Oskar

This is Oskar. He lives with the son and family that I visited over New Year's. Funny how a blue eyed dog looks so fierce. It's an illusion. He's a big love lump. He and I went for walks. It was cold. We walked quickly. His favourite food, when bored, are cell phones and remote controls (zappers). One night when he was short of these nibbles he substituted bottles of nail polish. He is training everyone to put everything away. I am very careful with my belongings.
I once bred Siberian Huskies. With Oskar I fell in love with them all over again.

Sister

While in Montreal I shared a room with Sister, a Barbed Dragon. We had separate quarters, and Sister does not make any noise. She is over a foot long and comes out in the evening. She snuggles around necks; I think for the warmth. One evening six of us were playing Bananagram. Sister was there, too, perhaps contributing silent words.

And, thanks to John, here is Susan Boyle singing "Wings to Fly", which was only released in Japan.
