Good Dog

Today, Katie Boes will no longer have to be in pain.

She was a very good dog. You always felt safe when she was around. She loved people and had no interest in other dogs. When we would go visit my in-laws and brought our dog along, Katie completey ignored Murray and always headed for us. She would greet you with a bellowing howl, then spend the next hour licking your pants, your hands, your arms, your face.

She loved food. All food. Sometimes it didn't even have to be food. Her favorite snack was tissues. The more used, the better. She just loved to consume. She would eat batteries, socks, sticks...she'd graze in the yard like a cow, munching on grass.

She was a good dog.

She will be missed.

We love you, Katie.

Where Have I Been?

17 days since my last post. Bad, Niki.

So, where have I been? Mainly, I've been sick..again. A cold followed by strep throat. So lame. So done with being ill. I blame the bus. The bus is a nightclub for all air born illnesses. People hacking into the open air. It's disgusting.

I also went on Cannonball Run. A one day road trip/rally/scavenger hunt put together by some friends of mine. We drove all along the Minnesota/Wisconsin border ending up in Black River Falls, Wisconsin. Along the way we made some chalk drawings, ate some snails, bowled, got someone in Winona, MN to act like Winona Ryder, took some photos of people of Walmart, hung out at a Fiberglass mold yard, and went to Laura Ingalls Wilder's birthplace...



This was my favorite stop. I'm a big big Little House fan.

Up next for me: Montreal. 10 year anniversary for the Husband and I.



It's Paris...In Canada.
