Hey Gene,
You made me smile; I'm afraid I have created monsters with my
non-housebroken dogs. I am redoubling my efforts but they are 6-7 years-old
now. And Chihuahuas seem especially stubborn or stupid--not sure which. I
don't think I'd choose that breed again, but I lived in an apartment 6-8
years ago, and have always enjoyed dogs.
I'm afriad my companion and I didn't do a good job when they were
puppies--we traveled so much on business. Now that we have a yard again
you'd think I could get them to figure it all out.
Do you grow any cacti? I'm not especially addicted to Opuntia (at least not
addicted to Opuntia only), but I did get enamored with that group as a
learning experience. I was curious about why the taxonomy is such a mess in
that genus, and I do enjoy desert plants and drought-adapted plants, and I
was traveling to the West at that time so I could study them. I'm trying to
reinvent myself so I'll have a productive project in retirement (I'm mid-50s
and in no danger of retiring soon). I'd like to write about biology and
plants, and perhaps make a bit of money doing it. We'll see; everyone wants
to be a writer. I guess it likes acting.
Cordially,
Joe Shaw
