Ya, then.

    Now we know whose ox was gored by last night's post about the importance of being clear about the delineation between 'lay' and 'lie'.  This email came today implying, above all things, that I'm un-Christian!  I resemble that insinuation..

"You forgot to include this paragraph in your Caring Bridge/blog tonight.  It is very important, even Christian, since it’s all about forgiveness!"

Ever been corrected—or corrected someone else—for saying "I'm going to lay down"? In either case, your dictionary forgives you. It's true that the correct way to make that statement is to say "I'm going to lie down," but it's also true that lay and lie have been tripping up English speakers for 700 years, and no one should be judged harshly for being among the confused. The pair is a doozy.

   Trygve is a happy dog. Now he has two humans to attend to him. He also has a fenced in back yard which was not available at my condo. Springers have thick fur and dogs like him, who have show springer blood, are particularly furred. Today he had a grooming, so he's a short haired dog for awhile. His groomer works out of her house so we put him in her yard and when she was finished released him back to the yard. We retrieved him and he's more energetic now because he's not so hot.

   Hoping you're all safe and secure as I am.

Takk for alt,

Al

Trygve, the wonder dog.
