I'm in beautiful Scandia, MN for a few days, house and pet sitting for Christine and Richard. They're in Savannah for their anniversary, and they return on Monday.
Things are pretty much 'the usual' here. Two cats and two large German Shepherds to care for. They're all well-behaved with a couple caveats. The cats constantly want to escape from the house, so a good deal of care is required when entering and exiting. That's Obi Wan on the left, Figaro on the right, both planning their next escape.
The dogs live to play frisbee and can get, well, rather insistent about it. The mud that's everywhere makes playing outside a challenge, especially in the housekeeping sense. On the whole they're good doggies, though.
One of the perks of being here is that the bandwidth is so much zippier than ours at home. About five times zippier. Lots of music and Old Time Radio being downloaded, all legal of course. Of course.
On another front, I finished the newsletter we write for the Amery Humane Society today and delivered it to the printer. Mary, the shelter manager, wants to have 1000 printed. I think it's the biggest run of my work ever to appear in print. Woo hoo!
Here's a link to a PDF for anyone who's interested.

"Moose says "hey" to Chief Charlie Whiteface"....I'm still smiling! The newsletter is laid out so professionally, and the text is very engaging, very nice job Mark! I might have some odds and ends for the garage sale.
From what I've heard, insistent is too tame a word. You are a saint Mark. I finally signed into blogger. Perhaps I'll create a post. I miss you. Haven't seen you forever, or so it seems!
