New fence

OK, to be brief - original picket cedar fence built in 1920s. Rotten post. The yard was overgrown. Marc did 100% of the work - he coordinated to have things clear-cut, then a contractor to put in the new fence. It looks great! Enjoy the pics!

Inactive blog...

OK, Hi to all out there who have been regular readers of our blog! Sorry for the delay. Feb 3rd was the last posting, so I guess that it has been 5 weeks or so. So much for the weekly postings! Well, so much has been going on and so much to report. First of all, our chunky dachshund lost all his weight - he started out at 22.5 lbs and now he's at around 16 or so. Yeah carrots - I gave him carrot sticks versus Beggin' Strips as treats. He's much livelier and happy! Marc thinks he wags more. Probably so! We had my sister Jane come to visit. Marc and I took our own trip to Palm Springs. We enjoyed the sun. We also had the fence rebuilt - it looks amazing. All of these things will eventually appear - with pics. Oh, and another good thing happened - I lost my computer on the bus. Fortunately the people of Seattle are honest - so someone turned it into Lost and Found and I got it back. I leave you with a pic of me and the hounds - we have all these traffic calming devices in our neighborhood which Jane has relabeled as dachshund-calming devices. Will try to keep up with the posts! Mike (and Marc)
