Three Day Weekend


So today is Martin Luther King, JR day, and it is also the day that the President is sworn in publicly. I know there are a lot of differing opinions out there on many politically sensitive topics, and I do not intend to share mine with anyone. I just want to say how proud of my country I am, and I want to work to make sure we continue to be strong. What I find frustrating about social media (Facebook, etc) is the volume of crap people post on subjects that are emotionally charged. Here's a news flash - I have an opinion, and it is different than yours. At age 45, I am unlikely to change mine, so stop trying. Please feel free to continue posting pictures of your favorite foods, pets and nature hikes. I actually do enjoy that aspect of social media. That's all on this topic!

Now, on to the obligatory pictures of the new dog - Wilson. He has adjusted to our home very well and provides hours of entertainment through his zany antics. One thing he has surprised us with is his ability to jump in the air like a pogo-stick. There is no way a little 16 pound dog should be able to get that high in the air, but he does. I would say his favorite activities so far include sleeping and eating - so in that respect he isn't much different than Danny.

We have discovered that feeding him the amount of food suggested on the bag will result in a fat a$$ dog in pretty short order, so I am now being more careful about the amount I give him. He needed to gain a little weight when he came home from the humane society and is now much healthier. Need we need to keep him that way.

Air Wilson!

One of his favorite activities.

You looking at me?!?
