So, through the course of doing some heavy social marketing at work, I stumbled across a twitter account with the most awesome background image: a little spaniel balancing yogurt cups on her head with a spoon in her mouth balancing a golf ball. I immediately turned my attention to Google image search to discover [...]
So Pumpkin pulled it off… she won the Puppy Love 5K! Most of the race there were a few runners ahead of us running without dogs, and on the last stretch, we caught up to the leader and used him to draft the head wind, but then I could hear some dog tags gaining [...]
So I was just telling AJ and Laetitia that I would love to enter a run or marathon or something where I could do it with Pumpkin, since we go running in the mornings during the week. Well, Laetitia found something just in the nick of time – The Puppy Love run, which is [...]
Laetitia and I are taking care of Newton and Kepler, which means Pumpkin gets to spend time with her brothers out at the Boulder Knolls Observatory.
As you can see, they are very excited to see Laetitia in the morning:

I was pleasantly surprised this Christmas with an awesome present from Laetitia – a Flip MinoHD! I have an iPhone 3GS, which can take video, but it’s no where near the quality I’ve been wanting. Pumpkin is quite the performer, and there have been far too many occasions where we’ve wished we had [...]
Last night Porfirio pulled out the Lego box… good old yellow castle 6075 from 1978. I got admonished for having taped the box shut because it is supposedly a “collector’s item” so I went on eBay to prove him wrong, sure I was going to find 18 of them going for about 12 bucks each. Sure enough, I found one… listed for $297!!!!!
Today, Pumpkin got to play with Toni and Michael’s VERY patient kitty… as you can see, Pumpkin fell in love…
The BP had her first-ever teeth cleaning at the vet yesterday and now her smile is sparkling and her breath is minty-fresh. I don’t know how she accumulated so much crud on her teeth in two short years, but it seems like this is going to be on the regular maintenance schedule from now on.
Her [...]
Today is Pumpkin’s 2nd birthday, and she still manages to act like a sassy and excited puppy! Her day started out with me taking her outside to do her business, and then we took our [almost] daily ~3.5 km run. After that, I got to wash her paws and her bum, and then [...]
