Thankful Thursday Thought for the Day

Never kick a cow chip on a hot day. - Will Rogers Quotes and sayings

This is something I have to thankful for today in Las Vegas because it isn't warm enough to worry about kicking cow chips. Cow chips are things one normally doesn't have to worry about in Las Vegas, goat chips maybe, but not cow chips. Someone within the five or six block area around my house has a goat; at least, someone used to have a goat. I haven't heard the goat in several months, so perhaps one of their closer neighbors complained about the noise or the smell.

We have a lot of cats and dogs in this neighborhood, so one has to be careful of dog dodo on a hot day especially when people let their dogs run loose, the dogs escape their yards, or they don't clean up after their dogs when they walk them. Since cats bury their business their dodo isn't a problem. Normally, I don't see very many dogs running loose, there is one dog that gets loose once in a while. It's a Great Dane and he's large enough to jump fences. I saw him jump a neighbor's fence a couple of years ago. He went over that fence as if he were superman or rather superdog and he didn't even have a cape.

Another thing I am thankful for today is the rain and cloudy sky. It's cool, almost chilly; chilly enough for a sweater. There is a woman who usually wears short sleeved blouses and tops when she walks her dog (she cleans up after her dog). Today she was wearing a long sleeved sweater so it has to be cooler then normal this morning. I haven't been outside much this morning. I went out to pick up the newspaper and I enjoyed the brisk autumn air, but then I wasn't walking a dog in the autumn rain.
