Who Are We?

The Failed Attempt is one writer's blog designed to expose the author's work to criticism, cynicism and enjoyment. It is updated whenever the author actually has the time to do so, but at least once a week is what we're aiming for. Please leave comments. Let us know just how much you love us... Cuz you know you do.

I just blogged to say, I love dogs!




Well, ladies and gentlemen, I have for your amusement a picture of me blogging in Belmont, not a natural habitat but a favored habitat nonetheless. This is where I come to rest my weary self when my weary self no longer wants to be at home. Pictured with me are three visible furry friends who, in this picture, are helping me review a blog post. From left to right, and with the comments they were giving to me at the time:

The ol' man at the top of the recliner - Willoughby, affectionately known as "Woodjams, rhymes with toe-jams, with his little old man eyebrows." He says, "Its fine, Lydia, because I was sitting on your head when you wrote it, and my schmootzie always helps you think better."

The little girl under my arm (her favorite spot, by the way) is Lady Bug, aka. Bug am Lug. OR Lardass. She says, "Who cares? I certainly don't care because I stole two of your socks earlier and you will never find them."

The perky little princess who is so enjoying her photo-op is Penelope. We call her Poo-Poos and I have no idea why. It might come from the fact that she likes to suffocate you by laying her ear on your mouth and she goes crazy when you whisper "poo poos" in her ear. Its a possibility... Penny says, "Someone has a camera! I am a camera slut. I am only happy when that Camera is focused on me. How does my hair look?"

And this, ladies and gentlemen, is the secret to my artistic success - the help of good friends.

Note: Thank you to the wonderful Carol of I.A.C. fame for taking the picture, for feeding me all this month and letting me crash on her couch. Love you lots!

I REALLY like the picture of you with all five of them! Not possible with five of our breed of dog, Sally weighs in at 85 pounds. It would make for an interesting picture.
