Gotta love California. Insane state that it is. The rain we were supposed to get, was cancelled in lieu of a cloudy day in the mid-60's, but then that actually become this:

| I don't know how we'll survive the downpour :) |

| Blue enjoying the "rain" |
 |
| Lazing on the Patio in need of a mani/pedi |
 |
| A blurry "I'm outta here, enough with the photos" |
While out picking up after Blue for the gardeners (who didn't show by the way) I discovered an assortment of fungal growths in the yard. Did I mention I told the property manager that she didn't need to have the sprinklers on the front, back and side yards for over half an hour three days a week? We had a mild summer this year, so that amount of watering is overkill.

So this is the result...fungus among'us. Lol! I couldn't resist, I remember that phrase from somewhere in childhood. |
 |
| No, it's not pooh, I KNOW the difference...lol! |
 |
| Weird little cup shaped things |
 |
| This began as one bulbous thing and has multiplied into two...hmmm.... |
I've been trying to find a bed for Mr. B but with no luck. L.L. Bean was the brand the my Siberian Huskies enjoyed. They're really super durable. Only two problems, the size for Blue is $59 (~43 Euros) and the company had changed the cover on the pillow of stuffing so it is no longer a fairly waterproof fabric. Sure the cover washes great but I want to be able to hang the insert over the fence and hose it down in case an "accident" leaks through. The old insert fabric seemed like a ripcord type of fabric. Thus my reluctance to pay $59 buckeroos.
Blue is hard to fit since he's so long. He's not like one of those miniature poof-ball dogs which are adorable and I think the "model" that manufacturers of dog beds use as a guide.
While I was out the other day, I found (finally) a bed for the Mr. and it was only $14.99 (10.9 Euros)! Sadly, it's too small. Purchased it at CVS drug store, so it's not like I can bring him in to test out the sizes the way you can at Petco. So tomorrow or Sunday, I'll bring it back and hope the other one I saw is still there.
Note: when I was out taking photos I noticed that it's colder in my house than it is outside! Crazy California weather and building codes.

Re: fungus among'us -- I remember hearing that on Arthur Godfrey's TV show, 'way back in the late 50's. I think he was doing a commercial for a deodorant at the time. Egad.
Hi and thanks for the info. Had no clue where it came from, just recall kids saying it teasingly to each other. Some things you never forget. A deodorant commercial, really? Lol!
