Mikata

Did I mention that we were able to visit Mikata and her owners a week or so ago? Well, we were. It was fun to see her and she still looks like a puppy. When we gave her away she was 52 pounds. Now she is 42 pounds. I guess she was taken for more walks by the couple with no children. They do have a baby now though but hopefully she won't be putting on those few extra pounds.

She's still very healthy despite being 15 years old. She's losing her hearing a little bit though and got a little overwhelmed by two kids and one puppy.

Sleepovers and April showers

Easter has come and gone and with it Spring break. Count at least one lesson learned as we approach the end of the school year and summer vacation. Sleepovers on two consecutive nights is too much for our kids to handle without surpassing the crabby threshold. One night is fine, no problem; but it is a good idea to get a full night's sleep the next night.

Right now my wife and daughter are out spraying off the driveway; cleaning the canvas for more chalk art. I guess they couldn't wait for the April showers.

Spring Break

Spring break time here in Lakeville and after hitting Sydney, Hawaii and Southern Japan (the Ocean Dome at Seagaia) the last three years we are visiting (wait for it) Lakeville! this year. Yes we are staying home and doing some swimming, exercising and playing with friends. We have sleepovers and birthday parties lined up and a dinner with family set for Easter Sunday.

Robyn continues to be a workout warrior since her vacation/retirement started last week. She is diligent (almost violent) about getting to her water aerobics class and follows that up with walking/weight lifting/elliptical/swimming. I think she is enjoying her new life. Maybe too much?

And now to the exploits of Hiroo. Last night he tried to bring in a chewed rabbit foot, Ewwww! This morning I had to go pick up the rest of the leg and it was big. What happened to the rest of it? Did he turn into a hunter or was he just a scavenger? Should I call the vet?
