report card

kim: one of my favorite kennels that i take peanut to has a nice perk: they give you a report card for your dog, so you know how they behaved during their visit.  peanut typically gets pretty good marks, although the first time she was there for a week, she lost her appetite after a few days; poor dog probably thought i was never coming back, as her stays are usually for weekends.

peanut: the "now boarding" jail is pretty nice. i like it here, as long as it's for only a few days.

kim: peanut is spending her 5th birthday in chicago. she is on the road with me while i'm traveling for work.  despite being in a new place, she is managing to make herself at home.

happy birthday, p-nutty goodness!

peanut:  is that my present over there?

winter fun

kim:  peanut and i enjoy going to the dog park most days, but once in a while we like to mix it up and head to a local park.  one nearby state park, fort snelling, has miles of ski and snowshoe trails to enjoy on a mild winter day.  a 2-mile hike through snow gets us both nice and tired.  if nobody is around, i let peanut go off leash; then she probably gets in about 4 miles, as she likes to run ahead on the trail then zoom back.
