Odd dog alert-June 10, 2011

We thought the odd dog in the office would be the only one. Nope, there are two next door. The couple on the left of us are from Florida. He is here to be treated at the VA Hospital. This one is one of the tops in the U. S. Anyway, they have two Yorkshire Terriers. He said they were, but you can't tell it. They are both shaved except the hair on their ears. Neither of us has ever seen any dog quite as odd looking as these two. The next time you see a Yorkie, visualize it with no hair except the long hair on its ears. Weird, really weird.
Today we went to the Folk Art Center which is nearby on the Blue Ridge Parkway. It is a state sponsored, juried display of all sorts of mountain artist's work. It was wonderful. Some of the jewelry was breathtaking and just about that expensive. And the quilts were the likes of nothing we have ever seen, with an out of this world price tag. We came away with a full map of the entire length of the Blue Ridge Parkway which runs from Georgia to Virginia. We saw on a relief map that we have hit the top of it in height, so it's all downhill if we go north on it. We won't do that this trip. It was a gorgeous day, in the low 80s. The weather here is very nice. Well, the two long-hair-on-ears-shaved-Yorkies are yapping their fool heads off. Think I'll go talk to the little rats.
