so to cap off the long weekend, we decided to take a quick trip out to jordan lake state park and go on a little hike with bruno. the trees are just starting to bud out, so it'll probably still be a while before it gets real pretty, but the weather was gorgeous.
about halfway through the trail, we had to turn around. the water level was ridiculously high (probably from last week's 5 day rain-a-thon).
and of course, this is what happens to your hand when you walk bruno for an extended period of time... ;)

so, it seems the dog sometimes just doesn't feel like going outside for a pee or a walk. thought these pictures were kinda funny (two different occasions)... :)

so, one of bruno's favorite activities when locked up in the bathroom with too much energy is to take it out on the newspaper. he thrashes the heck out of it and then passes out. it's annoying to clean up, but kinda cute... ;) (and it's a heck of a lot cheaper than books and furniture)
the other day, he was being a little brat, so we tossed him in the bathroom like normal. except this time we didn't hear any paper being ripped up. thought it was a breakthrough until we saw this:
he's getting pretty big as well, eh?

so we know bruno's got a lot of boxer in him, but we're not sure what the other breeds may be. did a couple of searches online and i think he's probably part lab, like his aunt shiloh.
here's some boxer/lab mix puppies. what do you think?

little guy's getting quite a bit bigger. he gained five pounds between vet visits (about 2 weeks apart)...

so it snowed last night. in north carolina?!?
we've got at least an inch on the ground and it's still coming down. hopefully all the crazies drive nicer today.

so we brought back laura's dad's old nikon camera from puerto rico. the camera's at least 30 years old, but the lens mounts on our new nikon digital SLR. the focal length is a bit different (50mm isn't the same on a DSLR), but it's a very fast fixed lens (f1.4), which means you can take some nice low-light photos. and since it's so fast, you get the cool blur around everything that's out of focus.
anyways, i was just playing around with some shots of bruno around the house... :)

so we adopted a puppy today...
here's bruno, a boxer mix that we got from the animal shelter. so far he really enjoys chewing things and peeing on the carpet. hopefully a bunch of rawhide bones will help with the first and time will help the latter.
i'm sure there will be more images to come. :)
