My Three Children

Here is my favorite picture of January. Havoc, Sawyer, and Duke hanging out on the floor. Couldn’t miss this photo op!

 

 

Camp K

We took some video last year of the NWSDA race at Camp K. Jessica had a few hours this morning and I walked her through video editing. She took all of the video reduced it to less than two minutes. As she learned, most of the video recorded is crap and can be deleted.

Puppy Love

Havoc is getting bigger by the day! She will be 4 months old on Tuesday and is reaching 40lbs

Since John is gone, he asked me to take pictures of everything and since some of them are pretty cute, I thought I’d share.

This is not the same country

For starters I’m not freezing to death. On average, its been about 20 degrees warmer throughout the entire day. Last time I was here we endured temps that hovered in the high teens and low twenties but now the nighttime low is in the 40s. This is simply too odd. I’ve got a bunch [...]

Leaving home

It’s that time once again. I’m set to get on a plane and travel half way across the planet away from everyone that I know and love.

I’m headed to Iraq for another 4 month stint in what should be a relatively easy trip. I’ve got my bags packed and this time my [...]

No problems yet

Jessica’s Christmas present, a little Chesapeake Bay Retriever named Havoc, is sitting at my feet chewing on a dog bone. All of the dogs have been outside to go to the bathroom and the little one has been outside and gone twice (luckily I was watching her like a hawk and caught her before [...]

The process is a little different this year

For the last two years I’ve traveled north with the Loveless clan to spend the Thanksgiving weekend in cold and occasionally snowy B.C. We ran dogs, played pool, board games, and ate as much of Paula’s food as we could cram down our gullets.

This year we’re spending Thanksgiving at our home but [...]

Carl Needs a Home

We went out to lunch today and when we came home I found a new face in our driveway. It was a Border Collie mix who was hanging out with our dogs by the fence. I quickly closed the gate and attempted to grab him. He was reluctant to be caught but after about [...]

Dogcatraz returns

We were out of town for Leanne’s birthday when we got the call. Hello, we have your dogs.

We headed back to Lakewood and picked them up from the wonderful people that had wrangled them. They had crossed a major road but were no worse for the wear. We got back to the [...]

Dumb dog

Dogs have an ability to know when you can’t afford to take them to the vet clinic. Yesterday, after much debate, Jessica and I decided to replace our grill with a propane/charcoal/smoker combo. While I was putting it together the dogs were running free in the yard. Jessica was in the yard playing hide [...]
