Sharon's Birthday Dinner


We celebrated Sharon's birthday last night by going out to dinner and having a bit of wine. Sharon loves the dogs, but is especially fond of Teeca. We had a wonderful time, we ate at Red Stripe on Providence's east side.

Since we both are off work during the weekends, Jay and I like to sleep in a bit on Saturday mornings, especially after going out the night before. I don't really ask for much, for me sleeping in means getting up at 8am. Carlito, however, will have none of this. If I am not up and ready to serve his breakfast by 7am he begins frantically licking my feet, spastically jumping up and down, and even lets out a few low, short howls here and there. Since I am a light sleeper, he always gets what he wants.

Stuck inside



Unfortunately for all of us, while I am confined to a cubicle, Teeca and Carlito are confined indoors to dream of the hunt. We fill our pre- and post- confinement hours with running and walking, and generally make the most of our weekend outings, but Carlito has a particularly human way of peering outside to get a glimpse of what he might be missing.
