@Sahirrnee just above … If the new dog is a female and you really insist on something punny about wrinkly dogs, may I humbly suggest Sultana.
That is a somewhat exotic term for a golden-colored raisin made from light-colored grapes. AIUI, the term is rather more common in UK / commonwealth English than in US English. But it is valid 'Murrican too. Really. And in its other definition, it’s a reference to royalty, with all that implies about regal manner & reserved demeanor. And self-designated importance around your house.
If the dog is male you could name it Sultan and see if anyone is smart enough to get the joke about a Male Sultana.
Or, since dogs have no idea about gendered naming conventions in English, even if it’s male name it Sultana and see how many people give you grief for mis-gendering you dog. At which point you can edumacate them about golden raisins. Delivered with a withering glance down your nose and a very haugthy delivery.
@Wheelz: Damn, that bed is coming together smartly. Looks like quality workmanship and a quality kit. Should give many years of good service.
@Johnny_L.A: great greenhouse. I too once had built a bed kinda like that which was an abject failure at drainage. Might be worth a test before SWMBO fills the house with plants that she doesn’t want to move again.
As to me:
Turns out this morning that I’d snuck out of the house so successfully she was surprised when she awoke at her normal late morning time & I was gone. Of course before I left home I’d sent her a text which arrived during her phone’s quiet hours, so the mystery of my absence didn’t last long. We’ve done this a time or three.
Made it home nominally, then after a suitable re-union we walked to the Spanish tapas place for light dinner and a glass of Crianza for me, Sangria for Her Ladyship.
The weather for later tonight here is shaping up similarly to last night. So tomorrow may be an instant replay of today. I’ll be going to bed a bit earlier to try to get ahead of it.
Cheers all! And extra special {{hugs}} to the afflicted.
