So you're one day older today then you were yesterday...

Here's a picture of The Left blowing out the candle on his double-chocolate-fudge-more-chocolate-monstrosity-of-a-birthday cake at Ruth Chris over the weekend. This is just about the face I'd expect The Left to make when I shout at him, "WAIT, LET ME TAKE A PICTURE" (he held this pose for a good 10 seconds while we waited for my camera to load flash):



And yes, that IS water in the background. But don't worry, The Left hasn't lost his touch. There's an empty jack-and-coke glass just outside of view.

In other news, Red's been having a hard time adjusting to the new place. It could be the hardwood floors or his heavy-footed canine frenemy upstairs. His peak barking hours have been between 4am and 5am, although he doesn't really discriminate against 2am or 6am either. Poor guy - what is it Red?

Birthday, Schmirthday!

Birthday wishes and caviar dreams to The Left as today marks the 24th anniversary of his birth. Humor and wit escapes me at the moment but incriminating post-birthday pictures and clever remarks to follow shortly...

Happy birthday. Get ready for sandwich.

The thing is...

The thing that The Left "forgot" to mention regarding the cat harness fiasco was that it was 10:30pm on a Tuesday night so my only option was to go to Ralph's and rummage through their pet supply section. And although their selection was not up to par according to The Left's very high standards, I only had Red's best intentions in mind. I mean, come on. Wouldn't you do anything for this guy?

he's a dog not a CAT.

Red has been walking around with his tail between his legs, maybe it's because "the way left" got him a cat harness instead of a dog harness after he ate his last one for lunch on Monday.

weekend roundup

In the distance i hear CHIP Noooooo! so i turn quickly to see an 8 year old red headed boy running after his dog Chip, who is coming right at us, i drop to a knee and scoop Chip up off the ground before he just tackles Red. I'm holding Chip waiting for the little boy to put the leash back on him, and i hear the saddest crying noise and howling that i have ever heard so i look back and Red is so jealous he doesn't know what to do with him self it was so cute and sad at the same time.. It took Red a solid 15 minutes to forgive me. I think the puppy biscuit did the trick. About 5 minutes before all of this excitement we meet the little red headed boy and his white dog Chip. Chip was walking the boy down the street and then Red and Chip started running around in circles playing and what not and then we were on our way. And then the excitement happened, well atleast Red has one new LA friend.

Get well soon, Uncle Skip!

Red would like to send a special get-well wish to his transcontinental uncle, Skip. "Get some rest, Uncle Skip," Red was overheard saying. Here's a fine example of Red doing just that:



In other news, I've been tinkering with the old camera, following Red around the house taking (not-so) candid shots like this one:

Great content. Not so great lighting...

The two babies "playing" together.

Check out how "the left" nonchalantly slips his arm back in at the end. Classic.
