Home at last

While I waited for him to get home,  I got the back yard beaten back into shape and celebrated my birthday, to that end, I am now officially cooler than you are.

Unless you are an actual biker, then you rule. But otherwise? Winter? Bring It.

Dog

Poor Rocket!

He started off the day nearly drowning in the lake and then followed that up my almost strangling himself with his tie down!

No wonder he barks in his sleep, poor dawg.

On vacation

Catdog

I think the dog might be part cat! He slept all day in the car on Saturday, rousing himself occassionally for walks around rest stops.

Then it was back to sleep.

We got to our hotel and after a walk and dinner, he was back to sleep again and stayed that way all night.

Sunday he repeated this. He has slept about 20 hours a day for the past two days and seems none the worst for it.

Just like a cat. I should have named him Kitty.
