Today I saw two ladies and a big hairy dog again that I saw for the first time the last time I went running.  You know what that means.  I have to name them.  I shall call them Desperate Housewives with Tall Shaggy.  I did my WalMart bypass loop because I wanted to do more than the pathetic 3 miles I've been running lately.  I averaged 9:11 for the first 5 miles, the I thought I saw the Housewives again, and I desperately tried to catch up.  Alas, it wasn't them.  It was two new ladies.  I already have a name picked out for them if I see them again.  I have to wait, though because that's the rules.

I think Twinkies needs to worry less about posing for the camera and worry more about his surroundings.

you were desperate to catch the desperate housewives?

Catch UP to them. I like ketchup.

You sure that wasn't a tall cat with the desperate housewives?

Motivation can really come from a lot of different things I guess.

That sounds better than seeing two dogs and a big hairy lady.

Great picture Burt. I am going print that out and hang it on the wall at work.

LOL!

to me it looks like the Cougar is looking for some love, and not dinner. Is it just me??

From Burt on Mon, Apr 19, 2010 at 13:06:23 from 206.19.214.144

He's got some serious swagger.

From Tara on Wed, Sep 14, 2011 at 18:37:33 from 75.169.153.162

THAT is the BEST!

From Burt on Wed, Sep 14, 2011 at 19:00:41 from 206.19.214.144

Oh Tara. Be careful commenting on my posts that contain pictures. I might have to "find" one of you ;)

From Tara on Wed, Sep 14, 2011 at 23:43:45 from 75.169.148.165

AGHHHHHHHHHH! LOL! Oh, the cougar. That is just so funny to me.

From Burt on Wed, Sep 14, 2011 at 23:56:13 from 72.223.91.148

It escaped off the BYU campus.

Funny stuff, Burt!
