wants us to buy products. Scottish oat meal looks like cracked oats that were recracked. Are rolled oats, whole oat kernels that were mugged? Hugo prefers rice to oats. Maybe he would like Rice crispies. Rice Chex, rice puffs. They have strawberry and apple purée, why not spinach purée? Why is E pure? Hugo likes beef purée, but not beef powder. He likes beef chunks better but ground beef is fine. Beef jerky is questionable, too dry. Beef meal and beef byproducts are in dry dog food. If a pig is standing next to a cow is that a by product? We see advertising that wants us to buy products . Hugo is not influenced by advertising or influencers. He is influenced by a walk.

They now have facial recognition for cows. We had a cat door that would only let our cat in. No facial recognition, she had to wear a collar. Kept the skunks out. Raccoons would probably figure out how to open it. Does cow recognition know their name? Betsy, move over one stall, that is Daisies place. Bossie, you have been shunned, you are too bossy. If we had dog facial recognition, could Hugo’s brother sneak in..could his little sister flash those puppy eyes and get sympathy entrance? Dogs are more advanced, they have had butt recognition for many decades. Unfortunately we can’t tell if a politician is a horses butt or not. Even though most are. Over twenty feet a dog doesn’t have facial recognition, (FR?). Butt recognition is less than one inch, apparently. Is it Butt Sniffing Recognition? BSR. Some politicians seem to have facial sniffing recognition. More evidence that we should let the country go to the dogs. It doesn’t matter what a politician sez, dogs know what they are. Would dogs follow my example? Vote early, vote often, vote NO. Hugo would vote for an early walk, often walks, and vote no to no walks.

Hugo is losing his snow. He found a nice patch to lay on. The rain will melt the rest of it soon. He enjoys it while he can. Today it is raining, 37 degrees. But he is praying for more snow. December sixteenth is a good time for snow. Hugo thinks July sixteenth is a good time for snow. He is dreaming of a white Christmas and a white Fourth of July. Snow makes the world so white, merry and bright. Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow. I wonder if Hugo would get tired of snow in Antarctica. Thirty below. Good movie. Based on a true story. They say Iceland was once a tropical paradise. Global warming. De ja voo all over again. The ice man cometh. One thing about weather, we will always have it. One thing about Hugo, he will always want a walk.

I went to bed in the high desert, woke up in Minnesota. 27 above. 54 above Roosevelt. Hugo is happy. A nice snow walk day. My snow shovel is snowed in. My leaf blower said it was going to Arizona for the winter. My snow blower is dreaming of a white Christmas from the Florida keys. They make plastic scoop shovels,guaranteed for lifetime of use. They lasted 5 minutes at 30 below. You can still buy them in the Florida keys. Turtles use them to slide down the sand dunes. My snowblower got a sunburn making sand dunes. Fair skinned redheads burn easily. They paint snow blowers red so you can find them in a snow drift. They tried yellow, but people didn’t like digging in yellow snow. Don’t buy yellow snow cones. They may not be lemon. My Tacoma is headed down hill but I should have taken the drag slicks off. Hugo nay have to pull me to get started. I hope he is not too tired after our snow walk.

Hugo has alpaca burger dog food. I don’t think it is from Germany. We have hamburger that started in Hamburg. It was from a cow, not ham. We have chicken burger, turkey burger, ground round. I haven’t seen ground square. Auburn, California has a restaurant called the Ground Cow. I think the burgers are made from cow. Do they have cow pies for desert? Ground elephant? How many 1/4 pounders to an elephant. Maybe we should start with 1/4 tonners. Buy one, get one free. Feeds six thousand. And Hugo. Hugo likes hamburger, ham hamburger, chicken hamburger, turkey hamburger, ground round hamburger, maybe ground square. Is that what Wendy makes her hamburgers from? Hugo does not eat Beyond Burger. Hugo is a second stage vegetarian. Cow eats vegetables, Hugo eats cow. Cow burger, cow steak, cow brisket, cow legs, cow heart. Not grass burger. Hugo thinks we should get a cow. Take it for a walk. If he gets hungry, he can have a cow leg. Can a three legged cow walk? A four legged cow can go up a stairs, but can’t come back down. We can take a three legged dog for a walk.

Winter is back. 18 degrees. Eight years ago, we had snow to make Hugo happy. Dreaming of a white Christmas. Clear sunny day. 16 days to pray for snow. Have you noticed that most Christmas movies have snow. Even in the south. We watched one in Santa Fe, no snow, and one down south, no snow but made little sno men out of short posts. Decorated like sno men. Usually it magically snows. Hugo dreaming of a white Christmas. The freezing fog we had was pretty but no snow on the ground. Hugo wants to nap on a snow bank. Go for a snow walk.

The 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month two wars officially ended. December 7th a war started. 9-11 terrorst attacks.
21 year old kids know little of these events. They weren’t here. They know nothing of rationing, war bonds, flag draped coffins coming to their small town. Several lined up at the train depot.
They have not experienced the loss of our men, women, dogs, and horses. Legs missing, arms missing, shell shock victims, now post traumatic stress disorder. War is started by one greedy person wanting what someone else has. Then the young kill each other because they don’t have a chance to meet. They have no quarrel with the other person. Hugo and I thank those of you who gave so much. We often think of you on our walks.

19 degrees. Freezing fog. The roof looks like it snowed. Nothing on the ground.. last night, on our walk I would see a flash of light. An eye looking back. Hugo wasn’t concerned, so I knew there was no animal. Do ghosts eye reflect light? Was it Casper? I realized the fog froze on the tail grass and sometimes reflected back. We had a nice walk, didn’t see Casper again. Would Hugo bark at the friendly ghost? Would Casper be out in just a sheet? A sheep skin coat would be warmer and white. I have never seen a ghost. I had an imaginary friend when I was five. He wasn’t a ghost, he was real. Hugo sees things I don’t see. Maybe he has an imaginary friend. Maybe Hugo is my imaginary friend. What walks on all four when it is young, two in mid life and three in old age? Me. I crawled on all four as a baby, two in mid life, and three with my cane in old age. Sometimes six when Hugo holds me up. Hugo, wanna go on a six legged walk?

I was sitting here looking out over the mountains. Saw some contrails. Hugo is here with me. Read an article about the contrails poisoning the public. They said it isn’t happening. I am not saying I think it is. But their argument was not convincing. Pilots deny it. Why would pilots know? They don’t fuel the plane. It could be added to the fuel with out any but a few knowing. If you look at a map of air traffic, it is concentrated on the east coast. Then Chicago, Denver, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Portland, Seattle and other big cities. The fly over states would get much less. The elite could be taking an antidote to protect themselves. Dogs may be I’m. Cats too, but cats are crazy anyway, so how could we tell. Here I am trying to debunk the contrail theory and I may have added proof. The east coast is crazy, our politicians and the elites are crazy. They are concentrated on the east coast and big cities. There are always some people who are unaffected by some things. Natural immunity. That may be why some sane people are in the high population areas have retained their sanity. It would be easier to add whatever it is to the water. But then the rural areas are on wells. The government certainly is capable of this type of thing and has a history of messing with our minds. They do many things to stop us from being sensible. I think to be safe we should let the country go to the dogs. They would never act like our current government. Some cities have elected dogs and seem to be well run. Better run than Washington DC. If we can find enough dogs to run, let’s elect them. If they won’t run let’s take them for a walk

Sucker. Some people have it written on their forehead. Hugo is very literate . He reads dog. Dog people can understand about five barks. But few read dog. Dogs read and write p mail. You may write p mail but I doubt you read it. You probably don’t even try. They can understand English, French, Chinese, British English, Scottish English, Irish English, Texas English, Georgia English, German, low German, high German, Spanish, high school Spanish. While it may be Greek to you, they can understand Greek. They can read SUCKER, in any language. A lady gave Hugo a dog treat, and me a bag of people cookies. He ate his and I ate part of mine and offered him some. He turned away and looked at her. She went and got him more dog treats. When she was gone he ate part of my cookie. SUCKER, right there on her forehead. Look in the mirror, can you read it? Debbie, Bear can read it. Vanessa, all dogs can read it. Dakota, Moche can read it. Dog people all have it. Except me. Yes Hugo, we can go for a 22 degree walk.

Hugo enjoys the snow. He thanks GOD for his answered prayers by making snow angels. He will do this several times during the day and night. We went out a little after midnight and he made some. It was 26 degrees. Moche wanted out. 26 degrees, she won’t be out long. Hugo and I waited and waited. I read my book. Hugo laid with me on the couch. We waited, Hugo got off the couch. I went and checked again, 484 times. No Moche. We went to bed slept until 9. We waited for her for hours. She finally came in about four hours later. Hugo slept, I read, I slept. It didn’t snow. Now it is 53 degrees. Moche sleeps on a blanket. Hugo wants a walk.
