Man and his friend

Last weekend we went to the beach in Litchfield by the Sea and Amy snapped this very nice image of Pete and I strutting on the beach. Pete though is not crazy about the water and long walks are not going to happen either. But he is so adorable and sweet.

My name is Pete and I am cool

Pete is looking very stylish in his limited edition blueseventy goggles as he is heading to the Central YMCA pool here in Winston-Salem.

A day in the park

Here are a few impressions of Pete's day in the dog park in Winston-Salem.

So many rules, so little time



Wow, so many dogs to play with



As long as you just sniff me...



Finally someone to dominate, yeah

Introducing Pete

This week we adopted Pete from our friends Paul and Anita. I think they planned on having only 2 dogs but ended up with 4. Pete for example was dropped off at their house 2 years ago for a "couple of weeks" and never picked up again. Pete lost his front right leg after an incident with a car, but he gets around just fine.

Exhausted after the 6 hour transfer from Chattanooga



Hanes Park is just down the hill from us and offers lots of things to see



Wow that walk was tiring



Hello world, I am Pete

A weekend in Chattanooga

Last weekend I traveled to Chattanooga to close on the house on Missionary Ridge, but the buyer was missing some paperwork and the whole thing got delayed. I still went anyway as Amy was getting ready for her boards in Nashville and I was going to be home alone in Winston Salem either way. I got there Thursday night and stayed with Anita and Paul and their 4 "kids" Belle, Brodie, little girl and Pete. On Friday I got some work done and the time originally scheduled for the closing was now open and I went to see Jill's "adventures on a pony." I had not seen Martin, Janelle and their kids since mid July and it was amazing to see how much the girls have grown. Friday night Anita, Paul and I met up with Rick and Mary Loggins, Pat and Kleehammer, Mike Madzin, Susan Mietling and a few other folks at Big River Grille downtown and it was nice seeing everybody. Saturday Morning Paul, Anita, Belle and I ran the Big Daddy trail on the side of Lookout Mountain and Rick Loggins joined us for a bit early on, and George Hovanec ran the last section with us. That night we went to the black tie event at the Hunter Museum and with several hundred people gathered there, we had plenty of people to make fun off. Sunday after a nice breakfast at the Blue Plate and a short visit to Martin and Janelle I headed back to Winston Salem and managed to make it in 5:05. :-)


Mmmm ice cream. Life is good for Bex.




Jill is growing like a weed.




A visit to Chattanooga without a trip to Big River is hard to imagine




Anita is ready to run the infamous Big daddy trail run in Chattanooga




Rick ran with Paul and I for a while, but he is still nursing a back injury and couldn't join us for "all the fun."
