Here’s a glimpse into Daniel World. While Molly was doing yard work, Daniel positioned himself nearby. He made himself a nest complete with comics books galore. He also snuggled with Spirit. He often self-comforts in these ways.
Trip to Walla Walla
June 6th, 2010 · No Comments
We just got back from a trip to see our friends Dave and Melissa in Walla Walla. Molly has known Melissa for about 20 years – they met in Santa Barbara and roomed together in Portland where I met the two in 1993. Subsequently, Melissa moved to Seattle and we moved there a few years [...]

Dirty Dog
April 14th, 2010 · No Comments
Spirit loves to run. She loves to chase tennis balls. And when she’s hot, she loves to wallow in the mud. As a result, there is a lot of this afterward… She tries to resist and I try to wash. It’s like dancing with a reluctant partner. We both get soapy and wet. Hopefully at [...]

Mother’s Day 2009
May 10th, 2009 · No Comments
It was Molly’s 11th Mother’s Day today – I count the year when Molly was pregnant with Camille and she is nine – so that’s nine years plus the one when Camille was a few months old and one where Molly was pregnant. As usual, we went to Discovery Park for a picnic by the [...]

Teaching Spirit to swim
April 30th, 2009 · No Comments
Spirit bounds from the water after retrieving a stick. I finally convinced her to retrieve a stick from deep water, this simultaneously solving several problems: how to teach her to swim, how to teach her to retrieve, and how to get her the exercise she desperately needs. I’ll have to reinforce this behavior, but I [...]
