snow day!
Winter has officially arrived. Down here, its arrival is marked by the day I get to work from home because there’s too much snow and too few plows. It happens every year. When it snows here, the roads stay covered. Small-town desert communities are ill-equipped to handle such excessive offerings from the weather gods. Though, maybe since this is the third year in a row with so much snow, city officials will finally take note and buy more plows. But in the meantime, I don’t mind occasionally working from home, and playing with the dogs in their favorite form of h2o. We got two snow days in a row! I felt like a kid again!… even though I still had to work : (
introducing Trevor!
Molly got a new foster dog. Unlike me, Molly is actually capable of actually fostering. Trevor is a massive black lab mix… with great dane, or hound? We are not sure! What we do know is that Trevor is super skinny. He eats 7.5 cups of food A DAY and still his ribs stick out. He lost the weight because Dogtown stresses him out more than most. He needed a foster home where he could blossom and gain weight, so Molly took him. He joined us for a nice hike on Sunday and another today. He is happy and likes his new girlfriends. Now he just needs to pack on the pounds!

Some friends and I have been hiking our dogs every day for the past month or so (with the exception of work travel and overly sore muscles from overly ambitious hikes), but I haven’t really been posting the photos. Now that my book is done, and my new shots are not inside of it, I figure I should post more of them here. So here are a few from last night and the night before…
And yes, that is Haley taking a piss up there, but she’s just so cute I couldn’t resist…
big news in book land
I wrote a book! Well, wrote isn’t exactly the right word… there’s only one page of text. But, there’s 69 other pages full of photos! It is self-published and I entered it in a contest. Now I need your help to get to the next round, and maybe then I might have a shot at winning! So here’s the scoop…
My book is called Trail Tails and is chocked full of photos of dogs enjoying the great outdoors. Yes, you’ve seen a lot of the photos on this blog already, but there are so many others that I decided to keep secret until the book came out… maybe even some of the best ones! So now you have to go check it out, right? Don’t worry, I’m not asking you to buy it (but hey, if you want to, go right ahead!), but I need everyone who can to go and vote for it! It’s up to the public to get me to the next round! So if you could please spare a minute of your time, please go check out the book and vote for it if you like it. The entire book is viewable online!
You’ll have to sign up with Blurb.com to vote (literally only takes a couple seconds), but you might be glad you did, because it’s a really cool site that lets you create your very own bookstore-quality books, whether it be your first novel or a photo book of your Disneyland vacation. So play around with it, you might have some fun!
Here is the cover of my book! Click it and it will take you to the website to view the entire book online… and then vote for it and help give me a shot at winning! If you do, I will love you forever!
But wait, that’s not all… other big news is that later this week, National Geographic’s new book Dogtown comes out! Sadly, despite being on the television show, Haley is not in the book… but a few of my photos are! Super exciting times here in book land!
