Home again

[furtech]

Finally home again after what seemed like a month (but was only two weeks): I left L.A. for Indiana on the 12th, got back to L.A. on the 15th, then (after a load of wash) drove up to SJ on the 16th.

The Indiana trip was related to finishing a project so that it could be delivered on time (it turns out that shipping -me- there was cheaper than shipping the project to me). The SJ trip was my monthly foray into the Green Zone of family politics and the elderly. I drove in last night, did a dogwalk and pretty much crashed. I'll catch up with posts and posting later.

In the meantime, have a picture of a kitten and a dog:



The cat was in Indianapolis (showing what happens when you put a box down for one-second); the dog is a miniature Australian shepherd (fantastic breed and an adorable dog) that I met at the training seminar I squeezed in between Indiana and family stuff.

I've met several mini Aussies and they've all been adorable, smart dogs. They're not like the miniature huskies ( Klee-Kai huskies (http://www.akkaoa.org/)), which have a personality somewhere between a Shiba and a Pomeranian (small-dog-brain). In a lot of ways they act like (and from their history probably are) runt-Aussie shepherds.

Not only did you get a full-size BC, but you managed to get the biggest body-type: the long, lanky BC. (And you also have Jake, who almost gets into the miniature horse category). Taiko is a sleek, smart animal: lots of work, but what a fantastic dog!
