Time May Change Me. . .



I was once a small puppy. Yes, hard to believe, huh? I was about the size (and shape) of a football when I came to live with my HUmoms. It seems like only yesterday; but in truth, it was close to 10 years ago now. And every day gets more and more exciting as life swirls and changes with me.


Ch-ch-ch-ch-changes
Turn and face the strange
Ch-ch-changes
Don't want to be a richer man
Ch-ch-ch-ch-changes
Turn and face the strange
Ch-ch-changes
There's gonna have to be a different man
Time may change me
But I can't trace time


In fact, here is a side by side of me as a wee pup and me as a grand dam!


The photo on the bottom was taken 3 weeks ago when I went to visit Mommy #1 at University.

I don't think I should like to go back in time to puppydom, though. I mean, I would like to live with my Mommys FOREVER. But even that is not enough to go back to itchy gums and uncontrolled bladder. Everyday was an adventure, sure, as I discovered new things and learned how to live with humans. But now, I still get to discover new things every day (ch-ch-ch-Changes) only without the stress of not KNOWING.

I guess time has changed me . . . a little.

We are all Stardust Today



I am so sad today. David Bowie has passed away at the not-so-old age of 69 years. We listen to him a lot at Casa de Noodles. His music transcends its time and is as relevant today as it was when he first shared "A Space Oddity" in 1969.

His career, which spanned the years from 1967-2016, was always inventive and unexpected.

So, I am substituting my planned post for today to honor the man who brought so much to the world - R.I.P. David Bowie.





"Space Oddity"


Ground Control to Major Tom
Ground Control to Major Tom
Take your protein pills 
and put your helmet on

Ground Control to Major Tom
Commencing countdown, 
engines on
Check ignition 
and may God's love be with you

[spoken]
Ten, Nine, Eight, Seven, Six, Five, Four, Three, Two, One, Liftoff

This is Ground Control 
to Major Tom
You've really made the grade
And the papers want to know whose shirts you wear
Now it's time to leave the capsule 
if you dare

This is Major Tom to Ground Control
I'm stepping through the door
And I'm floating 
in a most peculiar way
And the stars look very different today

For here
Am I sitting in a tin can
Far above the world
Planet Earth is blue
And there's nothing I can do

Though I'm past 
one hundred thousand miles
I'm feeling very still
And I think my spaceship knows which way to go
Tell my wife I love her very much 
she knows

Ground Control to Major Tom
Your circuit's dead,
there's something wrong
Can you hear me, Major Tom?
Can you hear me, Major Tom?
Can you hear me, Major Tom?
Can you....

Here am I floating 
round my tin can
Far above the Moon
Planet Earth is blue
And there's nothing I can do.
