Pop Culture Frenzy, Round 86

 Welcome once again to Pop Culture Frenzy.  We have been on hiatus for a long time.  It started with the COVID lockdowns.  We were, of course, deemed nonessential. Now, we're back at it.  On to our question.

What did you do during the lockdowns?

Molly?

                             I spent some time thinking about the meaning of life and stuff. 

Hostmaster:  Fluffy? 

 I wrote a book.

Hostmaster:  Bryan?

I took up day drinking.

Hostmaster:  Cyndi?

I supported the efforts to keep everyone safe.

Hostmaster:  fascinating.  Molly got deep, Byran got drunk, Fluffy got busy, Cyndi became a Karen.  I must say you guys are predictable.  I took a trip cross country, as the crow flies, so to speak.  There are advantages to being a bird, that's for sure. 

What lovely things did you see and do?

That's classified.  This round is now over for security reasons.

Happy Belated Holidays

 

I have been severely remiss about posting lately.  Lately- as in for weeks and months.  

Here is a shot of me taken by The Handsome One to thank the in-laws for their Christmas gifts. 

It may seem strange that a festive wreath is displayed next to shelves in a basement.  Actually, it's hanging from Malcom's enclosure.

From Malcom and all of us here at Bad Dog Ranch,

The Lord bless and keep you: The Lord make his face to shine upon you and be gracious to you: The Lord lift up his countenance upon you and give you peace.              -Numbers 6:24-26

Turkey Walk

 A Turkey struts across the lawn.

A gang of youngsters join in.

Here's a group of adults wandering around.

Now they're marching in the back nine.

Meet Me Tonight Near the Compost Pile

 

There is a pair of eyes down that trail.  The racoon facing those eyes looks to be alert.

Is this a showdown of some sort?

A cat bird drops by.

There are baby birds to feed.

This requires frequent trips.

Hazel is a Grown Up

 Hazel is a grown up.  She is almost two.

She has more moments of calm.

(So lady-like!)

She is even allowed on the bed with the other big dogs.

Clover still isn't willing to be pals with Hazel.  Though she has lightened up on the growling, the dirty looks continue as does the occasional snubbing.
