Here is a problem. In the month and a half that I have had this infernal camera I have taken 2700 pictures. The vast, vast majority are complete clunkers. The keepers are very workmanlike but are pretty damn pleasing to me. The problem is that most of these keeper photos are of the pups. They are fine looking boys and they do not run away from flashes like the cats or throw things like the woman. So what I’m saying is expect way too many pictures of Walter and Jasper.

Today the boys and I were abandoned by the woman for her true love, the Ikea. Outside had snow and temperatures in the twenties so the boys did not want to come back inside. So we threw the stick around and the wrestled a bit. Jasper has learned that even though he is spotting Walter forty pounds, Walt’s rear legs are not terribly well connected to anything. Out they go and down Walt goes and Jasper wins a round. What I’m saying is Jasper fights dirty.

Oh, and just so I get to put this out first, Walter is the new Mr. Winkle. Sorry Ms. Regan. Your time in the sun has passed.
