Ernest in the bed, June 24th, 2006.
This weather sucks. It is hot, sunny and generally great for those without things to do and Viewridge pool memberships and bad for small mostly black basset hounds and the people that must check on them.
Today, Ernest went to work for about one hour (yes, I had pre-reserved his shady location), sucked on my ice cubes from my iced coffee and then decided that lock down chez nm was a better option.
He did okay, I think being stuck in lock down may help him increase that bladder control as well, which would be a positive thing.
Tomorrow should also be defective in the weather department, so other than a quick morning snuffle, its lock down for Ernest.
This past weekend we did a lot of things, mostly the mundane, but punctuated with a visit from Aunt Pat and cousin Scruffy, Ernest's first Pride March on the Hill, his first exposure to Dykes on Bikes (not impressed), a ferry ride to Vashon and visit with Amadeus, the great dane and his very charming people. He loved them.
Ernest and the Dykes on Bikes.
Ernest meets cousin Scruffy.
Ernst (his german name) meets Amadeus.It was busy around here.
Life here is okay, my work is getting sort of interesting again with lots of exciting things going on if you enjoy data management. I'm thinking I may take Monday off and have a four day weekend at home. Imagine that! So out of character for moi, but I might be able to do things as mundane as go to the dump and just read the paper.
We'll see what the rest of the week brings.

When you say "Ernst" I can't help but think of John Irving's book "Setting Free the Bears" which featured a bloke named Ernst. Apart from Amadeus, looks like he had fun!
He loved Amadeus, I just didn't get such great pictures.
Its good to have a big dog to help you get things off the top shelves.
That's what the Freaks say. They heart their big brother Tuck.
