I second that. Now that most Downers are on Facebook, the assigned to Mordor/the Shire threads have been neglected. It makes me sad - even though I admit I've done little to remedy the situation.

I assign this adorable little wolf cub, who's keeping me from virtual wolvery these days:

House-training him, on the other hand, goes to Orthanc. (And no, Mith, he's not available for chinese cooking!

)

Oh Pitchwife, I am not so bad!!! I may be mainly a cat person but I do like nice dogs.. in fact I am thinking of getting one when I have settled somewhere.

This is the breed of dog we traditionally keep in my family but they are not cat compatible so it may have to be something else....

Long weekends!

Mith&Pitch: both of the pups are adorable!

They are very strong willed... "head of a lamb, heart of a lion"

Anyhow I assign spring flowers emerging, going somewhere you have always wanted to visit, and finding something you thought was lost (even though it was where it should be and where you had already looked, leading you to think you were losing your marbles).

When you can't think of anything at all to assign to the "Mordor" thread...

Or when RL doesn't provide you with anything such!

Galadriel that is very wise. My mother used to say one should be grateful for every uneventful day and when I was young I thought a dull life was a strange thing to show gratitude for, then when life started getting eventful in a bad way I realised how right she was. Like that Chinese curse "May you live in interesting times".

And while I am here I will assign that blessed combination of black coffee and a really good farm shop bacon sandwich. I may have to have a second breakfast...
