Pupper Zika

Tell the truth: you miss this mutt's mug shot.  He misses you too.  This is a good shot of him sitting in one of the lawn chairs in the backyard like a little person.  He's probably clocked in, guarding the fence and yard from the neighbor dogs.  He takes his job very seriously.  Trooper loves being in Illinois and his family here.  He is still not taking his allergy medicine and has not had any skin issues since we left Oregon.  In general, he continues to be an angel.

I have had a great first week and a half at my new job.  It's keeping me busy and I am learning a lot of new skills.  Everyone is really nice and right now my commute is only ten minutes! 

Today seems to be the last day of hot weather in the forecast and then it looks like we'll be converting to more autumnal temperatures.  I think that will put me in the mood to start my fall and Christmas crafting for the year and to make things like pot roast. 

All right, readers.  I have to go give Trooper a kiss on the nose.
