George and the christmas decorations.
He was a bit confused when we started building a tree in the living room, and when we started bringing out the boxes of decorations, he figured it was best if he just stayed out of the way. He’s only tried to eat one of the Christmas balls so far, but I suspect he hasn’t … Continue reading “George and the christmas decorations.”

He’s only tried to eat one of the Christmas balls so far, but I suspect he hasn’t quite learned that lesson yet.
A theme away, A theme away,…
I upgraded to the latest wordpress and ended up with a completely trashed theme. This is just the standard “2011” theme. It will do until I can find something better. One of these days I’ll get around to doing my own. (note to self: Orion needs a project type for creating wordpress themes.)

Size comparison with Lucky
Too big to hold in your arms
Now he just lies on me. 🙂

A warm day and a warm puppy
Welcome, George.
Say hello to George… (Note: Clicking on the above photo will show you a larger version. The other photos in this post are just the small size.) So far, that’s the only close up I’ve been able to take of him where he wasn’t a) moving too fast for the camera to focus on, or … Continue reading “Welcome, George.”

So far, that’s the only close up I’ve been able to take of him where he wasn’t a) moving too fast for the camera to focus on, or b) impossible to see because of the “can’t photograph a black dog” problem. He’s named after the classic Loony Tunes “I will call him George” routine that appears (I believe) in several of the cartoons. Here’s one example.
We’ve had him for about 3 days now, and he seems to be settling in. There have been no issues between him and Lucky, our old dog, and there’s even some signs that they are going to be ok with each other…
He’s a purebred Black Labrador Retriever, with very strong parentage. He also already has the “sad puppy eyes” thing down perfectly…
We’re still in the phase where we have to get up once in the night to let him out, so Deb and I are both a bit sleep deprived right now, but that shouldn’t last too long — he says hopefully.
Spring!
So here I am, sitting at the Starbucks, having just ridden my bike over. First bike ride of the season! Ya, ok, I know I’m slow. Given the weather over the last few days it feels like everyone has been out biking already, but at least I made it. Now when it gets cold again, … Continue reading “Spring!”

In any case, even I couldn’t pass up a day this nice. It’s 25 celsius out there and it’s coming up on 19h00. Wow!
Now let’s just all hope that we aren’t seeing 20 degrees above normal temps in July and August too.
