I enjoy visiting the cats and dogs. They love to gossip and they tell me very amusing stories about their owners  Nothing that goes on is hidden from them :)

Not that there is any real exciting stuff going on for them to talk about....

They whisper to me, but only after I pass bribes to them. Smudge and Blackie are good talkers. But mostly they were complaing about not getting to be free range cats . So your secrets are safe.
 
I hate dogs that come and sniff your crotch or hump your leg.
They don't whisper, they hump. Disgusting.
 
Be Careful out here in Quartzsite..........

The Christmas Catholic Service has resulted in more COVID cases..........

The Senior Center and all it's functions has CLOSED for 14 days due to COVID outbreak

An independent Quartzsite Solar installer known for his Anti-Mask stance got COVID early in Dec......airlifted to California but No Beds....Airlifted back to Arizona.........Now in a Glendale hospital Fighting for his life with Double Pneumonia..........."It's Real"

Like they say.....There are No Atheists in Foxholes
 
The easier to catch Covid 19 is now for sure in Colorado in an individual that did not travel which tends to indicate there are more cases out there to be found. Even though this new variety they think is no more dangerous or deadly. If the original Covid 19 was deadly for you this will just make it easier for you to get Covid19 and die. Please be carful out there. I have noticed people mention once again there is a shortage of masks as many frontline workers are doubling up masks to try to get more protection I guess. Please avoid situations that can cause you to get sick.
 
I am having several Bowl Parties on New Years Day. I really know how to party in the desert!


Bowl of oatmeal to start the day, bowl of soup for lunch, bowl of  sir fry rice for dinner.
 
I was driving into Parker, Monday, on 62 and the CRIT have a big sign announcing a 10 pm to 5 am curfew. I was actually thinking about going in the Parker Walmart until I saw the sign. Nope, not me
 
Abnorm - do you know of a reliable source for coronavirus information in Quartzsite? I can't find anything official. Blythe has really good information with cases broken down so that you can see exactly what's going on - https://www.pvvt.com/blythe_news/bl...cle_35950420-491c-11eb-9660-bba823eafefd.html 

 I've noticed that most people in Quartzsite don't wear masks. It looks like an explosion of cases in the making especially with out-of-towners arriving and possibly bring the virus  from their home state. We're in Ajo now and want to go back to Quartzsite for the gathering in Scadden Wash but it's scary.
 
CRIT cancelled both of the off-road races scheduled for Jan 2021..........The Bluewater and the Desert Run.....citing COVID

^^^ and "Brian Boone" (solar) is out of the Glendale hospital.........home/RV recovering......

Ditto.

The rotten cherry on top is when the owner(s) laugh because "you're afraid of their precious pet".
 
Last year a man who wanted to pet the dog I was watching got a crotch sniff. He complained I did nothing anout it. I told him the truth that I did not noticce because I was looking at his face and was not looking at his crotch. I guess he was more offended that I was not staring at his crotch but instead keeping my eyes above his neck :)

He is the one who invited the dog over that close. What did he expect? Male dogs that are crotch height will always do what dogs naturally do. Was he embarassed that his crotch got sniffed right in front of a woman or angry that the woman did not notice?
 
My ChiWeenie like to sniff other dogs butts, and I have seen my dogs ever sniff a crotch. All 3 of my dogs are girls so there not really into leg humping.
 
Will someone tell me how do I find places to camp on the 14 day, BLM, land, the move, etc. Is there a map or who do I contract for this information. I'm looking all the western states,
(not Calf.) Az. N.M. Tx. Nv. And up that way. Thanks..

If you kneel down you’ll notice dogs sniff your scalp. It’s because the strongest smells on humans are the head, the groin and feet (that’s why dogs sniff shoes) In dogs the strongest smell is the uh, anal area then the mouth. Dogs can tell a lot about other dogs by sniffing those areas. They don’t know it’s impolite.

I agree it’s not ok at all for a dog to jump on someone or sniff them. My current mini Pit Bull is the worst I’ve ever had for it. No matter what I do she launches her 67 lb chunky little body only at men then hooks her claws into their belt loops and stays there swinging. If it’s inside I have to lock her in a room. If it’s outside I have to plant my body in a defensive stance and grip the leash with both hands. Yes, she took me to several hundred dollars worth of “training” and we failed.

As a result I probably seem unfriendly when people try and approach.
 
Where I live we may go a year to 2 without any snow, this year it has already snowed twice!!!! Both times we got around 1", I used to enjoy watching it snow, but anymore I just want to get away from it.
 
Oh man, lerca... thanks for the warning (I mean laugh)... haha. The mental picture is pretty funny! I respect people’s likes and dislikes... it is as a dog owner a bit embarrassing when your dog buries his/her head into someone’s crotch... Kira is getting better at stopping the second I say anything. I’m pretty much a dog person and giving them a good life and life experiences is important. It’s the not eating garbage and keeping them outta crotches that gets to be a hassle.
Anyways... my brief stay in Quartzite has me chopping at the bit to get back there. My friend thinks I’m going to stay here months in Yuma. Not... I’ll be back next week. Is there a farmers market in Quartzite? I may not come back til Wednesday so I can stock up here otherwise...
