We're hitched!!!

It was everything we ever wanted in a wedding and a great day with family and friends! No need to say more! Mike & Marc

E-collar for Bailey

Poor little Bailey - he began limping on Monday night. I was worried that it was a problem with a herniated disc, but once he started licking his paw, we figured out what the problem was - he had an infected sore between his toes. Thus, he had to make a trip to the vet, get a wound debridement, a shot of antibiotics, and a 2 week prescription. He now has an E-collar and looks pretty cute! It's kind of funny to see him try to crawl under the chair, bed, etc., but keeps bumping the collar into things. He should make a full recovery, but must not walk to vigorously for the next few weeks (which he is excited about).

Seattle free stuff

Seattle is notorious for putting free things out on the street - people who are moving get desperate to get rid of stuff, so they put it on their front lawn with a big sign marked "free." On Labor Day, Marc and I were walking down the street with the dogs when we noticed the bureau on the street. It is a bit beat up - the finish has been stripped, so the grain is quite raised, it has some water damage, the pulls are missing, and it is a bit "loose." Well, I figure we can put a piece of 1/4" plywood on the back to straighten it up, and we can then sand and pickle or paint the wood. With new pulls and drawer liners, it will be a nice piece. I told Marc that the sad thing is that we will probably move it from house to house to house and have it for 50 years! Will let you know when I actually get it fixed up! Mike
