the misadventures of carly

by | Thursday, January 8, 2009 |

there has been some interest in carly expressed so i thought i'd give a little update.  in a nutshell she's, well, a nut - not like your run-of-the-mill peanut or pecan - we're talking a full blown filbert.  she & speck are a two lady wrecking machine, although neither of them are very ladylike.  carly is delightful and goofy and strange and hysterical all in one extremely gangly body.  she and i are currently having one small issue - if i pay any attention to her (which...

a few months ago (actually at the exact time i was bringing carly home) i got an email from an old acquaintance and the subject line was “do you want an irish wolfhound?” if you want me to pay attention to an email that’s a great subject line to use, by the way. oddly, though, dave & i were a bit overwhelmed with the thought of adding carly, which took our number to an all-time high of 15, and actually i didn’t particularly want an irish wolfhound. i mean i’ll...

last week we had a rare snowfall with some accumulation here in nashville. the evening it actually snowed dave & i were out doing some christmas shopping and, because we’re not that smart, didn’t hurry home as soon as it started snowing. we paid for that lack of intelligence dearly – it took us 2 hours to travel 5 miles home (that inch of snow we got was treacherous to nashville drivers). the next morning dave took the opportunity to get some great shots of the...

for the last two years we've been in a battle with wilson's immune mediated disease and the last year has been spent in a desperate effort to retain as much of wil's eyesight as we possibly could once his disease manifested in optic neuritis. we apparently lost the battle this week as wilson's world has gone black - we've got him on a huge dose of prednisone as a last ditch effort to get back the little sight he had but at this moment it's not looking good. wilson has the spirit of a dog...
