Pie-Ku
It was a nice enough morning that Maddie, Jennifer, and I walked downtown for brunch (and a beer) at Petaluma Pie Company...
Adult Beverage: Ballast Point Sculpin IPA / Small Dog Social
A few months ago, my buddy Lyell recommended this California IPA. It's taken me this long to track one down, but I stumbled upon a cache of it at Petaluma Market tonight. Was Sculpin worth the wait, or will I get stung by this wriggly muddler?Sculpin pours glowing amber with an ample head that flattens [...]
Small Dog Social: February 6, 2011
I've been pretty busy lately, so I'm a little bit slow in posting that pictures from last weekend's Small Dog Social at Our Best Friends are now live at Photobucket and Facebook. Click on through and check 'em out, if you're so inclined. Maddie meets George.
Adult Beverage: Lagunitas Gnarly Wine
Pours stoplight amber with a notable head that graffities alien alphabets upon the glass. Perfume on the nose: floral hops, warm alcohol, toasted malt, and brown sugar. Taste lives up to the promise of the scent. Sweet. Tangy, with notes of toasted cereal and molasses. Medium bodied. Bitter, piney toffee finish. Always a pleasure, but [...]
Happy Maddie-versary (The One Day Late Edition)!
It's been a crazy busy week, and I've been a bit remiss in posting lately, but as Maddie reminded me this morning, once again it's time to look back and publicly commemorate Maddie's adoption and the seven years (where does the time go?) she's been hanging out with us (last night, we privately marked the [...]
Welcome to the Weekend
Weekends tend to pass too quickly, so I'm savoring this Sunday afternoon, sitting on the couch with Maddie, half-watching The Buena Vista Social Club and reading. Bright and early yesterday morning, we dropped Maddie off at Petaluma Pet Groomer for a much-needed bath and haircut. The weeks of Maddie's convalescence had left her smelling a [...]
Feet! (Part Two)
"Skinny foot, fat foot" sang Maddie as we stomped through Walnut Park on our way to Our Best Friends this morning...
No more Cone Zone?
"I can't stand it any more!" exclaimed Maddie. "I'm gonna go nuts if I have to keep wearing this cone..."
Feet!
"Guess who's got four fuzzy feet and no bandage," says Maddie. "Give up? It's me!"We expected Maddie's penultimate "christmas Foot" follow-up with Dr Kat this afternoon to be a simple bandage change. We'd even joked with Mike and Stephanie, as Jennifer picked Maddie and me up from Our Best Friends, about the color of the [...]
Finally, A Walk
It was a nice enough day that Maddie and I finally got out for a walk. A walk, in this instance, being defined as me carrying her, bandaged paw in a rubber-banded Ziploc baggie to keep it dry, up to Walnut Park to do her business, and then over to Our Best Friends to say [...]
