Jasper and Maxie Mae - two pug dogs.

At our "3916" House:
Today I did two things that Josh will be very pleased to hear about...

Jasper and Maxie Mae - two pug dogs.

...and that'd be shaving off my goatee AND throwing out the nasty cushion that Sarah unloaded on us.

The yellow iris are in full bloom after our big rainstorm.

Jasper seems to be pleased with the post-rain experience far more than with the "during rain" experience.

Austin checking out new post-rain smells. (Oh, who am I kidding?!? Jasper just peed in that spot and Austie peed there a half-second after I snapped this photo!)

Maxi would rather run than pose.

Jasper and Maxie Mae - two pug dogs.

At our "3916" House:
1 Austin + 2 Pillows = 1 Pug Not Going Anywhere Anytime Soon.

I haven't updated a Web site in two years, so I'm pretty rusty. I'm just gonna post some pix and captions for now. MAN, I need to take more photographs. I didn't even think to grab the camera to take pictures of Sarah's move-in on Saturday 5/19 (which, BTW, started at 10:30 at night and finished at 3:00 a.m. ... yep.)


Sunday, May 13, 2007 (Mother's Day)...

Jasper and Maxie Mae - two pug dogs.

At our "4741" House:
About an hour before we left to drop you off at the airport: Jasper in full "Guy Smiley" mode and Maxi Mae -- they both know something odd is going on, but they don't know what it is (do they, Mr. Jones?).

At Mom's House:
After dropping you off at good ol' MSP, the dogs and I drove over to Mom's house to hang out for Mother's Day. This is me trying to put together new shelves for Mom's laundry room. It was slow-going, but not so hard to put together. Installing the shelves correctly in the laundry room (however) was another matter altogether!

Mother's Day — At Mom's House.
Mom, Austin, and Maxie wondering why I am such a slow shelf-putter-togetherer.

The dogs resign themselves to their fate of shelf-construction assistants.

But then the dogs decided to make the best of it and took command of the whole "shelf situation." They actually installed this shelf and counter by themselves while Mom and I ate dinner. Don't they look PROUD!

That's it for pictures now. I'll post more later! — Pat
