Happy Friday

Happy Friday everyone! Andy is in Boston for work so I am here taking care of cats and dogs. This is Kirby last weekend on his first trip to the river. He took one look at the dock and thought, "I could jump off of that!" He is a water lover. Lexi looked on as Kirby and mom's shepherd Kahu played in the water. Lexi knows a dip in the river means a real bath and blow drying. Anyway, suffice to say he's coming out of his shell. Where a couple weeks ago every single sound scared the bejeezus out of him, now he just wonders, "What's that?!"

I'm just wondering if Andy's flight home tomorrow will be canceled or delayed with the flood of maintenance checks these last few days.

Happy St. Patrick's Day!

Last night I made a Romasco favorite for dinner - stuffed cabbage rolls. Can you guess where I'm going with this? Tonight's dinner will be corned beef and cabbage of course. That's right, it's St. Patrick's day. I hope you're all wearin' a bit 'o the green so you don't get pinched while you're out and about. Tonight we will a raise a glass to you all. I hope you all will have a happy (and safe) St. Pat's day.

Welcome to the Family

Well, you knew it was just a matter of time before Andy and I would need to add to the family. Some people might have been betting on small human, they obviously haven't met Lexi. Meet Kirby (the name's 4 hours old so we'll see how it sticks). Kirby is a Kerry Blue Terrier. They are believed to be derived from Soft Coated Wheaten Terriers (Lexi-types). Kirby was rescued from a puppy mill in Pennsylvania. He spent the first 6 months of his life there. Today we went to Philadelphia to bring him home. So far he's getting along with all the creatures in the house.
