a person in 1,563 photos maddy Packed up Maddy and headed to the airport to fly to Florida for Thanksgiving with my family. Met up with Gurj and we got lunch and massages on Saturday. Came back to mine afterwards to hang. WHY YOU WAKE IT? Maddy's face when I wake her up at 4am to see if she wants to get in bed with me. I sat there with our two aging dachshunds, holding my friends' ten-month old baby... Hike break! Hung out with Kev again later in the evening. Maddy always falls asleep on him in the cutest ways. Kevin came over on Monday for a hang and a much-needed reiki-trade. Then we loaded up the Wolverine and hit the road. Sunday morning hike with Maddy and Dreiss. Dog in a bag! Catrinel and Dreiss! Post-toof removal and sleeping off the anesthesia. Later that evening I went over to Meredith's for a hang! ...and decided to finish painting the trim in my hallway! ...and couch cuddles with my lil buddy. Back in NYC! Thai dinner... On Wednesday night, Susti and Kevin came over for reiki... On the way home, I stopped off in my hometown to visit Scott and his family! ...loaded up the ween into her travel basket.... ....to watch the McGregor / Mayweather fight. On Friday I hung out with Jane and Meredith. Maddy loves a fake grass mat. Maddy's face when someone is playing with her ears. Lol. Later that evening Cynthia came over for a hang. Brought Maddy over for a hang at Meredith's Maddy kept me company while I did some work in my office. Had a Monday morning snooze with this speckled cuddle buddy. On Sunday night Akiko came over for a visit and I gave her some Atoma a reiki treatment. My majestic sunbather. Maddy approves. lol After our walk, we loaded up the ween... Early morning hike on the mountain with Maddy... ...all buckled up... Ended the month with a reiki trade and a hang with Kevin. Happy July 2017! Meredith tries on a suburban hat. On Saturday, a bunch of us met up to take the train up to Croton for Fatty's birthday! Kevin came over later for a reiki trade, some BBQ and big ol honking bag of thick, white Volcano vapor. ...exploring La Plaza with Maddy. And then we ate too much BBQ and smoked too much weed. (Maddy's fave place to be is between someone toasty legs.) Evening reading with Maddy. Tuesday afternoon reading with my cuddle buddy. Ten days later I was back in NYC and headed over to Meredith's apt to pick up the ween. On Wednesday afternoon Meredith came over to pick up Maddy... ...with my bone-chewing, ankle-warming companion. Had a nice lazy afternoon hanging with Maddy. Celebrated Father's Day on Sunday with my favorite lil daughter. Such a happy fuzzworm! WHERE ARE YOUR PANTS THO? We explored the new plants on our walk. ...then Maddy and I hopped in the Wolverine and went exploring the trails on my property at HIGH SPEED! Rainy morning ween snuggles. She LOVED it! ...and loaded her up for her first ride up the mountain at HIGH SPEED. The land I bought is historic and was involved in an accidental skirmish between settlers and local natives during the French / Indian War. Settled 1754. Attacked by "Indians" 1755. George Brimmer is buried right on the edge of my property. Headed home with Maddy before the rain showed up. Way better than her city morning walks. Look how excited Maddy is. Lol. She loves waking up in the woods and cannot WAIT for me to get up and take her on a walk so she can be off leash and hunt chipmunks. Fucking little dachshund psycho! Is chilly. Can make a fire? Maddy loves exploring in the woods. After finishing work for the day, Maddy and I set out to explore the mountain! No more groceries ok, tho? Then hit the grocery store to stock up for the week! After getting everything unpacked, I put out Maddy's dinner for her and settled down on the couch. Maddy seemed really confused. She kept looking at me, "Wait, we live here now?" On Friday Maddy and I headed down to DC... Maddy loves to wake up and go on her morning walk, but some morning she just wants to cuddle a bit first. <3 I love when Maddy does that little chin resting thing when she sun-naps. On Sunday morning Meredith dropped off Major for a day of dogsitting so she could spend Mother's Day with her family. Major had a bit of a what you'd call a "leaky penis" problem so Meredith made him a velcro band with bananas on it so he wouldn't nervously dribble pee all over my apt. On Saturday morning Meredith came over with Major and she brought along matching Hawaiin shirts for the dogs to wear to the Washington Square Park Dachshund Meetup. (Maddy is always so bummed when I put her in any kind of costume.). "Dad, please take this off me." In the end, we decided to take them over in the NUDE! They were so happy to be walking crosstown together. Adorable. Long East River Park walk with Maddy. She always feels really guilty about "playing with them to death." I always have to tell her GOOD JOB! KILL THOSE MICE! And then she gets all proud and happy. Her little dog chin on my leg along with the sunshine usually puts me to sleep in about 3 minutes. Back at home, the pants come off for a nap with Maddy on the couch where we both enjoy the afternoon sun through the window. ...spent some time cuddling with Maddy like she likes. A Monday of being self-employed. Slept in and... Maddy lounges so casual in the mornings. Oh, hai there. Awww, thanks buddies. Great to see you all. Maddy in the morning, <3 Maddy's feeling were hurt. lol. She stuck around at my apartment to watch the hounds... On Saturday Meredith came over with her new wire-haired dachshund, Major! ...and will go back and forth chewing them both. Happy double-bone March 2017! Maddy likes to have two bones... Took Maddy for a walk and noticed the first signs that spring was on its way! Thank goodness! Sometimes when I'm on the floor foam rolling, Maddy will come over and just fall into my arms. "Hello, can you love me now?" Adorable. Still digging my Vin Ganapathy drawn bhavacakra mural! This one likes to be smashed under heavy pillows. Happy 37th birthday, Meredith! You're a good one! <3 I brought presents! Later that evening, Maddy and I went up to Meredith's to celebrate her birthday! Maddy couldn't keep her eyes open on the train ride home. ...with Matt to visit Ellen! On Wednesday afternoon I headed up to Grand Central and took the train up north.... Last day of the month! Took Maddy for a nice long walk in East River Park. On Sunday night Kevin came over to hang and trade reiki. Morning cuddles with Maddy makes the winter better. My funny Valentine.
