Where is this coming from? And doggie update

I am so glad that my our friends are following our "journey", but a girl has to wonder ... what the hell is UP with these 'stats'?!  In the last month, I seem to have had the following viewers :

Pageviews by Countries

Since I started this blog, the stats are:

Really?  I mean, lots of US, CA & CR, which is to be expected, but  the rest of them ... WTF?????  Do they somehow think they have wandered onto a porn site or what?  I have a friend in Japan, OK!  Some in the UK ...  OK, Italy ... maybe, it's a gaming thing, but the others?  Pakistan?  Nigeria?  Russia?  Indonesia?  Really?  How do they get here ... are they really here ... I don't know enough about this "blog thingie" to know.  Anybody got a clue?

The Dog

The puppy is doing well.  Eat, shit, sleep!  Pretty much like any 4 month old baby!  Or, perhaps like all of us who don't work outside the home anymore!  We still haven't settled on a name, but that is forthcoming ... Thanks for your feedback!  Stay tuned.

Spent yet another bunch of $$ today for:  a) leash;  b) a squeaky ball;  c) a brush ("easy clean") and best of all ... an aerosol  bottle of "Frontline" for around $30 ... now, compare that with the single dose @ $15!  Don't know exactly why this product is clearly labeled " NOT REGISTERED FOR USE IN THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA", but it is.

Is this a typical product of our "nanny state", where some many most people can't read, therefore can't follow instructions on packaging, or just another symptom of our (US) kowtowing to big Pharma or what?  Six pumps of the bottle every TWO months ... three on the neck, three on the belly ... duh?!?!?!  Just sayin'.

Rambling and ranting , past my bedtime ... Tenga Paz

  1. I would not spray it on his belly. You should spray that kind of thing where they can't like it off: the back of the neck and the base of the tail.

  2. Greetings,

    WOW are you lucky livin the dream I see. Congrats... Pakistan is most likely spam. On my blog, and I use Wordpress I also get the stats. I have about 39,500 regular followers per month. Then I will get these strays and they are usually always from Pakistan. If you look under spam see if that country is there.

  3. Wayne here (you know... from Seaside). On this page view thing... here's my take. Nigerians, for instance, are very computer savvy (but not in a good way). They can use web crawlers and certain words that appear in your blog entries can be found by these crawlers. So in effect, these foreigners are necessarily stumbling upon your blog. They found it by random searches. Why? A possibility of scamming down the road. A possibility of using your words to rob you of your identity. Perhaps some of these page hits are legitimate but my guess is that many of them are not. We're tracked all the time online and not just by the search engines trying to sell us stuff by showing us ads tailored to our interests (i.e. Google). About all I can say is... proceed with a healthy dose of caution. And best wishes to you both (and the cats and the newly adopted pooch). :-)
