Baby Pics




Che is ~8 weeks old and about 4.5 lbs in the picture above. He's going to be so embarrassed when he sees this.

Fast Forwarding


Above: Che and Giacomo sleeping.

Giacomo and Che had another playdate. To see what happened in the first three acts of this play, see the entries of July 25, 2008 below.

The final act, SLEEP, though, I can watch over and over.

Update

A few minutes after the photo in the post below was taken, Che went to go sleep in another bed; though the peace continues.

Finally!*

Peace In Our Time?


Having finally procured cloned rawhide roll-ups, the parties agreed to cease rassling and gnaw in peace, love and understanding (for the time being of course).

Hope for Detente?


A brief cease-gnawing was agreed upon to see if detente could be achieved. Talks broke down when neither side would agree to take the smaller rawhide roll-up.*

*In addition, Che wanted a round table, while Giacomo demanded a square one.

Battle Royale*


Che and his friend Giacomo taking a break from their epic battle royale (for possession of a raw hide roll-up) to have their picture taken. They wanted to make sure the event is memorialized for future generations, to accompany the odes and eddas that will surely be written.
__________________________________
* They're very evenly matched: Giacomo has the speed advantage, Che the weight advantage.

Natural Born Killer Retriever*




Above - Proper form.**
Below - Improper form.***

Though he lives in a big city, Che doesn't forget his roots, and practices every day to keep his retrieving skills sharp, just in case he needs to get a job.****

* No animals were harmed in the making of this blog post; Unionized stuffed stunt ducks were employed and paid scale.
** Only guessing on which is the proper form.
*** See fn. **.
**** Actually, Che has no retriever in him, though he is 1/2 natural ratter/mouser, but takes more interest in birds.
