In the "About Me" part of this blog it used to say I live with two dogs. I just noticed that today and corrected it to say one dog. This is because one of them disappeared about seven months ago.
I have no idea what may have happened. I made the mistake of letting them out to run around free late at night for a little while and one night she never came back. She is, or was, an Australian Cattle Dog, a very loyal breed. I nursed her through Parvo when she was a pup and she almost died.
Needless to say, I miss her.

Changed Spelling
I've been wondering recently when the spelling of the word organization got changed to organisation?
According to the dictionary, and my almost faultless spelling ability, it is organization. But recently I have found it spelled organisation everywhere I see it. I thought maybe it was the British way of spelling it but I checked and found that Americans are misspelling it, too.
It can't be typos because it is too pervasive and consistent, and is found in documents that should have been spell-checked.
