On Monday afternoon, we hopped in a cab and headed over to Leigh's apartment...

Leigh's building has a lot of stairs. The dogs can climb UP stairs, but they have trouble descending steep stairs and need to be carried down them (because of their midgety legs and long wienery bodies). Turns out that the easiest way to get both dogs downstairs for a walk is TO STACK THEM!

Leigh explained this to us and then demonstrated. "See? Stackable hounds!" Hahaha.

On the walk back home we noticed that the liquor store on Ave A by 4th St is incorporated as...

The cold Meredith had been fighting since we got home finally caught up with her. She had such terrible chills that she needed to wear my fur hat in bed. Look at that tan! I've never seen such a pretty sick lady!

On Wednesday morning I was walking to work through Stuytown when I heard a rustling up in the branches.
bird
A really large bird. (I think it was a red-tailed hawk?)

Well whatever it was, I watched it swoop down right in front of me and snatch a squirrel out of the grass a couple days later!

I SEE YOU!

Check out his hooked beak!

Hey CVS, what's with the weird celebrity-impersonators in your latest signage? This guy is like the weird love child of Keanu Reeves and Jimmy Fallon.

And if Matt Lauer isn't getting checks from CVS, he should be. Haha.

maddy, meredith
We're trying to train Maddy to stay out of the bed but it's really difficult because our bed is really low to the ground (and because she is really adorable). So ended our first month as married folks!

    just in fyi about my photo... you'll notice i'm holding a small laptop to my head. If you recall, i threw my phone down an elevator shaft in the midst of one of my many breakups with David and resorted to using the skype on my mini-laptop in lieu of a phone.
