I just love TeeFury. This site offers a new shirt design for that day, and only that day…and then it’s gone forever…almost. Almost is because very now and then, they offer a grab bag day to clear out their inventory of remaining shirts. The shirts are only $6, you choose your size, and you can…

One week
It was last Sunday that Chewie threw up his food after finally eating a little, and I told Melinda that I thought he was sick. The next day she took him to the vet and began the little adventure I’ve been chronicling. It’s not even a week, really, though we’d been worrying a little over…
Chewie in Recovery
Or…The Adventure of Chewie Hutchison and The CONE of SHAME! On Thursday morning, I awoke to some terrible pain in my guts. I called in to work and took the day off. At first, I was worried that I was taking a sick day needlessly and it was just a little intestinal fit. I needn’t…
Gasp! Not Dr. Wertham!
Oh. Turns out Dr. Wertham lied in that testimony to Congress.
Chewie is out of surgery
Chewie’s anesthetic started around 4PM, and Dr. Corbin called at 4:10 to give us a final preliminary report before she started. At 7PM, she called us to let us know that his surgery went well. While they had him open, they did a test of a tiny scrape of his liver. The liver had appeared…
Chewie: Good news and bad news
The bad news: Chewie has cancer. The good news: It is on one of his two kidneys. Tomorrow, surgeons at the University of Minnesota will operate and remove that kidney, and so long as the cancer is confined to that one kidney, that’s the end of it. Short of “turns out Chewie just had a…
Please pray for Chewie
Our 3 1/2 year old standard poodle, Chewie, is in the hospital. He had had an eye infection 10 days ago, and our vet noticed that he had lost about six pounds. She asked us to keep an eye on his eating. After a week of his appearing listless and having little appetite, Melinda took…
Podcast 7: Our 2009 Christmas Gifts (Lost Podcast #1)
In January 2010, Erik Burnham and I recorded a fun discussion of what we had gotten for Christmas. And then, for reasons technical and personal, editing took forever and then they fell by the wayside…but were not forgotten! Just in time for Valentine’s Day 2013… it’s “What did you get for Christmas 2009?” This is…
Still cold
Man, is it cold in Minnesota. Too cold to walk Chewie for more than 5 minutes.
Obama Wins Reelection
An interesting thing about Democrat reaction tonight. NOBODY loves Obama. They just hate Romney. You know…I could understand the seething loathing from Democrats if we were running someone like Reagan-on-steroids, but in the last two elections our candidates were two of the most middling, almost-a-Democrat, reach-across-the-aisle non-partisans you could hope to find. One was a…
