With the girls out of town, Pippin and I have been able to take really long walks in the evening. Most have been uneventful but enjoyable. But you never know when you’re going to get blindsided. Last evening, I learned the hard way that you can never let down your guard.
Pippin and I were returning [...]

Surviving a dog attack
Insane for the membrane
Terriers like to chew. And chew.
They’ll stop to drink and pee. Then they’ll chew some more.
At least that’s Pippin’s M.O. He likes, nay he loves the Moo Stick. Either Susan or I end up holding it as he whiles the time away. At night, he can go for hours until he tires himself out and [...]
Triple threat from the dog
Pippin goes 3-for-3 today:
Pees in his CRATE in the early AM
Spits up in his CRATE in the afternoon
Craps on the kitchen floor in the PM
Good thing he’s cute.
No Pippin, no cry
He’s going to hate us tomorrow.
We took Pip to be fixed and chipped Thursday.
Excuse me for a sec while I grimace.
Susan got the call mid-morning that everything went well, except that they had to make another incision because one of his testicles had not descended.
Excuse me while I cross my legs.
Despite the fact that he [...]
Shave and a haircut
Whoa doggy!
Tuesday was groomin’ day for the Pipster. He hasn’t been shorn since we picked him up and he had really gotten fluffy to go along with his cute.
But it was time. We took him to Greensboro Day Spa to be trimmed by Meg Wood on a recommendation from the kennel we bought him from. [...]
Merry and Pippin
One of the wonderful things about the weekend is that we can walk Pippin until he drops. I must have walked him 4 to 5 miles on Sunday while Susan and the girls probably chipped in 1 or 2, too.
During an evening walk with Pippin, he and I met an older couple walking a miniature [...]
Weekend update
Friday night: The family went out to enjoy dinner at Bert’s Seafood.
Saturday: A family tradition we’re trying to keep going is to attend the semifinals of the ACC Women’s Basketball Tournament at the coliseum. Susan and I like the basketball. The girls like the food. Make that Camille is mostly interested in the food. Unfortunately, [...]
Sax machine
Camille on a very amorous Pippin: “Mommy! Pippin’s trying to have sax with me!”
You’ll be happy to know he hasn’t hit the right note yet. With anyone in the house.
Bits and pieces
Our dog. How do I say it?
I guess it’s just best to get it out: The dog is weird. Cute, but weird.
One of the more unusual and disturbing things to see him do is to see him sleep. He likes to sleep on his back. When I snapped this picture, I thought he’d grow out [...]
Cousin Jed and cousin Ruby
I’m terrible with names. I recognize faces all the time. Sometimes, even when there isn’t a reason to. But names? It’s probably a character flaw.
Jed and Ruby are what I’m using to describe the cute cousins to Pippin who live around the block from us. Abby and I went on a walk Sunday and stopped [...]
Policing the dog
Pippin is a different dog when he takes a walk with the girls. He’s actually excited. When it’s just me or just Susan and especially at night, it’s nearly impossible to get him to go more than a few houses down the block. But get the girls involved, and he’s chompin’ at the bit to [...]
Too good to save
I thought about holding on to this for Pic of the Week next week, but what the heck. It’s too good to wait.
