Backyard BBQ With Ruby and Luke

This weekend we spent a lovely evening at the Czeban-McKeown household. The kids had a great time playing with the strange fluffy animal that had been invited into their home. A big thanks to John, Leslie, Ruby, and Luke for their hospitality and cheer!

Ready for Summer

For awhile now we have been under the (convenient) assumption that Sherman just isn't much of a shedder. We brushed him throughout the Spring and never got more than a few pinches of loose fur. Now, as Mother Nature slowly enters into Summer, we've discovered--oh, boy!--how wrong we were.

Here's Caitlin in the middle of brushing him...

And the results (keys for reference)...

Sort of looks like a great toupe...

We would like to thank Ms. Barb Wine for the Furminator--a miracle device. Thank you! Sherman is a couple of pounds lighter and much more comfortable (nothin' like the breeze blowing through a freshly groomed coat of fur).

The One Where a Young Boy Chases Sherman

Video of Sherman being chased around the Tompkins Square dog run by a young boy. Sherman is not giving up that stick for no one. Video was taken using a HTC G1 w/ Android 1.5 (in case you were wondering). End of May, 2009.
