a person in 1,563 photos maddy Got high as eff and watched Maddy chase lizards around. Lap-chicken is very ready to be out of the car! Such a good travel buddy. Hey, we almost there yet? After eating we hit the town to check out the local shops and enjoy the weirdness. Made it to Asheville just as Meredith & Quinn were leaving the Halloween party they were at! Parents of the birthday boy! So tired from chasing squirrels all afternoon. Maddy was so excited to go out into their backyard where she can chase squirrels free-range. Copilot wants to know if we're there yet. Happy 40th, Scott! Love you! Working on lyrics with my editor. Everyone's a critic. Back at home with my lil duck. We did a little pre-gaming at my place... Synchronized tail-wagging! So excited to see Gurj! Took these two ladies on a long walk over to the pet store on 9th Street... Friday morning double hound walk! Hanging with my sleepy buddy in the afternoon. Saw Jane Anne on Monday and she got to do the double-dachshund cuddle. ...and laid down with this grimple to do some reading. Sunday snugglers. Such a pillow-sitter. ...so neither of these ladies wanted to go outside. (I set Edie up with a heating pad for her sore back). Dachshund yin & yang. Held up a piece of chicken in the air to get this photo of these two looking like well behaved dogs. Is it my turn for holding yet? Meredith had recently broken up with Dylan and our HEARTBREAK HOTEL agreement always stands so she came to stay on the couch for a few days and took turns holding the dogs until she felt better. Oh, did I wake you? Wiener dog in front of a wiener dog sign! Here comes The Sun Jane Anne turbo charging up with an iced tea. ...she was a good sport about listening to all my songs I played for her and my deep, insightful realizations about how maybe I'm not so young anymore. Maybe . Haha. Smashed by a pillow with paws peeking out! Breakfast banana and a hound walk over to the East River. Squintor. My living room gets excellent afternoon sun. Walk me? Had breakfast sandwiches with Jane... Dad, what u doin? Everything ok with u? Amanda putting a sleepy Maddy. On Sunday evening I was reunited with Maddy (and Amanda) after being out in LA for a few days Sleeping with a tiny dog-ass on your shoulder! Now you know why your bicep smells like a dog fart! Ha ha! Within 10 minutes of being back at my apartment, he conked out for the night. (Sweating it out at the baths can make you SO TIRED). Professional chin-rester Woke up at 8:50am on my 39th birthday and this tiny genius stretched and then collapsed over my arm. My parent's birthday card to me featured a Maddy lookalike! Dog smile. Loading the crew back up. Exploring so hard. We drove to a park in Ellen's hometown. City dogs dying to be let off leash! She arrived with Piper and The Dude and I rolled up with Maddy and Edie. Wiener walkin. Giving me the stink eye for coming home smelling like the beach. Started the month off strong with a double dog hang Gurj slumber party. After walking these ladies... Gurj came over after work on Friday... Dog-gang hang! Perfect Friday summer weather. Walked these two characters... I accidentally left my brand new cell phone on the bus and my dad had to drive me to the NJ Transit Bus depot... Dog nugget. On Thursday morning my very nerdy package arrived from China! Heard some commotion in the evening and walked into my office to see that Maddy had caught and killed a mouse. So proud! Tuesday morning dachshund / chicken standoff. ...in the laziest of fashion... Enjoyed the afternoon sunshine... Finished off the month strong with another reiki trade with Next Lev Kev! Happy June, 2013! Sunday evening vibes. Hoping for some cheese. Chicken chasin. Finish cleaning and walk me. Hung out with Leigh and we tortured Maddy with some of her excellent dog costumes. T-rex. Hates it! Maddy likes yelling at the chickens every morning. Dad, why you so weird? Crystal ball selfie with dog. (Maddy is making a great expression in this pic!) Walked along a neat pathway that ended in this round mirror. East River Park hound walk Such majesty. Spent the early evening... Got some real good reading in with my reading partner. Hung out with these two hounds. Leigh came over for a hang and to drop off an Edie for me to watch for a bit. Tue evening I walked over to Amanda's for a dinner party... ...but they ended up becoming best buds! Henry was feeling a little shy around Maddy... Maddy waiting for grill-droppings. This fuzzworm compelled me to take her on a long walk... Morning East River walk with the winkle. Found the guilty perp hiding in the corner. SO BUSTED! Waiting for the morning walk. Took Maddy out for a walk and all she did was stand 10 feet away from my door and watch rats run around deep inside this face-sized hole in the sidewalk. Murder on her mind. Squinty Shortlegs. Maddy growling at the chickens in their coop. Stopped back at home to hang with the monkeys (Edie's butt on the pillow! Ha!) The looks Maddy gives me are very specific. This one: Got more bone? This one finish. They are hilarious to walk together. They are always trying to race ahead in front of each other. I'm the leader of the pack. No, I'M the leader of the pack! ...AND Edie! Hahah. Such cuddle buddies. Laid down for a little Sunday couch nap, and was quickly joined by Maddy... Nice, lil Sunday. Morning walk through the garden! Oh, I amuse you? Like a clown? Some kind of clown to you? Pretty much any sound effect works, actually.
