Progress continues. Gus is so, so, so curious about Rusty-the-Dog. So when they end up face to face, Gus really wants to check things out. I don’t yet trust Rusty not to eat Gus, so I try to keep a hold on things. And then he poses like this, trying to look totally casual: In [...]

Rusty and Gus, II
January 10, 2012Molly
January 8, 2012Today Molly, Westerman and Javier’s dog, goes back home after three weeks of staying here while her dads were traveling to assorted exciting places.

Rusty and Gus

December 20, 2011Making it Official
December 17, 2011I officially decided to keep the dog. (Shocker, right?) This decision is not without incident. Thursday afternoon, I decided for sure to keep him.
