whew...

so we made it to monday. iron mountain was interesting in an extended family sort of way. it's always reassuring to see robin's family is just as...um...quirky as mine (although in different ways). grandma only had one spell and robin brought her out of it so all in all it was a good weekend.

the puppy? well, he's great. as soon as he moved in he started a blog (see links section) and was asking for wi-fi so he can update from his crate. i told him he'll just have to wait until madison is 100% wi-fi for that.

the dog is a pee machine, but he's only outsmarted us twice so far so i think we're doing pretty well. he loves his crate and slept all night without an accident. i set the alarm for 1:30 and checked on him but didn't have the heart to wake him. he was a little feaked out by our yard...it was dark and the dogs a few houses down barked at him. but he is using the doggie toilet like a champ today. this afternoon he gets his first look at the vet. sucka. we woke up at 5 this am to let him out...that combined with the 1:30 wake up call and we're beat. but in a good way...

here we are at 5:10am....
