ok, people, just how much rain can we get?? i'm really ready to get out there and do some serious gardening and we have nothing but rain, showers, sprinkles, storms and gully-washers. i'm all inspired from my trip to see brotherman out east and i'm stuck inside.

DC is amazing. i could spend a day in each museum, and we had only 2 days. i think we covered it all, with the parents in tow. my favorite was the Lincoln Memorial. bro got some great pics - maybe someday i'll learn how to post those as well.

pup did well with m while i was gone. she's a little off her food, but that may be because of all the extra treats she was getting! he does love her, and loves to spoil her. she's still dry, has great energy and the walks are jogged the whole way. what a difference a year makes.

a friend recently lost her pup. 14 years of a great life he had, and they decided it was time to let him go. i'll send a card - such loss is so heartbreaking, and knowing friends are there to support you is so important. i hope every day to give my sweet girl the best life she can have, and i'm so glad she's getting better. her Addison's makes me thankful for every day, and with each shot i think, "one more healthy month for her".

love your fuzzy-faced babes, give them extra attention and be thankful for the love they give you!
