Waiting patiently....

Robins are singing outside, and I'm getting impatient for Laura to take me birding again!

Pip got to see her LIFER Thayer's, Iceland, and IVORY Gulls on New Years Day—her lifelist is now up to 244! The Ivory Gull has made front page news in Duluth two days in a row now, and we were sort of at the epicenter of some of the news. I wrote about the exciting saga on my own birding blog.

It takes a village...

...to raise a puppy! My treasured birding friend Pat Thomas arranged with Joanne Elliott, owner of Matilda's Dog Bakery and Boutique, to make this lovely concoction for Pip's first birthday. Pip approves!

Pip's curious!

This many years old!

Oh, dear--she can't wait!

Pip models a new fashion!

My Aunt Rosemary's friend sent some outfits for Pip. Here she models one. These photos were taken on November 16, right after she was groomed.

Pip disapproves of having to wear a dress.
