Funny little thing called love bloggini

I am a little late getting this to y'all. . .not too late, it just happened yesterday afternoon, but I didn't have a whole lotta time to write about it.

I live kinda out in the woods a bit. There are other houses close, but there is a heavily wooded area in our back yard. That being said, we tend to attract some wildlife, i.e. skunk, raccoon, woodpeckers, coyotes, and TONS of deer.

Isabell (Izzy) my little beagle LOVES the deer. There have been many of time that she has gotten loose and had gone exploring in the woods on the scent of some deer. There was one time that I found her across the cul-de-sac sitting in the neighbors yard staring at a buck about 10 feet away from her staring back.

It's interesting the way animals communicate and hang out.

Well, I get home yesterday and walk around back instead of walking up the hill to get in. Iz is on her run around hanging out in the nice weather. I said hi to her like I always do in a little puppy voice and she didn't run to me, automatically, like she usually does. I was wondering what was going on and look up to see a deer just standing in the yard staring at my every move. I figured the thing would just run off as soon as I took a step but it didn't, it just stared. I didn't make eye contact at all with it and made it inside to watch.

Izzy was just running around like a neurotic little dog and that for sure, I thought, was going to scare that thing to death, but nope! It stood there watching her like "what the hell is your deal, weirdo." and ate some dandelions . I took a few pictures and tried to get some video to show you, but of course my little camera didn't last long.

Here is just a little bit for you.







p.s. turn your sound off. . .it's not relevant, I sound ridiculous. . .just talking.

Mini-Blog. . . I shall call it a Blogini My Coney Bloggini

As you know I have made it to Michigan to visit my wonderful lady of a Great-Grandmother! I have spent most of the day with her in the rehabilitation center that she is staying in while she gets better. This place is good to her. Anyway, I have managed to get Internet here and my 86 year old GG is watching Jerry Springer and now Maury. She cracks me up! She is the funniest lady I know and everyone loves her!

Now to get to the point of this Bloggini. . . . .I left for lunch and decided I really wanted a Coney Dog. . .a TRUE coney dog and I thought if I went to a place that advertised having real coneys, they would serve a real deal Holyfield coney dog.


FACT:

Coney Island hot dog (also Coney dog, or Coney) refers to two different kinds of hot dogs.

In some areas, it is a hot dog made from beef with casing, topped with an all meat chili, diced yellow onion and yellow mustard. This type of dog was primarily developed in Michigan, and served there and in the "heartland" states; that is, the non-coastal states of the U.S.

In other areas, most notably central and western New York, a Coney is a white hot dog, a stronger and more spicy variety of the traditional pork hot dog. These are sometimes also referred to as "white hots." Coney dogs of this variety are usually served bare or with mustard. [1]

Well. . .I ordered two from this restaurant called Senates Coney Island Restaurant http://www.georgessenateandconeyislandrestaurant.com/ . . . I should have visited their site first and then would have probably reconsidered.

So, I see the menu and that I can get a coney for $1.90 I said "I'll take 2". This is what I got. . . . I not only looks, but it was delicious! HOWEVER!!! It is a coney impostor!!!!!! They did not have the one thing that I would attribute to a coney dog and that is the all natural casing that is suppose to come around it. So disappointed, but that will not stop me from trying the next place ;)
