Sister and Brother. What's up with this family?

This is my brother. Fierce.

This is my last post about dogs for a while. I promise. But since my sister was too sickly to photgraph when I was in Seattle here she is with her pups.

My latest acquisition

Okay, okay. DAVID BRAVERMAN took the black and white picture of me to the right, the picture of me and Weasel (I thought Anne took that one, actually) and the picture of me and Naomi with my red hair and Naomi's surprise socks.

Happy David?

Addition: Said photographer, David Braverman (sorry, no caps this time) just started his own blog.

He'll be writing about the
Weather
Anne
Software
Politics
(Can you guess the catchy acronym Anne came up with?)

This is Boo. Boo Who? The littlest pitbull.

By the end of the weekend, my sister will have been to the ER three times. She's gone twice already. The first time she was diagnosed with a kidney infection. The second time she was diagnosed with viral meningitis. Tomorrow, she's going to get a refill of Percocet. Apparently, if you want that stuff on the weeekend, you've got to go to the ER.

So I am sitting around watching movies taking pictures of the dogs with her picture phone.

Sleepless in Seattle? No, all the Princess does is sleep.

Did I mention that there are three pitbulls?

I am in Seattle visiting my sister, the Princess. It is raining. She has taken me to many fun places, including the Emergency Room.

My sister was not feeling well when I arrived. In fact, she was in so much pain last night that I had to drive her stick shift through downtown Seattle in rush hour traffic. I haven't driven a stick shift since doing it in Italy down a narrow (all streets in Italy are narrow, I guess), cobblestone street in heels.

So today, I watched Princess vomit as well as watched some movies. I made friends with her dog, Pilot who is a small dog. But her other "puppy", the 80 pound PITBULL got jealous of the small dog and wanted to cuddle up with me too. So here is a picture of Stanley (who is a girl dog) in my lap.

I didn't get the memo to wear pink for Niiiiikos' engagement party. L to R. Jamie Foehl, Mary Lupo, Mary's Husband Dave, Emily Lyon's husband, Nikos Adovasio, and Emily Lyons.
