Hound Dog

by Elvis Presley

i blipped dogs last christmas, too.
(again, the linked pic was with camera phone)
only 3/5 dogs in the linked pic were there this year.
sheba was put to sleep a couple of months ago (gray/black/white),
and chuck was left at home (the tiny brown/white in front)

this is trip playing with one of his christmas toys.
im really really surprised that he held still long enough
for it to come out this clear.
he's gotten a lot closer to me this break than he normally does,
i dont know if its just because sheba is gone or what.

its still strange being home without her there.

christmas was a fairly small thing this year.
just had the ohio-resident-family members visit,
and it was surprisingly not-that-awkward,
considering im not really close to any of my family
and only involved a couple of hunting shows ending up on the tv.
