This rundown cottage is for sale.  It is very creepy, definitely a knock-down, but has over 200 feet of lakeshore

Rudi did remarkably well during Tropical Storm Faye. He knew that this wasn’t “normal” and also Julie had gone to great efforts to wear him down the day before. Fay came ashore due south from us in the middle of the night, and passed directly overhead before heading Northeast across State. We had near hurricane force winds and very heavy rains. In the pictures you will get an idea of what our front yard looks like after 7.75 inches of rain has fallen over a short period of time. Lucky for us Rudi doesn’t mind going out in the rain, unlike Hilda who is too demure to dampen her tooshie. We had the opportunity to show Rudi some water deeper than his play pool, but decided against it when we got reports that there was heavy pollution in the run-off (look who is standing in the polluted water…the big dummy). Anyway there wasn’t much damage except for some landscaping and we count our blessings that things weren’t worse. Peter

For weeks and weeks I had been promising Brittany that she could help whelp the puppies. As it turned out Mos needed some unscheduled surgery on the very day the pups decided to come into this world. So once again Tiffany was on puppy-whelping duty, by herself. The pups came quickly.  Mos came through his surgery like a trooper. In the whirlwind of activity, Brittany never got a call to come over.  Needless to say, I owed her big…..this is how I helped make it up to her:
