A Day in the Life of Pippin

Brent took off work today to run a ton of electrical wire into various places of the kitchen. Our electrician neighbor planned out enough lighting and plugs to make our kitchen look like Christmas 24-7-365. As you can see Pippin really wasn't much of a helper. I had told him to take over my job of handing off necessary tools and yelling back/forth between the kitchen and underneath the house. I think he's going to be fired.

Pippin, sitting on the deck waiting for unsuspecting runners/walkers to go by that he can race:









Napping on the deck after stalking runners/walkers:











Stalking more runners/walkers:










More napping/sunning:











Watching kids going to school:









And guarding the perimeters of the yard (he's waaay in the back of the 2nd one):









It's a tough life being our dog. It's a good thing he's resting up for Phog's visit next weekend!!! I've been trying to teach him Phog's name by asking him if he's excited about Phog coming to see him. He knows I'm trying to tell him something exciting, but he's not quite sure what it is. Regardless I think it's going to be the cutest RBF meetup in history. Those pups are going to WEAR EACH OTHER OUT. Too bad we can't push them in jogging strollers together at the Country Music Half. How cute would THAT be?????

The plan for tomorrow: plumbing! Brent's dad is coming to help and we're going to move a few plumbing lines around and also re-lo the washer/dryer to a different room. And when we're done with the plumbing then we'll hopefully finish running the rest of the electrical. We should be done.....sometime in mid 2008. We've been to Home Depot EVERY day this week and one day we each went to separate ones! Geez.

Have a great weekend everyone!
