How pathetic is my dog? Poor Barley wrecked his 'knee' when he tried to climb the stairs to our playroom, where Ross was hanging out on the computer. Seems John and I were gone and Barley got lonesome... Now he is wearing a cast (signed by Ross and I...) and he is spending all his time (when not caught up in sleeping...) trying to chew it off. To add insult to injury, he has to have surgery on Tuesday to remove a growth and then we will probably have to get out the cone, so that he won't worry it too much.
In other exciting news, I have 10 17-year-old boys over for an overnight birthday party for Ross. He does this every year. They eat a lot of pizza, play video games and capture the flag, and just have a great time together. But so much testosterone is daunting, to say the least.
O poor doggity! poor, poor Barley Dog! My heart goes out to him. My Finnegan jane has also been suffering a bit... had a little growth cut off her side on Friday. Just a local freezing and a few quick stitches and an embarrassing shaved patch... but still! Poor babies. Speedy recoveries all around!

Oh poor pup! I hope he recovers swiftly!
I have not played capture the flag in years, I used to love it!!

What a big time you must have had! We joke about the hormones but I think it is wonderful that your relationship with your son is such, that he would feel comfortable inviting all his friends. Not many parents of teenage boys can say that.
What a sad face on Barley!

Oh me oh my! You must have to buy A LOT of pizza! My three year old son eats a TON -- I can't imagine what he'll be like in 14 years! :)
And your illo below is just darling.
