Girl Interrupted.

Hi, friends. Not much of a post today. I spent my time on a creative writing exercise and research on domain names for a new blog I am thinking of writing. We'll see if either of them come to fruition.

In the meantime, I'll just tell you a new thing I learned about Skyler. She does not like livestock. Nope. She does not indeed.

Yesterday was a holiday here in jolly ol' England, and we took her to a community farm here in Manchester. I am a sucker for any kind of livestock, really. And, I had high hopes for my wee girl. When we arrived I took her over to see three of the largest pigs I had ever seen. I mean they were massive! I turned my body so see could see them, she crinkled her nose, and started to sob.

Then we walked over to see chickens and peacocks. I was clucking away (literally) and Skyler looked so bored it was like I took her to an exhibit of different paint colors drying.

I passed her back to Stew and she was all smiles. Until...he knelt down so I could take their picture near some sheep. She looked over, stuck out her lip and started to pout. In moments, the waterworks were on and we were headed to the car.

It would have been so cute had she not been so distraught. It was really a sight.

Okay, that's all. Happy Tuesday, guys.
