have a restful thanksgiving

Hanna and I are planning to enjoy the day sans things academical and plus Charles Shaw merlot and a Tofurky roast from our local Trader Joe's.

labor day puppy blogging

It's been a while since I posted any pictures from Michigan of Addie -- quite simply because there weren't any coming my way! But that has been remedied by the latest batch of pics from my father, circa August 15th, when Addie went to stay at the house of family friends while my uncle Tim and (now) aunt Linda held their wedding reception at my grandmother's house (congrats to both of you!). The older golden retriever in the pictures is our friends' dog, Josie.



Hope you're all enjoying the Labor Day weekend.

Holiday weekend puppy blogging

Hard to believe tomorrow's the beginning of the 4th of July weekend already! Here in Boston we've had the cloudiest summer on record since 1903 and this morning Hanna and I had on our overcoats as we stood in the mist waiting for the T. I hope those of you who live not-in-Boston have a more summery forecast for the next few days. Meanwhile, here's the latest batch of puppy pictures to cheer those of you who need cheering, and charm all the rest.

Sunday puppy blogging: Addie's new home

Addie, the puppy my grandmother has adopted, finally come home this weekend. I offer a few photographs sent from Michigan of puppy cuteness.



Hope you all have a great weekend!

Thursday puppy blogging

Grandma gets to bring her puppy home this Saturday! By all accounts, mother-dog Maggie is tuckered out taking care of all the pups in the litter -- and it looks like this little one ran out of steam as well!

Wednesday puppy blogging

New puppy pics!


My father is clearly besotted already. He just needs to give up right now.


And I'm not sure what to make of this picture, but I couldn't not post it. Patient mother dog!

Addy gets to move in with Grandma at the end of June. Congratulations puppy-grandma-to-be!

Sunday puppy blogging

Yesterday, my folks went to visit Grandma's puppy litter and sent some incredibly twee photos. These were my favorites.





Hope y'all are having a quiet, relaxing weekend!

Friday puppy blogging

My grandma back in Holland (Mich.) is adopting a puppy this summer, and the litter was born earlier this week. My dad forwarded me a picture of the mama dog with her brood.



Somewhere in there is a sweet little female who will someday be named Addy!
