Moses, Part One


My hands have been hurting me lately (no doubt a relic of marathon Voice of Crow revisions), so I'm trying to limit my typing to fiction for the next several days.

So I'll just have to communicate with all of you telepathically.

Are you thinking what I'm thinking? Tell me in the comments.

Also, our lovely new foster, Moses, got neutered yesterday. Leave your get well soon/sympathy wishes (depending on your gender) in the comment section.

How much of a heathen am I, that when I think of this dog's name, I don't think Ten Commandments or the father of three major world religions, but rather:

Moses supposes his toeses are roses,
But Moses supposes erroneously.

A Rose is a rose is a rose is a rose is
A rose is what Moses supposes his toes is
Couldn't be a lily or a daphi daphi dilli
It's gotta be a rose cuz it rhymes with Mose!

Jeri, I was thinking exactly that couplet when I heard his name.

Proof of telepathy, or another gray elephant in Denmark?

Kate,

WHOA!! No, I don't read that blog, but I will now. Clearly there's some funky synchronicity going on.

Everyone go out and rent "Singing in the Rain" tonight and see what other secret messages it holds for us.

Whenever I see that name I say "Moses, Moses!" as if I were addressing Charlton Heston in the Cecil B. DeMille classic.

Hi there Moses, do hope you are doing well after your surgery on Tues. Tell your foster Mommy to give you lots of TLC, as I know she does anyway, you will be back to running really soon--Love, NANA, hope to see you in two weeks!

Blackjack got really nasty for a couple of days after his operation. (Maybe he understood, after all.) I hope Moses avoids that.

He did growl at a big dog he saw at PetsMart, so he might be going through a little of that. Otherwise he's calm, except for desperately wanting to romp in the snow, which he can't do for a week after his surgery.

Hope Blackjack is settling in better now!
