My parents came up today to go out for dinner for my birthday/ father's day. On the way home, SteelyKid announced that she wanted to go to a playground. We explained that first we needed to go home and get Emmy, and then we would see about going to a playground.
On this morning's walk, a woman stopped me and Emmy to say that she recognized us from a picture.
We lost the Queen of Niskayuna tonight. Emmy had been having some health issues for a while, and while we were in Florida this past weekend she wasn't eating for the pet-sitter. We tried yet another new version of the new diet food today, with only limited success.
So, the big How to Teach Physics to Your Dog Photoshop contest concluded on Friday. We got five really good entries, and the judges (me and Kate) had a hard time reaching a decision.

Niskayuna, as in Niskayuna, NY? Can it be so?

I bow before the queen. Sorry for the double post. Trigger finger...

No time for Emmy, got three bellies of my own to rub when I get home. Blasted canine oppressors!
