"If the world were merely seductive, that would be easy. If it were merely challenging, that would be no problem. But I arise in the morning torn between a desire to improve the world and a desire to enjoy the world. This makes it hard to plan the day." -E.B. White

A week/end digest:

  1. I bought these plates specifically for pie and cake. Here, pie.
  2. Later in the week, cake. Clearly a sensible purchase for my life.
  3. Albuquerque looking dreamy in the morning haze.
  4. Post walk, the whippets get boisterous about couch space.
  5. Citizenship!
  6. Bentley, you strange and delightful dog.

In case any doubt remains that Watsy and I were meant for each other, here is a picture of Watson staring off into space while the lithe, athletic dogs wear themselves out tugging over some toy. Good thinking, little one. Let’s go get a snack.

HEY, YOUR PLACE IS LIKE, REALLY NICE, WATSON.

I KNOW, RIGHT? IT IS AN EVOLVING SPACE BUT I LIKE WHERE IT IS RIGHT NOW.

Uh, puppies? I sleep here, too. I hate to be a bother, but if you could all maybe consider the dog bed? The couches? Or maybe the rug? I’ve got some private room under the bed?

NO, NO, THIS IS GOOD. HERE. LAY DOWN AND WE WILL SLEEP ON TOP OF YOU, OKAY?

Okay, puppies. Okay.

Kelli and I spent a joyful afternoon at the dog park with this herd of good looking puppies. Look at their faces! Can you believe these faces?  Bentley and Lorelei are visiting for a few days; Watson and Max are very pleased with their new friends.
