		<description><![CDATA[I was in Portland last week and was so busy with work that I didn&#8217;t get a chance to post several more - dare I say cute - pictures of Tyge, Echo, me, and Alix.
Alix and Echo goofing around:
 
Me and Echo. Echo has really grown. She&#8217;s sort of entering the big lug stage of [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[This afternoon, Tyge finally relented. He gave into Echo&#8217;s innumerable playbows, entreaties, kisses, etc., and he started to play. They played - hard - for a solid hour. Tyge of course, took pains to constantly remind Echo that he was the dominant alpha male. But Echo wasn&#8217;t intimidated - she kept coming at him and [...]]]></description>

Thursday night was the annual meeting of the Board of Directors of the Anchorage Concert Association. My two year stint as President officially came to an end as Annie assumed the presidency. It&#8217;s been a pretty darn fabulous two years and with [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Echo is fourteen weeks old today and she&#8217;s been with us for three and a half of those weeks. She is a bundle of spirited energy - Tyge, Peter, and I are all exhausted. I&#8217;m not sure that Echo isn&#8217;t a Jack Russell terrier in a Bouvier puppy&#8217;s body.
For the past few weeks, I&#8217;ve started [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[A gorgeous afternoon in Anchorage today. Peter, Tyge, Echo, and myself spent some quality time on the deck in the late afternoon (actually we were killing time waiting for 5:00 PM so we could head off to the Spenard Roadhouse for dinner in the sun on the patio).
Echo is growing at lightspeed. Last Friday, she [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Tygey and Echo spent the Noon hour on the deck. Another hot and sunny afternoon here in Anchorburg!
Hanging out in the shade - the heat is hard on furry dogs.
 
Echo would really like Tygey to play with her. She&#8217;s nosing a chewed up plastic pot towards Tygey.

		<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s official - raising a puppy, especially with a resident grumpy-old-man dog in the house, is almost as time consuming as a baby. Good grief. The last two weeks have been basically work and dogs. Fortunately, Echo is a ton of fun, Tyge is slowly coming around to Echo&#8217;s charms, I can work from home, [...]]]></description>

This afternoon, I was out with Echo on a leash and Tyge was also out. Starting this morning, Tyge has been solid enough that he&#8217;s come out with us and just keeps his distance. This afternoon, on one our innumerable Echo &#8220;go potty&#8221; trips, Tyge came up to Echo, gave [...]]]></description>

Well, at least Peter and I think she&#8217;s a massive cutie. Tygey wishes we could just stick a stamp on her and &#8220;Return to Sender.&#8221;
She is ten weeks old. Bright, energetic, playful, a big time lover, etc. Oh, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Last evening, Tygey and Echo spent more time together. Well actually not really together together - Judy, Peter, or I were always holding Echo while Tyge got to sniff and investigate. This weekend or next weekend, we&#8217;ll do actual paws on the ground. We&#8217;d better by next weekend - that&#8217;s when Echo is coming home [...]]]></description>
