Little Peter is 1 month old as of yesterday. It’s been a great month, he’s already changed a lot. He doesn’t want to build a fort or go fishing yet, but that’s cool I can wait a while for that stuff. He’s doing well and […]

A Gift from Orange
A year ago my dog Orange passed away. He was just getting into his prime, just a young, fit, handsome Dachshund. He was my best buddy and turned my whole family into dog lovers. It was tough to see him go, but he gave us […]
Day 18 Update
Everything is going well. I went back to work this week so Vanessa has been doing all the hard work with Little Peter. It was tough leaving him, but at least Vanessa emails me a few photos of him through out the day. We’ve had […]
A Man who Came for Supper
As a follow up to my post about the Peter name tradition, I thought I’d share a cool story about my grandpa Peter A. This was written by Leo Ruffing, my grandma’s brother. It’s featured in the book “The Forgotten” by William A. (Bill) Cummins In […]

We’re Home Now
We brought Peter home last night. It was a pretty great feeling walking out of the hospital with him. I almost teared up, but then I got all tough and made it out the door just fine. One day we were surrounded by doctors and […]
Finally an Update!
Hello friends, yes I know I’ve been slacking with the updates. My apologies. Things have been a little crazy. The new year has been very generous to my company and LP continues to be a handful so any free time has been spent sleeping or […]
