It was bitingly cold as I set off and I regretted not taking a hat but once the sun had come out fully I was really quite hot by the time I got back.
Several of my Flickr friends have asked me how Millie is getting on and as you can see she doesn’t mind having her photo taken, gone are the days of a growl when I pick up my camera or switched it on, the pieces of cheese treats worked wonders and then I held her tennis ball high above the lens or far out to the side, unfortunately, I can’t get her to stay still when she’s in some lovely relaxed positions either resting her head on a step or waiting with that look in her face for me to open the fridge. One day I might achieve that.
The last Millie update I told you that she had been attacked by another dog and as a result of this experience we had a very bad time not only was every dog we met on our walks a vicious dog to be growled at and fight but she suddenly became so obsessed to the point that any movement in shadows was a dog ready to fight. She turned on me several times, in fact, all the time, one day she climbed up my back and bit my neck, she ripped clothes off me and would suddenly turn on me for no apparent reason one day in the garden she attacked me biting my arm so hard that even though I had a thick jacket on she left deep cuts and a bruised arm (four weeks later I haven’t quite healed) I thought we had reached the end of the road I live on my own but there are children nearby and if… well, I couldn’t take that risk and to pass her on to someone else was unfair. I had made the decision but I was so upset, the night before she suddenly started showing her teeth at me with that horrible look in her eyes (by this time I was having to wear industrial gloves to protect my hands almost all the time) as she attacked me I grabbed her by the collar held her at right angles against the wall about 3 feet off the ground, believe me very few people have seen me lose my temper but she did as I shouted at her that if she carried on there was only one way it was going to finish I then slammed her to the floor. After a while, she sheepishly walked towards me pressed her body hard against me and she has been perfect ever since.
Mmmm... tasted good! :-)

Growing my nails out. Today I gave myself a home manicure. I'm so proud. My nails have never been this long. Sad, but true.
I'm a biter.
as a glimpse into what else has been going on with me. i bite my thumb. it's a coping mechanism. far healthier than my other one, if you ask me.
i struggle with really difficult anxiety; i have a panic disorder according to my doc. being even a little nervous can easily escalate into a fullblown panic attack which i feel prevents me from doing many things (getting a job, vacation, meeting new people, a lot of social events, etc).
so when i'm nervous, scared, uncomfortable, upset, mad, distressed, anything really, i bite my thumb. depending on how uncomfortable i am, i sometimes even bite my knuckles, parts of the hand or my wrist.
i take things out physically, in one way or another. this is the most commonplace physical coping in my life so far.

Accidentally stumbled upon a Northern Water Snake trying to eat a large American Bullfrog. We watched for about 10 minutes as the frog sat patiently most of the time with his entire left leg down the snake's throat. I'm not sure of the final outcome, but I'm guessing the snake eventually gave up and realized the frog was a bit too large.
Found in the East Fork of the Little Miami River, about one mile upstream from the village of Batavia, Ohio.
This species of softshell turtle will definitely bite if you get too close! Missouri River near Vermillion, SD.
A nail-biting end? Biting nails is part of my family life ... Little anxieties nibbling at our extremities. Memories which still have a bite to them, coming to the surface like hungry fishes. Nails which can scratch any itch are torn off leaving soft ends for surviving fingers. Nails seem to offer us a hindrance to rest. The hard component of parental touch, in which touch was the dominant sense of our connectedness - our power? Scratching the skins surface inadvertently. Before we could say please scratch here? Some gnawing anxiety from this era of our foundational self bubbles up to our extremities. Calls out to be bitten at. Be gone!
If only they could be so simply.

You'd expect this shot to be a nice bit of staged posturing for the camera, but Laura was legitimately freaked out by the Whaley Haunted House. She wouldn't let either of us go into a room without a third party present and flat-out refused to enter certain areas of the home. She was reading about the haunted history of the house near an open window when I got her attention and took this picture. My personal favorite bit is the shadow cast perfectly over the eyes.
