Someone was asking me the other day how Trojan and Brian get along together. So far, it hasn't been a problem. Even when the girls are in season, Brian is EXTREMELY respectful to Trojan. I really think this is because of what I call 'The Mature Dog' syndrome. Some dogs grow up and exude confidence. Morrigan did. Trojan does. I don't think I am going to have any issues from these two...

Also, look how athletic these two are! This went on for about fifteen minutes! A have six minutes of video from this frolic! Right after I turned off the camera, they went tearing around the dining room table with Trojan chasing Brian. When they got back around to the coach, Brian simply jumped it! This dog is SO strong and SO confident. He is awesome!

Oh, one more thing, yes, big, strong James DOES laugh like a little girl! :)

My shoulder just popped back in! YES! It has been bugging me for a week. Here are a few moments in time. Happy moments that I am glad are preserved.

May is growing like a weed! She is stunning. When we did her breeding we hoped that we would get something special but with only one pup, even my classic optimism was slightly concerned. I shouldn't have worried. I'm thinking Priceville... AND Brian is becoming what we all hoped he would. He is growing up as a dog and that always makes me happy. Again, I am thinking Priceville.


Heh heh. If y'all are nice I will post the puppy version... You owe it to yourself to click on this picture and look at him in high resolution.


Possible the only picture I will ever share of my wife in bed... circa 2005, French Lick, IN. Trojan is slowly evicting her... backing her off the bed.


My buddy, Rex. Been thinking about him allot lately. I am trying to find Apollo's daddy, Joe Miller.

I hate writing on my blog page without pictures.

Here are a couple of pictures to prove to my wife that I actually did go to Baltimore! The first is the battleship USS Constellation. She sits in the Baltimore Harbor. Right now she is having her hull reconditioned on her starboard side (that's left for you landlubbers!). The second picture is for my Dad. Its the Sewage Pumping House that is dockside in the Baltimore Harbor. This building is gorgeous and is also undergoing renovations.

These next two pictures are of the devine Miss May or as Sidney has taken to calling her in her best Southern Drawl - Miss Mayonnaise .

Its been a couple weeks and it is time for an update! Firstus, a few quick facts: May is growing like a weed. She will be 3 months old tomorrow. She weighed 41 pounds this morning. She tortures her mother relentlessly. Megan Fox is 23 years old. She is growing very uniformly. (Most puppies I have raised have grown tall then wide then tall again. May isn't growing like that. She has stayed in roughly the same dimensions for the last month. A month in which she has gained 20 pounds...)

May has started wearing a collar! She likes it. We have also started crating her. She likes that too. She is a pretty sweet girl. I will post some birthday pictures tomorrow!

On the less serious side, the plant where I have worked for the last fifteen years is being closed. 300,000 sq feet burned eight months ago, we set up a temporary facility about 30 miles away. The temp facility is being closed and normal operations are being consolidated into a plant in Jackson, TN. I have accepted an expanded position and role in Aiken, SC. I am not relocating from Veal but, I will have to have a residence in Aiken. I will commute there weekly and back home for the weekends. I also would anticipate more business travel.
