The House that M Built

While the roads were visible in Kalamazoo over the holiday break, it was a different story elsewhere in Michigan.

Everyone talks about a white winter, but I think they will be asking for a little less white in 2009.  Over the past week, several winter storms have bombarded the area, making it impossible to travel for several days.  Fortunatly for me, I was able to travel back safely to my parent’s house in Whitehall, where the scene was far different from that of Kalamazoo.  Snow back home had fallen so much that it was hip high in the back yard.  I watched in humor as my pup Keifer would try to walk ontop of the snow only to sink well below the top multiple times.

As for Christmas I received some very useful items to help me along now that I’m a career man and plan on doing some traveling in my spare time, as well as some things more for entertainment.  I hope everyone else’s holiday was marked by some joyous occassion.

Keifer, a Yellow Lab and American Bulldog Mix, turns 6 months old today.

I remember that first day I saw the ad for Keifer on Craigslist.  I knew that moment that he was the dog I was looking for, and I wasted no time going to get him.  After emptying the little I had left in my bank account (and going without for a week) I picked up my lil’ guy, and got him the essentials to get started.  Today Keifer is half a year old, and well on his way to becoming one big dog.

Now I had some awesome dogs in the past, but I do have to say Keifer thus far has been the smartest of them all.  I’ve been able to give him freedoms that typically I’d give to rural dogs in the city, and he’s abided by the rules thus far (knock on wood).

I’ve got a couple treats coming to him next week for xmas, including his license.  So he should be a happy not-so-pup.
