it's a shame they don't like each other. really.

first and foremost, HAPPY BIRTHDAY BROOKE!! :)



life around here has been pretty puppy-centric lately. redd is doing very well, learning the ropes from big brother lukin and giving the cat grief whenever possible. chester is pretending to hate the puppy, but for the most part he's very tolerant (he'll make "I hate you" noises, but won't actually make any great effort to get away from redd unless he's really, really pesty). lukin loves having a play buddy, and he lets Redd chew on his ears and use him as a jungle gym--i'm very impressed with how good he's been (props to kate's mom for breeding such wonderful dogs!).

mom and dad are coming out for a visit this week, so dana and i are doing some house cleaning this weekend. we're going to take them up to the grand canyon next weekend, which will be very exciting b/c they haven't been before. speaking of the grand canyon, i may have another trip down the river for work coming up in late april. not definite yet, but i'm keeping my fingers crossed...hey, i need to visit my project sites and make sure everything is going well!

i'm going to go outside and play with lukin and redd. later gators! :)
