Our newest employee


One day last week I came home to find I had a new employee... I didn't realize I had a position open but he assures me he's the guy for the job, whatever it is. As it turns out he lives next door and has a full time position as an assistant computer consultant. However he's pleased as punch to moonlight over here as Sparky's deputy. She's thrilled silly to have help tearing up stuff, digging holes, herding birds and barking at the other neighbors' cats. As it turns out the owner is happy to have something else for him to do, so we rigged up a system for opening and closing the hole in the fence so he has access when I can supervise the shenanigans.


His owner is young and wears prayer beads. Nice as pie, but again young and wears prayer beads. The puppy's name is "be". There you have it. But imagine if you will an episode of Seinfeld. The door opens abruptly, in slides Kramer, who immediately has his head in the fridge doing inventory. This is the puppy in a nutshell, (a Nancy Lang observation) so his name over here is "Kramer".



Sparky is no longer acting like an older dog... Life is quite a bit more exciting for us all, with an occasional rest period.

Hooray for "K-be". Sometimes you
have to start working for a company
to straighten them out, even if they
weren't hiring......xo

I guess that Sparky placed an ad on the sneak. How convenient that the best applicant lives next door. Love the dog-door-in-the-fence system. Your pix are the best too. I think that we ALL get younger around our closest peeps. And by the way: Missing You.
