New Friends!

While Vinny partied it up with the Puppy set at A Dog's Day Inn over the weekend Paula and I jetted off to Purdue for Homecoming weekend. It was a great time, you can find a link to the photos and updates on our Stone Cold Tailgating Blog.


While at the game we got to meet a new puppy friend! Jen and Tony (the guy playing tug of war with Vince below) got a new puppy and they brought him up for the game. The puppy's name is Sanders and he's also got his own blog: http://www.goodsanders.blogspot.com/.










We look forward to Sanders and Vince meeting each other once Sanders is big enough to defend himself against Vince in the puppy play department. Vince's frequent trips to open kennel have made him a very skilled puppy player. He has learned all the tricks needed to "win" his puppy interactions - though we're trying to train that out of him!

My First Tailgate

Vince got to go to his first Purdue Football tailgate yesterday! He seemed to really enjoy himself, there were plenty of new things to smell and lots of people to shower with affection.

Unfortunately the heat still has not let up for us here int he midwest and Paula ended up heading out to the tailgate to let Vince out during the third quarter. It was probably cool enough in the car, but we were worried and thought it best to let him out.

I Made It Home!

As you see in the Oktoberfest post, I had a problem with a bike in Munich. This evening for the first time since the "incident" I summoned the courage to crawl back on a bike! I made it 12 miles with no problems. My wounds are healed - mental and physical!

Real problem was after I got home, I managed to get lost while walking the pooch. The wooded neighborhoods around here are really difficult to navigate in the dark with only a flashlight. After an hour we managed to wander our way back to a main road and found our way back but it was a bit worrisome for a while.

Boys Weekend

Paula's off trotting the globe again so it was just the boys hanging out for the weekend. Today was great, we spent most of the day at the vet. (Vince picked up a little something at the puppy camp.) We spent the weekend in the MC because I was working all day on Saturday.

The most excitement we had all weekend was our long walk tonight! We headed out to take our walk a little later than usual tonight. What I forgot is that the sun is now going down earlier and a 7 p.m. walk is now in the pitch black. I know that I'm a total city dweller because it was so dark I was shocked! Luckily I had a flashlight with me or Vince would have been acting as a guide dog.
