Feature Friday: Barky

This is Barky. He is a Husky dog. He is named after a ghost my grandpa believed in when he was little, called "Barky kachamupapa." He is the grownup of our doggies and takes care of the puppies: Harold and Cookie.

He hangs out with Pig a lot because they are both mature.

Taking Turns on the Slide

This little Harold got firsties
Bear followed on with a run
FAO Schwartz Pig went backwards
And this Polly Fiber had fun
And this pig Francesca went "Whee! Whee! Whee! Whee!" all the way down.

Dog Show


Francesca is very fair and will judge the dogs impartially.

Feature Fri-ee Day-ee: Bear

This bear's name is Bear. Dave gave him to Maxine in college.

Bear is still a little bit wild after all this time. Sometimes as I'm headed out the door, I hear him saying, "They're finally gone! Now the party can begin."

Actually, I just hear "Rarr, Rarr", since he's a bear.

Bear is wearing a Chuy's button. Maxine likes Chuy's too.

Welcome Home



Look what I found when I arrived in the morning! A wonderful sight after a red-eye flight. Cookie even got me some chocolates with sprinkles on them, my favorite!

Stowaway

Looks like Casanova wanted to go on an adventure, so he stowed away in my luggage. Now he's in Carlsbad with me!

Pack Animals


The animals are helping me pack for a trip. How nice of them! And it looks like there's a stowaway.

Shh, don't tell!

Polly is holding Penelope, Harold is riding Barkie, Pig and Bear are just hangin' out, FAO Schwartz Pig is supposed to be watching Casanova but wants to see what's going on elsewhere, and Francesca is telling Cookie a secret.

Feature Friday: Pig


This pig's name is Pig. Pig has been with Maxine for several years, including College. Pig likes to hang out and just chill. Sometimes Pig has to be the grown-up and take care of the younger animals.

Treacherous Heights


Maxine again. It's hard to see, but Casanova is the vanguard.

Classic tableau

The Lion Monkey King


So when we make the bed in the morning, Maxine and I have to do something with all the stuffed animals who live there. We've started making little scenes with them, and it recently occurred to me that they were worth preserving. We'll also re-enact some of our favorites that we didn't get around to photographing before.
