September 2018

Based on recent history with the puppies, a short, incomplete list of things dogs like to chew on
  • Light bulbs
  • Hearing aids
  • Wallpaper
  • Ear muffs
  • Shoes
  • Table legs
  • Aluminum foil (wrapped around the table leg to stop them)
  • Belts
  • Doors
  • Underwear, preferable lightly used
  • Each other
  • Medicine bottles
  • Rocks
  • Sticks
  • The cat
  • Glasses
  • Plastic bowls
  • live electrical wires
  • stairs
  • stucco walls
They remain cute as the dickens (a statement which I feel is a little ambivalent, since I don't actually know how cute a dickens is).  We have, unfortunately, reached the point where we can not let them run freely in the back yard, because the puppies concept of the back yard has grown to include the back yard (ok), the swamp behind the back yard (ok, if a little messy), the swamp on the other side of the woods (getting a little dicey), the neighbors yards (a no no ), the neighborhood in general (definitely a no no), and based on the length of time they have been missing in action at times, most of the eastern seaboard.  So now we get to walk all three dogs on the leash, where the puppies have, literally, dragged me off my feet a couple of times. 


We helped Brie move into her new apartment in East Boston; she's rooming with Diana Du and another women we don't know.  The place is very nice and minutes away from the blue line, making it an easy commute into Boston.


We attended the completely awesome wedding of Rick and Elizabeth, our friends who met at our wedding.


We did a short hike in Acadia Nationl Forest with Gayle and Charolette

Then we drove out to visit Rick and Elizabeth's Maine cottage. 

Maddy and her girlfriend Becca came to visit.
 
And we'll round out the month with... Dobie, of course.
