I had dinner with Karin Beitel tonight. It was wonderful to see her -- and she's going to come with me to a party tomorrow night. Most exciting is that I had shrimp for dinner.

Pictures

Of Asher -- on my Yahoo pictures.

Eventually Karen is going to add some on also.

Enjoy.


He's still marvelous. Last night was the first time he didnt poop during the night. And he slept through the night. Karen was very appreciative of his decision to do this.

We took him to breakfast with us this morning, figuring he would sleep through it. Not only was he awake and rambunctious, but he made a pee pee on the floor of the restaurant. (it was the shakshuka place) Silly guy.

He's received a clean bill of health from the doctor, has had his flea spray, and is lovin' life. Tonight we see if he can sleep at Karen's....

update

we've been pretty busy here.
here are some pics of the boy -- in his bed, playing in his bed, getting carried around by karen...and his new toy -- i have pics of them playing together also.
ill start a folder on my yahoo pics tonight so i can put pics in there for you all to see what's going on here.

enjoy

Asher

Forgot to explain the meaning of his name:

Asher is one of the 12 sons of Jacob - a brother of Joseph (the one with the amazing technicolor dreamcoat). Thus, one of the 12 nations of Israel
The root asher in Hebrew means happy

Garbayim is "socks" in Hebrew -- which his mom's owners called him.

So:
Happy Socks!

Side note -- the torah portion this week is about Joseph and his brothers.
Fluke? I don't think so.

Enjoy the pics - more to come soon.

the pup

Asher Garbyim Fraade
adopted 18 Dec 2005
Born 18 Oct 2005

doing wonderfully well and slowly getting accustomed to life on Sokolov.
we got him a leash which he isn't liking, at all.
clearly working to get him housebroken, but keep reminding ourselves that he's a baby and was just torn from his mama.

he loves sitting on my lap, he loves plapying with toilet paper rolls. he hates bedtime.

we're working on a vet appt but my call wasn't returned.

some pics for you to swoon over...
