Hello blog!

Wow, it's been a whirlwind past few weeks.  School started, and I am knee deep in dissertation writing.    I have an awesome class this year, but there is so much to do at the beginning of the year.  But my sister was pushing me to get back to my blog, and here I am.  Here is what Spock has been up to:

Walk for the Animals

Today Mr. Logical got to play around with two of his favorite things, ham radio and cycling.  We went to the local SPCA's Walk for the Animals, where our local ham radio club volunteers at each station to radio for more water or dog biscuits.  Mr. Logical got to ride his bike between all the stations, with a radio strapped to his handle bars.

Spock and I got to do the 5 mile walk, twice.  We went around once by ourselves, and then my sister came, and we went around again, plus down to the river, totaling about 11 miles.  Tired Spock out for about 2 hours after we got home.  He got lots of compliments on his backpack!

April

This picture depicts almost every aspect of our April so far.  It has been very tumultuous, and not just because Spock has eaten our couch.  We are hoping things calm down soon!

Settling in

So, Spock has been here for about five days, and he is settling in well.  He goes into his crate at night, and is super snuggly during the day.  He's doing pretty well on the leash, too.  We really lucked out, and can't figure out why he was at the shelter for so long.

Surprise!

All I asked for for my birthday was a dog, and I was pretty sure I wasn't going to get one.  Well, last weekend, somehow Mr. Logical and I got on the topic of dogs, went to the animal shelter, and picked one out!  Five days later, and Spock (what else would Mr. Logical's dog be named?) is home!

We are all so happy!
