The Redheaded Penguin

Okay, as I’ve mentioned before, I’m using the Google Reader to manage my subscriptions to more RSS feeds than I probably should. Anyway, one of the nicer options about Google Reader (at least in my mind) is the ability to “share” items that you find interesting. Basically, Google Reader creates a page especially for you that contains the RSS stories that you choose to share with the world. Well, that’s all well and good and stuff, but it means that people have to know where that page is in order to find things (or be your “friend” in Google… but that’s another story/issue). Well, luckily they have a way to put a “clip” of shared sites on other webpages. I wish I could modify they color scheme/layout a little more than the options they give, but it’s better than nothing. Anyway, now available on the left hand side of this page is a list of the 10 most stories that I’ve most recently marked as “shared” in Google Reader. There’s also a link at the bottom that will take you to the “full” page of stories I’ve shared, if you want to see other stories that I’ve shared in the past…

Well, I had the day off (the joy of working for the State, so to speak). It was a rainy day, but that didn’t stop Milly from chasing a squirrel into the palm tree. She then proceeded to sit under the tree, staring up into the rain, for several minutes in hopes that it would reappear. It never did…

Eventually we had to bring her back inside, so she sat and stared at the tree through the door looking all down-hearted…

Oh, and for those that don’t know… the blue thing around her neck is a “pro-collar” to keep her from biting/chewing on her back hips. It’s much nicer than the plastic e-collars that are out there, though also more expensive… Anyway, it is air-filled so she bounces off things and can eat/drink with it on. She’s actually gotten “attached” to it now and doesn’t seem bothered by wearing it most of the time…
