Twilight Zone as well, but they play them on TV between midnight and 3:am so I rarely get to see them anymore.<br />I fell asleep under the bathroom sink once while playing hide-and-seek, but that's as close I've ever come to sleeping in a bathtub;-)<br />Thanks for coming by, Arlee!diedre Knighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12772557495518846226noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3782231935569058555.post-35079528282447418962016-04-10T19:17:28.647-06:002016-04-10T19:17:28.647-06:00I've seen The Birds many times--Hitchcock is o...I've seen <i>The Birds</i> many times--Hitchcock is one of my favorite directors so I try to catch his films whenever they're on TV. Never had more than one pet that I can remember unless you count pets that had litters and when that happened I gave the babies away as soon as I could. <br /><br />Have not kept a pet in a bathtub. I think I slept in a bathtub once though, but not quite sure about that.<br /><br />Arlee Bird<br />A to Z Challenge Co-host<br /><a href="http://tossingitout.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow">Tossing It Out</a>Arlee Birdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11663942782929929334noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3782231935569058555.post-58531942219804106972016-04-10T14:55:35.983-06:002016-04-10T14:55:35.983-06:00Hi there, Quanie!

(Some say all of Washington has become a zoo :) Benjamin Harrison might not have been a warm and fuzzy kind of guy, but his dog's loyal companionship, regardless, illustrates why so many of us adore canines. <br /><br />I remember Audrey Hepburn's cherished fawn. Mrs. Shady and I visited the Hemingway Museum in Key West a few years ago. Whenever I watch Hitchcock films I keep my eyes peeled for his cameo appearances. I remember him emerging from the pet store with his dogs in The Birds.<br /><br />Have a fine weekend, dear friend Diedre!Shady Del Knighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03839935472941264414noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3782231935569058555.post-66855361344742431902016-04-09T04:27:54.563-06:002016-04-09T04:27:54.563-06:00I've never really had many pets.
