I miss Rage. Rage was my first puppy dog. Rage was a puppy from Snickers (a chocolate male lab) and Jewel (a black female lab) and she was the runt. She was born on July 1, 2003 and I knew right away which one I wanted, she was the smallest one of the litter and…

A funny thing happened last night when I was throwing my dinner in the microwave. Blue was laying near the wall that separates our kitchen/dining room from the living room and as I turned around Blue and I locked eyes. Now, I am not dog psychologist, but I have always heard that you should never…

Of all things I was listening to BaD Radio during lunch yesterday and they had Coach Ortegal on and he actually said something somewhat profound. The key to success is being able to do the mundane and repetitive things with the same type of vigor and concentration level which you had the first time you…

Holy crap, I feel like the evil Satan who has spawned a number of new blogs. I do not believe that I invented the internet, nor do I fee like I invented blogging, but check out the number of new blogs recently started by my K-town krew: Chris H.’s and his wife’s blog. Ashley B.’s…

Duk is a very good friend (on the right) of mine and he has taken my writing assignment to heart. Below is his biography. It was posted in the comments, but I thought that it belonged on a much bigger stage. Good job. Born May 21, 1973, to the daugher of a farmer/carpenter and the…

I finally finished this book last night. It is a wonderful book on perspective. It is about a child who is autistic and his neighbor’s dog is murdered. The book follows this child as he tries to solve this murder. The point of view is solely from his perspective. Something like this can teach all…

Part of the resort. Pretty bird. The happy couple, self-portrait. No need to caption. See above.

Taken from the front steps of the resort. Boarding the plane after the “luggage” fiasco”. The beach outside the resort. Pretty birds. The newlyweds, a little red. I started thinking that there were no pictures from our honeymoon and that needed to be remedied. The honeymoon really started off with a bang. We wake up…

My dogs are evil geniuses. That’s right, they are plotting against both my wife and I. As you can see in the photo above they have randomly dug holes in the pathway leading up to the back door. I like to call these “ninja traps”. Next, the cleverly tried to cover these holes with the…

Blue doesn’t get a bath very often. She has incredibly thick fur that just doesn’t dry. In fact, if you don’t dry her with a blow dryer for a little bit she will be wet for up to two hours after her bath. Not to mention, if you don’t sit in the tub with her…
