This morning we get to spend more time with Milo. We'll interact with his nannies and soak up as much knowledge as we can from his loving caregivers. This is Milo's last day in the care center. In the afternoon we'll ...

Mazie Ate a Pound of Chocolate

Friday, November 16th, 2007 Posted in Animals | No Comments »

So I caught our dog Mazie cleaning out a bag of Hershey Kissables (basically candy-coated chocolate). I came down stairs to find her licking out the inside of the bag. There was nothing left. Apparently the bag had been full. So ...

We went to the Minnesota Zoo today with Mimi and Papa (as opposed to the other set of grandparents, Mima and Papa) and Lexi got to feed the goats. And you can watch. Lexi Feeds the Goats from kevinhendricks on Vimeo.

Weird Dog

Thursday, September 6th, 2007 Posted in Animals | No Comments »

So I went to put the dogs in their kennels and Mazie didn't come when I called. Strange. But Speak was there, so I figured I'd put him in his kennel and then go track down Mazie. When we got downstairs ...

Sponsor my Dogs for Bark in the Park

My wife is a dog freak. I knew she liked dogs when I married her, but I think I underestimated the dog person quotient. I'm the person whose number one rule when looking for a dog was that it can't ...

Runaway Dog

Today when the Simon Delivers man came with our groceries both dogs bounded out the door. Speak actually stopped to jump all over the Simon man, but Mazie noticed the gate was open and bound down the driveway towards the ...

My Cross-Dressing Dog

Monday, September 5th, 2005 Posted in Animals | 1 Comment »

Our dog Speak made another appearance in the Target ads. And yes, he's a well-paid cross-dresser. I actually took him to this photo shoot, and it was pretty interesting. What you can't really tell in the picture is that he's also ...

Stray Cat

As if my day wasn't already exciting, we came home to find a cat in the backyard. It took off when we got out of the car, but it later showed up on the deck. Eager to check it out ...
