Lucy: Dog Park 2

2009-11-04T23:52:50Z

Lucy's second trip to the dog park was, perhaps, even more fun than the first.

Lucy's First Bath

2009-10-24T02:57:17Z

Lucy's first bath was a revelation. (For the first ten days, we couldn't bathe her because of her stitches. So filthy was she!) She's a couple shades lighter than we thought and oh so very soft. As much as she hated the actual bath, she loved being toweled off (best new game ever, apparently) and ran around like a happy maniac for an hour or so afterward.

Lucy takes a long walk.

Lucy and I romped around the Carl Sandburg National Forest site a bit today. I can't wait until she's been on antibiotics long enough to visit a dog park without being Typhoid Mary. (Kennel Cough Lucy?)

Introducing Lucy

2009-10-14T21:58:03Z

I found Lucy in a rural North Carolina shelter. Today was supposed to be the day she was euthanized, but was instead her first full day home. While she is very much a puppy, she has a remarkably sweet disposition and is a cuddly lovebug. Yes, getting a dog has transformed me into the silly type who says things like "cuddly lovebug."

Many thanks to my father, tonight's guest photographer.

TFKE: Pacific Coast Highway

2009-08-18T19:47:16Z

Diane and I left Salinas in the morning and took the Pacific Coast highway to Morro Bay on our way to Los Angeles. Thankfully we allowed ourselves lots of time since we kept pulling over to drool at the landscapes (and, I suppose, seascapes) every five minutes or so. It's a wonder we even made it to Los Angeles that day. Diane and I are on the lookout for any foolproof get-rich-quick schemes or lonely, egregiously wealthy men who don't believe in prenuptials. Help us with either and you'll always be welcome at our sprawling Big Sur estate.

TFKE: Elephant Seals of Big Sur

You can read more about them and the Piedras Blancas beach here. Diane and I wanted to run down to the beach to hug and squeeze them (and, of course, call them George). The docents wouldn't let us, though, claiming that we'd likely be killed. I remain quite certain they would've sensed the love in our hearts and cuddled happily with us.

TFKE: Wine Country

Diane, Scream & I traveled around the Willamette Valley visiting wineries. Fun was had by all, though Scream overdid it a bit. I'm cheating by posting today when I'm still days and days behind. I'll catch up soon, though. (Or at least sincerely intend to...)
