Abby is two years old!

Well, our Halloween doodle had her second birthday yesterday. I thought she would look really cute in a witch's hat, but we had neither the time nor the occasion.

As some of you may know, we've been training the dogs to have jobs around the house. Abby is the drawer and cabinet closer, and hopefully by the time we come home for Thanksgiving she'll have generalized beyond our types of drawers so she can be everyone's kitchen helper. She'll take her compensation in turkey, thankyouverymuch.

Teaching Buster to ID the food bowls

So much catching up to do! So little done here...

Well, I have lots of fun stuff to post on here. However, literally all summer long, I have to average about 1,500 pages/week to have a hope of being ready for exams in September, so it'll be slow updating. In the meantime, for your viewing pleasure, Buster learning to play frisbee. As you can see, he's got some mad ups.
