We are watching a dog for some friends of ours who are traveling. He is a ginormous 8 year old rottweiler named Rambo. He is the most laid back dog ever. We have discovered that Rambo has an active period during the day. It lasts about 3 minutes so you have to be careful to catch it. The rest of the time is spent sleeping on whatever surface he can stuff his body on. He is not supposed to go on the furniture, but you can see how well that turned out. Would you move that?
He is also the only dog I know that purrs. When you pat his head, he makes this noise that sounds like he is about to tear your head off. His mom Paula has assured me that this means he is happy and not about to kill you. So far...so good.
Rambo has discovered that he is the long lost member of the cow herd in our backyard. Normally, the girls are skittish and take off when we are around but they were fascinated by Rambo. They followed him when he was outside and gave him kisses. Perhaps he looked like a calf? He is about the same size!
We also discovered that Rambo and the pony CANNOT stand each other. They circle each other warily looking for an opening to nip at each other. Dunkin the donkey just watches them and honks at the top of his lungs egging them on. It is very noisy here on the funny farm.

Okay, so I've been showing Ethan your blog with all of the pictures of his cousins...even of Uncle Dan, when Ethan says to me..."well where is Auntie Lori?" So, sorry to say, but your face had best show up in some of these pictures otherwise you will have one disappointed nephew!! How's that for guilt :)
It is so wonderful to receive updates and pictures of you, Dan, Ian and Emma. You all look very happy! Who could blame you with that gorgeous countryside!
We are keeping our fingers crossed that we will be able to have an "energy brother" reunion next summer!
All best!
