Christmas Dog  

Merry Christmas! We have a new dog, Huck. He was found on the side of the road a couple of weeks ago with a broken leg, pelvis, and tail. He has just about recovered from all of that, and is quickly becoming part of the family. Gromit loves him.

The Christmas collar is a coincidence – we thought he would look good in green :-)

Not much else is going on here. Katrin is on call; the hospital is open over the holidays for the first time in recent memory. So we’re spending Christmas in Auburn with the handful of people who didn’t finagle some vacation time.
Happy holidays and all that!

Chris and Jen's Wedding  

We went to Madisonville, LA this past weekend to attend the wedding of my very old friend Dr. Chris Janssen and his new bride Dr. Jennifer Wooderson.

ATSB00004I was a groomsman, so the party started Friday with the rehearsal, and went through Sunday brunch, and then a boat ride on the Tchefuncte river to bring the Champagne Lady back to her berth.

Tons of pictures here, but not forever since it's half a GB worth.

Back in the Day  

We haven't posted anything in forever - we've mostly switched to messing around on facebook.

Here's a little photo album for those of you still paying attention :-)

Cat Chaise  

DSC_0781We've been wanting to get some patio furniture for a while, but the sticker shock was giving us pause. We finally mail-ordered some.

Of course, it came in some enormous cardboard boxes, which provided us with plenty of construction material for a project that we've been wanting to do since we saw it here.

DSC_0751The rationale here is that cats like anything cardboard, so what better material to use for luxury cat furniture? The Kid started sitting on it before we even got started. 

 

Here's the base, with some additional bracing underneath. The Kid has gained more than a few pounds since her refugee days, so she needs something sturdy.

The dogs had to get in on the action as well. This is the top, also cut from one big piece of cardboard.

She loves it! She's hardly left the chaise since we set it up in the living room. It's a little bigger than it needs to be - I guess we overestimated The Kid's size when we laid out the design. And that's saying something.
The Kid's favorite old bath mat just happens to fit in there.
