Elegy

We all remember when Jenny found Tommy on Christmas morning, a tiny little adorable puppy. He would scratch your feet when you walked in the room until you picked him up and said hello. He would stand by the pantry and ask for treats and loved to chew on bones. Tommy will be missed by everyone, but especially his brother Chucky and his master Jenny.

Rest in Peace sweet Puppy - you were our Alpha dog. May you always have all the bones to chew and squirrels to chase and treats to eat that you ever dreamed of.

Frozen

It snowed, which was fun. Then it snowed some more. Then it got cold. And colder. And even colder. Tonight, its supposed to get down to something like minus five degrees Farenheit! I don't know if I have ever in my life been in temperatures that cold. No seriously.



I guess we are having the same weather as SIBERIA. Um, yeah...



So we have been doing a whole lot of staying inside and snuggling the past few days. Because when we go outside we fall and seriously bruise our tail bones because the sidewalks are covered in ice...

The Chumpster

AKA: Churito Burrito, The Buddy, El Comandante, The Burrito, and Che.  He tries to make you think he is a big bad watchdog, but really he's afraid of everything.  He flew all the way from Seattle to Berlin, spending the night in New Jersey on the way. 

When he was one and half we found him on death row in Arizona and there was no way we were leaving without him.  He wouldn't come out from under the couch when he came home for a whole day, but I finally coaxed him to his food bowl.  He like spicy food, bananas, snuggling in lots of blankets and speaks fluent spanish.  He was abused before we found him, and doesn't trust people until he has met them 4 or 5 times...but once he knows you he likes to sit on your lap and give you hugs around your neck.


I think he is the best dog in the world.
