I bundle up with a million clashing layers on in order to walk the pup.

Ben's favorite game to play is "puppy in a blanket."

My favorite game to play is "cuddle cuddle cuddle."

First night of Chanukah. Ben got me to light the candles. I was TIRED.

Good game of fetch!

I figured class might get cancelled when this snow plow repeatedly got stuck on our street:

So, for our snow day, we walked about three miles round trip from our friend F's house so that we could play with Ollie in his backyard. It turns out that my snow pants are only waterproof in some spots:

Mid-afternoon walk with Ollie in College Woods

Ollie likes to steal the floor of his crate and try to destroy it.

At a study date yesterday, my friend A left this pen here... Nice pen.

These mushrooms came with a hair sealed into the package. Ew!

Ollie was an absolute adolescent terror before we went out this evening, but we took him out when we got home around 11 pm for his first walk in the snow and he LOVED it!

Ollie met an evenly matched tug of war partner, and then said, "Mom and dad, why don't you ever tug of war with me?" to which we answered, "Sorry, Ollie, but you wouldn't know when to stop."

Dressed up pretty today.

Bring your favorite take out night at Thursday night dinner. Good break from writing.

Chillest little dog ever. Too bad Ollie didn't come and try to eat his head again...

The spray bottle no longer works to stop Ollie from being bad. Unfortunately, it seems as if this device (can with coins in it) doesn't work either.

Here he is relaxing after a long day of driving us crazy:

Ollie's as tired of picture taking as I am.

Home at last.

Ollie and Sandy: love at first sight.

P.S. Ben's birthday! Happy birthday, Ben!
