Downloaded the 70 (!) pictures that had piled up on my camera in the last week or two…

I see that in this batch I have topped 2000 pictures with this camera. Not bad. I still like it pretty well. I might upgrade at some point if something amazing came along, but aside from a few minor drawbacks, this camera is doing just fine for me.

You can call him Han, or Mr Solo.
He’s doing pretty well. His whining has pretty much gone down to just before meals when he’s wanting his dinner faster, and sometimes to go out.
He still occasionally screams when he is a klutz and runs into something, or someone startles him too much, but thats gone way down too.

A rotted log is such a wonderful toy!

Kurt has such a distinguished face these days.

Snow is yummy.

Hey, whats that in here? More snow you say?

Kurt and Han.

Nash enjoying some downtime after a hard day of playing in the snow.

I really liked the effect here… the shadows were keeping bars of snow from melting…

Spent much of today shoveling snow. I have to pick up the travel trailer from the shop, and so need a place to put it.
Snow moving is hard work. Hopefully I can get enough cleared to get the trailer in.

Just got a new foster pup tonight.

He’s 4 years old. Very very dark red brindle (yet another shade of brindle. I think I almost have them all covered
So far he’s kinda stressed, but sweet. He’s a return, his people were having medical issues and couldn’t care for him anymore…
I’m sure he will find a good home soon. Good looking, cat safe, gets along with other dogs nicely, etc.

Will post some pics later…

wow… I haven’t posted anything yet in 2007.

Not too much going on… busy work, cold snowy days.

Managed to bottle out Blackberry Vanilla mead the other day. It’s very yummy. I think it turned out great.
We still need to gather up bottles and bottle up the plain batch we did at the same time.

Sierra the foster girl left last week for her forever home. She’s heading out with a group of 30 pups being taken out to the coast.
I sure hope she has a good home, she was very sweet.

Looks like I will be heading out to Fudcon Boston in early feb.
Should be a good trip, I am looking forward to it, although I hate to leave the pups at home…

Now to catch up on pictures:

Ready to head out the door for a walk, Sierra, Merlin, Kurt, Nash.

I have started using Twylas old Soft Touch Harness on Nash.
It’s worked wonders. Before he was pulling up a storm, to the point were it was starting to hurt my hand.
With the harness he only very ocassionally pulls at all.

I got this $1.75 brush in the horse section at petsmart. It’s wonderfull… I reccomend them for any hound owners.
It pulls quite a bit off of Nash, but it’s worked great on the other hounds too.

This is what the outside of the door to the back yard looked like the other day.
Nice puppy print patterns.

Kurt’s looking pretty stylish in his coat.

Nash loves some snow zoomies.

Kurt and Merlin sharing a couch. Note that kurt has woken up and seen me get the camera, and is trying to decide if it’s
more scary to stay there while they flash goes off, or get up and potentially annoy merlin by removing his pillow.
