We had fun on Saturday, getting blueberries and going to see "Cars" (even doing a little racing before the movie started). Click for photos!

The Real Dog Whisperer

Michael Ossenbeck, who teaches the dog training classes we take with Laika, is featured in this article from Fetch. We're planning to take the intermediate class that starts up in July. Laika loves it and it's been great for us, too.

Camping Trip

We had our last "Basic Obedience" class with Laika on Saturday and celebrated by leaving right afterwards for a night of camping at Hendy Woods with John and Kirsten.

We're happy to report that Laika seems to love camping (especially since it's her chance to sleep with us)!

Uncle Steve has photos here, too!

Odds and Ends

Bits and pieces from Miller Manor....

The girl who introduced us to Laika, Mariah Mountanos, was recently featured in the local pet paper, Fetch.

This morning on our walk, we found a little garter snake in the street. We moved him over to the nearby grass, but it was pretty cold and he was pretty sluggish. On the way back from our walk, I scooped him up, took this photo, then let him go in the yard, under a bit of grass where I hope he was safe from the local crows.

Sometimes our cats show a dry sense of humor, especially puns. Steve noticed this cat pun this morning..."underdog"....

What's the blurry thing behind the branch here? That's a baby Red-tailed Hawk!

Here's some of the reasons I get to have a site called auntt.com...we were all happy to watch hometown hero Sam Hornish win in the exiting last moments at Indy -- I was surprised we didn't see some of Redwood City's finest at the doorstep after all the noise we made! These were taken during some quieter moments...

And, finally, we can't resist yet more Laika photos -- being cute on the chair with her rope chew, and a couple of shots from dog training class.

This is AuntT, awash in a sea of kleenex and Claritin allergy tablets, over and out...
