getting the blog back together
by nirik on Jan.01, 2010, under site
Sheesh… it’s been not quite 2 years since I last posted here. 
I’ve migrated my old wordpress blog over to this new shiny wordpress-mu one.
I expect you will see pictures of dogs and other around the house items and some random musings here at some point.
My new phone can post here directly, so hopefully that will prompt me to take pictures with it and post them here.
Happy new year everyone.
This world is cracked…

Picture from yesterday:
walking a leash of greyhounds
by nirik on Jan.08, 2008, under dogs, photos
Did you know the collective name for a group of greyhounds is a “leash” ?
Well, up until this last saturday, I was walking 5 of them every day. Of the 5, 3 of them were as easy as can be… Kurt (10.5yr old), Merlin (9.5yr old) and (until saturday) Prince the foster (6.5).
Of the other two, Legs the greyhound means well, but often gets in the way or doesn’t realize where a leash is and gets tangled. He’s nothing next to the last hound however: Nash (1.5yr old) the puppy. He loves the snow. Jumping and making little Nash snow angels. Still, despite that, it’s sure fun to get out and walk them out on the walk.
All the pups on a walk.
As you may gather, Prince the foster dog got adopted this saturday! Congrats Prince. I hope he’s having a good time in his new home.
Just in time for us to be heading out to fudcon this weekend.
Sometimes after walks, the leashes get a bit tangled. 
x-mas fun

This holday season has been pretty nice… we decided to just stay home and relax.
It’s been nice to just have Wendy and I and the dogs around. We’ve both played a ton of Oblivion on the ps3.
I got a nice new camera: a Fuji f50fd. So far I really like it. The image stablization works pretty well, and it takes pretty nice pics.
I am still trying to decide what I want to do about organizing my photos, but as an test I setup a gallery2 site for the new camera pictures…
Follow any of the links on the pictures below to go to the gallery site.
Here’s a few pics from the last few days of playing:
Legs seems to be pretty happy living here.
Wendy does too.
Kurt is doing pretty darn well all things considered.
He was diagnosed with Lymphoma not long back and has been going thru some chemo, but it’s all been going very smoothly.
Some folks came and met Prince today. They are going to look at 2 other dogs before they decide…
he seemed to get along well with them…Hopefully he will get adopted soon.

Sorry for the long delay and lack of posting.
Life is nice and busy… some great things, and some not so great.
Here’s some pictures for now:

Legs and Nash really get along well together.

opening day of faire – 2007
by nirik on Aug.08, 2007, under dogs, faire, photos
Here’s some june pictures. June marks the opening of the Colorado Ren Faire.
As usual I spent a lot of time down there…
Nash had a blast down there. He loved the attention, and as you can see he learned how to relax too.
As usual, my friend T had lap dogs.
Merlin looking regal as always.
Kurt even came up to the front a few times.

My friend K at his reception. Cake and booze in the background.
This party was so happenin that the next door neighbor dog wanted in on it.
Cake cutting (with katana).

I am really enjoying the trailer. I need to try and get it out more…

I was planning on doing a number of picture posts, but got sidetracked.
Nash had the side of his face puff up again. This time he went in for x-rays and surgery. They pulled a ton of blood and puss out of there. The x-rays looked fine, no sign of cancer or a foriegn object. The Dr did say he saw a slightly diffrently colored area on the back on his throat. It might have been something that jabbed him and then came out the same way.
He looks pretty gruesome right now, although better than he did yesterday. He’s on a ton of antibiotics and I get to rince out his wound 3x a day.
Hopefully if I can find net access down in durango, I should be able to catch up on photo posts. (Heading down there for a family vacation tomorrow).
