Some on-time mail and some very overdue mail.

Hey, what's up, dogs?  I'm back again!  I know, quite unusual for me to post twice in a week, but that's what happens when you're sheltering in place.  

Today I have three pieces of mail to show you.  Two of them are being posted very late, thanks to my human.  Sandy Bear sent me a postcard in January (yes, JANUARY) about his vacation to Mexico.  And Ajdin sent me a postcard in December (yes, DECEMBER) about his visit to the Air Force Academy in Colorado.  Sigh...My human will definitely lose points for "Blog Maintenance" on the end-of-year evaluation.

Happily, I'm posting the last card right on time...actually, a few days early.  It's from Little Fox...a birthday card, "from one canine to another."

Oooo....look at that fancy font.  Thanks, L.F.!  You're a "pawsome" pal.

That's it for now.  Stay safe and healthy, everyone.  See you next time...

Green (or not-so-green) paw update

Hey, what's up, dogs?  Like a whole lot of other households, my human and I are "hunkering and bunkering" to avoid the coronavirus...so I thought I would update you on our progress with the orchids we re-potted last post. 

As you can see, we did the re-potting process again since last time, this time using some (homemade) slotted pots that allow the roots some light and air.  

One of the orchids still has a pretty good root system.  The other orchid lost a lot of its roots to root rot, and it looks a little...well...DROOPY.  Heh heh.  That's my name--don't wear it out!

The droopy orchid is on the upper right.  Not to be confused with the Droopy Dog on the upper left.

So I'm not sure what the chances are for recovery for these orchids.  I guess time will tell...I'll keep you posted.

In other news, my human also decided to try sprouting some avocado pits by suspending them in water.  They've been like this for about 3 weeks, and while the pits have started to split lengthwise, there's not much else to report.  Apparently, sprouting avocados like this can take a long time.  Again, I'll keep you posted.

Well...that's it for this update.  I hope everybody is staying safe and healthy during this outbreak.  Make sure to wash your hands/paws frequently and practice social distancing!  See you next time...
