My dog is better than me

I've been really ill and so have the children. My dog has not had a walk in something like 4 days. While dogs have no understanding of time, he knows how overdue a walk is. Yet, the only complaint I get from him is some pointed staring, a whimper or two, and a few more entreaties to play.

If you took something I loved as much away from me for 4 days, I would not show nearly as much understanding. Indeed, I'd take it personally. I'd complain openly. Passive-aggressive jibes would fly. You'd probably want to kick me in the head.

Perhaps he understands we're all really sick. I can't say. But, he doesn't hold grudges. He's still happy to see us, grateful for any attention, quick to defend the house from delivery drivers. I'm sure I'd totally slack off at my job.

- I wrote this years ago and never posted it. Well, it's still true. My dog is better than me. 

2 weeks

I think it's been about 2 weeks since I was here last. So, I'm half way to making it to 1 month before forgetting about this. Stellar! Of course, stellar would really mean that I added some content and let people know about the existence of this thing. Baby steps. I'll look around for some pictures to post.

Found Again

I forgot about this blog ... if you could even call it that. Perhaps it should have a reminder setting. Perhaps I should hire some monkeys to write it. Yeah, that's the ticket. I'm going to go find some orangutans now.

A New Beginning

It's been nearly two years since we started this blog and we're back. Tali is now a real person with two working feet and opinions. Annika continues to delight all who know her.

Now let's see if mom has enough of a brain left to figure this thing out.

Greetings

Hi.

This is Annika (and Tali). Our mom chose this is as the forum to introduce us to the world. As of this writing, Annika is 20 months old and Tali is still hanging out in mom's belly. Soon, soon, there shall be pictures.
