Delta Dawg

I don't like dogs and I swore it would be at least two years before "let" Michael get a puppy. Well, Michael went to Chicago for a week for an exciting accounting conference. I got lonely. Therefore, I decided I needed a puppy. Michael encouraged me to wait until after Europe to make a decision, which just further convinced me because European dogs are so well-behaved! It's awesome. So it had to be a good dog breed and a good dog and make people stay away from me when I go jogging. German Shepherd it was. She's not AKC registered (because I didn't care) but she is full-blood and healthy.

She's currently growing into her bark, and uses it frequently on fire hydrants, blenders, the vacuum cleaner, her squeaky toys, and noises she may or may not hear outside. Her biggest fears include... bundled up bed sheets.

She loves to be by our feet, especially if we're cooking.

Also loves shoes. She just lays on them and doesn't chew, so it's fine with me.

Anyways, I love her and she's the best puppy ever, even if you think you have the best puppy ever. And yes, I don't really have a life right now, I admit it.

Finally Home

So we had a couple of normal-ish weeks at home, then it was off to Europe with Dad, Mom, Katie, and Daniel. What a trip! I felt like I needed a vacation afterwards to recover.

We started out in Switzerland...

And then we made a short stop in the 3rd smallest country in the world, Liechtenstein. That's pretty much the whole country right there. The monarch lives in the castle on the right.

We then hopped on a train to Salzburg, Austria...





Annnd then on to Vienna...



Prague was next, and actually way prettier than I expected. I think it's because the name makes me think of a frog.



Next was Germany- Leipzig and Wittenburg...


And I just got tired, so I'm going to bed. I'll finish this stuff later.
