So I got my Ginger back yesterday, and was pleasantly surprised by her sister Maggie’s arrival, too.
Luckily for me, I have a special leash that let’s me attach both dogs together :)
As I walked the girls tonight, the first thing I noticed was that it was so amazingly warm for a March evening. The girls had been away for a weekend w/ their mother, and this was the first time I’d really been out all weekend.
There’s a huge proposal due at work, and I’ve been working pretty hard to get it done in time. I hate giving up my weekends.
Since I’d gotten home so late, I thought I’d take an extra long walk w/ the girls, so I walked a different route, and as I turned back to the west, I looked up in the sky and saw Orion, just like we’d seen so many nights before, and the sight brought a flood of memories back to me…
… and I wept.

09:11 am ETA male dog will whine and beg in deference to a stronger dog, but will lower its voice into a guttural growl if it thinks it has a fighting chance.
Men unconsciously do a similar thing, scientists say.
A new study finds that the lower the pitch of a man’s voice, the more physically dominant other men think he is. And men lower their voice pitch when addressing a man they believe to be less dominant than themselves, but raise it when speaking to someone they think is more dominant.
Huh.. makes sense. I have a pretty deep voice, which might explain a lot :D

Heh.. I know what you were thinking.
Wifie took the rest of the week off, and we’ve been wanting to get “The Girls? to the park to run some energy out of ‘em, so she took the opportunity to do just that.
This isn’t the best picture of our lab, but her ears are tucked back and she looks out of breath (the little doggie has more endurance) :)
Awesome pictures!
