Screen on the Green

We went to the Screen on the Green last night with some friends from J-street. They were showing Barefoot in the Park with Robert Redford and Jane Fonda. They actually came to the park and were supposed to introduce the movie but "Bob" (as Jane called him) made a short political speech and Jane plugged one of her charities (which is OK I suppose). I tried to take a picture but we were way too far back and it just came out fuzzy. How was the movie? We (and many in the audience) slept through much of it.

Wha.........?

Obedience Training

We took Abby for several hours of obedience training with GreytFriends, the greyhound adoption group we got her from. She did pretty well but still has a long way to go. Here are some training and graduation pictures.

May 25th 2004
We finally got a dog. Waaaaaaaaaaay back when we were living in an apartment (circa 1997), we decided to wait until we had a house to get a dog. No sooner had we bought a house than Jeb joined E&Y and started traveling regularly (along with Stacy who had been doing so for several years already). It's 2004 now and we're both finally in town and we decided to inaugurate our new house with a new pet - our first. After some consideration (and some compulsion) we decided to adopt a greyhound. Only 4 days after we met her, we brought her home. Osceola Linnea was the track name, which we changed (quite creatively I might add) to Abby. She's been both a pain in the butt and a joy and after two months, we can't imagine living without her. We're sure there will be too many pictures of her in this blog before long.

Asleep 

Sleeping Roach.

We hear from other greyhound owners that they often sleep this way. We didn't quite believe it until we saw it ourselves. Yes - she will fall completely asleep this way and even start twitching if she's dreaming.
