Madness and Sadness in Dogville and Happy Easter


Today was a sad and happy day on Lakeside Lane. Our friends and neighbors, Steve and Yvonne, lost their beloved Chelsea (while the whole time thinking they were losing Fonz, her best friend). But that's how life works, right? You expect one thing and then something entirely different comes out of left field. I think John Lennon said that "life is what happens when you're making other plans."

Meanwhile, our other friends and neighbors (Zorro's parents), Sharon and Isaac, unexpectedly came home with two new puppies! They're three days younger than Bali and less than half his size. Pictures of Missy and Moser will, I'm sure, be forthcoming.

Happy Easter! Despite Bali's decidedly Hindu namesake, here he seems to show a great deal of reverence to The Holy Virgin Mother. We don't think he knows what any of that means, but that's why they call it faith, right?


Today was Bali's first day of "school." It turned out to be more of a "meet and greet" because he's actually too young (and dumb) to start for another four weeks. Here, he moves in fearlessly on a pack of noble and beautiful Shepherds. Notice his plan to overtake the chew toy being guarded by the Shepherd on the left.


Notice Bali's success in this endeavor.


Bali, after successfully dividing and conquering the pack, and robbing them of their goods, enabled me to quickly move in and take my place. Just call me Wolf Man.


Bali chills with our UWSP alma mater mascot Pointer and a big European Shepherd as we listen to orientation. We felt like we were in an episode of The Dog Whisperer.


Yesterday I came home to find that Bali had been kidnapped . . . by Kel. Her coworkers had been dying to meet him while he was still a pup.

Caren and pup.


Caryn and pup.


Kelly and pup.



So, that's it from the realm of the Majestic Mountain Dog . . . wait a minute, I think he just peed in his crate . . .
