Halloween in Virginia

By Anonymous -




























For Halloween Ahni had great weather and a plan. The problem was, I came home just as the sun was setting and thought I was going to hand out treats while the others went throughout the nieghborhood. Wrong! I was met at the door by Ahni, who was dressed in her Geisha outfit that we bought while mom and dad were in town. Normally, that would be great, but when Ahni and all the neighborhood kids asked if I was going to don my costume, I knew I was in trouble. I was coerced into dressing-up and went out with the family and neighbors for a great evening. One neighbor thought I was Baby Huey :>( How could he NOT guess I was a Sumo wrestler? Here are some pics.

I scooched your pictures around so that the formatting didn't interfere with the text. Scooched is a technical term. While the geisha looks delighted in the photo, the sumo looks a little surprised. But, at least he's training, and working on maintaining his weighty status.

Without anyone's urging she videoblogged the enclosed entry, and I tracked down the video file in her account to upload for everyone's information.

On to the story of Izzy

By Chris Turner -
For the past couple of weeks we had been finally considering another dog, Otis having passed in June. Evenings found us as an easily-lampoonable suburban yuppie couple, each of us window shopping on our respective laptops on the couch. On our Sunday bicycle ride we earnestly began discussing the characteristics that we wanted: mature dogs, no puppies; a rescue from a shelter, not something for which we had to pay. But Tiffani spotted Izzy on CraigsList and all that criteria gladly went out the window. Contact with the owner was made, and we drove ourselves to Belding yesterday afternoon with the kids to see if the dog and our family would be a good, two-way fit. The owner was forced to get rid of her due to a breakup and she was sad to see her go. She's a Catahoula Leopard , of which we'd never heard , and the breed seems to have a colorful, if not completely fantastical story. The kids all played with her and Cori walked her, so Izzy slept well in a crate overnight, I hard
