Can you find the cat in this picture?

Dear Lexi

Is it the AC vent? Are you practicing those facial expressions in the mirror? Does it feel like a cave? Is it even worth trying to guess at what goes on in your head?


What is this about?

Lexi has boundary issues.

All of these were taken with my photo booth, meaning they are pictures of the area between my laptop screen and myself.

Five Reasons

I love my dogs

1. Lexi has become the master incher. She slithers along the floor until she gets where she wants to go. I realize some of us may not approve, but it's damned cute.

2. Chloe is the dog that we got two Christmases ago, and I admit to many instances of "oh no, what have I done." She has turned into a real sweetie, though, and is now one of my favorite four dogs in the world. She gives the best kisses.

3. Both puppies have developed the charming (ok, funny) habit of getting all worked up when you are petting the other one. Chloe, in particular, gets all prancy even when you walk by her. It's nice to have you affection craved so much.

4. Because each Christmas is beth is another reason I feel lucky to have such a special dog. There is truly no other dog like beth (which if you've met her you know) and I love her to bits. One day I will be lost without her, but I try not to think about that to much.

5. Shea has a fuzzy head.

I think she's flying inner dreams

Halloween!

Todd and I are not dressing up for halloween, but we couldn't hold the dogs back!

Lexi, of course, is going as a dalmation.



Chloe is going as a beagle.


Shea as a St. Bernard


And beth insists that she is dressed up as a dog for Halloween, there's no use in trying to explain it to her.
