Sometimes Your Dog Needs to Be with Other Dogs...

Daisy had her first "doggie daycare" session a few weeks back.

Did I spend the whole day checking in on the live webcam? Hell yes. Twenty dogs running around a large open room = hilarious.

It's good for her because:

A) we're going to be boarding her there, so I want her to have a positive association with the place

B) she doesn't really get to spend much time around other dogs during her normal day

We even got a report card at the end of the day.


She spent the rest of the weekend like this:


(I think she liked it.)

Judy Can Feel Daddy's Scratch Face...

Pauses...

Gives my chin a rub...

Pauses again...

Then starts rubbing his own face.


(He thinks he's hilarious.)

At a Stop Light This Morning


Lady with the puffball on a leash: Hey, is that a Fit?

Me: Yup.

Lady with the puffball on a leash: How do you like it?

Me: I absolutely love it.

Lady with the puffball on a leash: I'm thinking about getting one.

Me: Go for it.

Lady with the puffball on a leash: (pumps fist in air)



She was probably in her 60s. That made the fist pumping that much funnier for me.

Ups and Downs... Strikes and Gutters...

We've been working on the alphabet with Little Man. He usually can do one letter at a time if you point to him at the right moment.

Wife: "Q... R... S... T... U..."

(Wife points to Little Man)

Little Man: "VEEEEEEEEEEEEE!"

Well, last night, Little Man got through "Q R S T U V" all by himself.

It came out as "QRS... TUV.." but it was still pretty exciting.

Then he stuck his finger up his nose.

That's my boy.

Blueberries

They're finally turning blue.

A little sun helps with the ripening.

Can't wait for blueberry pancakes.
