There are days when it seems to me like we&#8217;re running a canine hostel here. The rug is from my parents. They bought it for me in Santa Fe almost fifteen years ago now. It&#8217;s gotten around &#8212; New Mexico &#8211;&gt; Alaska &#8211;&gt; Ohio &#8211;&gt; Alaska. There&#8217;s a pad under it to make it cushy when you walk on it. Harry likes that. Our house is nicely decorated, thanks to Happy Wife. I&#8217;ve had almost no input in the decorating decisions around here. I&#8217;m not unhappy about that. If such things were left to me our house would be rather bland. The other day she came out of the crawl space with a souvenir I&#8217;d purchased about twenty years ago while on vacation in <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Rarotonga\" target=\"_blank\">Roratonga<\/a> (Cook Islands). I didn&#8217;t bring a lot of valuable stuff to our relationship; what there is of it is in the crawl space. So I like to joke anyway. In that way I think she felt sorry for me when she emerged from the hole in the floor, &#8220;Here,&#8221; she said, &#8220;maybe you&#8217;d like to put this somewhere?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone\" src=\"http:\/\/www.rknibbe.com\/blog\/images\/2015\/January\/fertilityGod.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"417\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">I didn&#8217;t want to offend her generosity of spirit, so I said, Okay, how about right there, on the ledge over the fireplace. It&#8217;s a small wood statue representing the god of fertility. Clearly, right? I mean if you can&#8217;t be fertile with that bugger what&#8217;s the point. Anyway, yes, over the fireplace will be fine, dear. Her face tightened, half dismay half pity, and then she wondered aloud if maybe I&#8217;d like put it some place less&#8230; you know, <em>conspicuous<\/em>, honey pie<em>?<\/em> No, I said, I think that will do just fine. And so there it stays, at least for the time being. Until I tire of it. No doubt I will, eventually. But I must say it matches the wood motif rather well, don&#8217;t you think?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If you&#8217;re tired of seeing us I remind you the Interweb is vast.
