So today marks two things. On this day, in 1912, the Titanic sank off
the coast of Newfoundland. Nova Scotia
played a roll in the recovery efforts and many of the poor victims were brought
to Halifax. Many are buried in three
different cemeteries in Halifax. A sad
day in history…There were dogs and cats and chickens on board. Three little tiny dogs survived – probably
because they could easily be carried on board the life rafts. Paxton says he is never going on a cruise– it
would be hard to smuggle him on a life raft…
And speaking of the Titanic, it seems some
rich guy was building a Titanic replica – that was supposed set to sail in
2016. He was going to provide a
simulated experience for the passengers – with period dress, meals and
accommodations. All except the sinking
part. Now this is where I really shake
my head at humans. I mean REALLY – would
YOU go on a Titanic cruise? I mean isn’t
that just a BIT spooky? Well from what I
have recently read, it looks like the idea has sunk – as the launch has
tentatively been moved to 2018. Go
figure.
The other big thing about today…our dog
sitter has arrived and our human has set off for Bison. Ooops. Buffalo. We looked all sad and pathetic when she
left. More guilt gifts. If we’re good.
I’m not sure if I’ll be writing much for
the next few days – but SOMETIMES my human does Skype with me – so I can send
something out. We’ll see.
Gotta go stare at the sitter. Time for some biscuits : )
