Photos: Thanksgiving and dog pictures

~ dannyhong ~ Leave a comment

As has been a tradition for a few years now, Jen and I opened up our home’s doors to those of our friends that did not go home and/or to see family for the Thanksgiving holiday.  So instead of listening to awkward lectures and reasons why I’m living my life like an imbecile, I instead have the company of less judgmental friends, and we dine just like the majority of Americans do on Thanksgiving – with a big fat turkey, and tons of fatty rich sides, and then we play games all night long.

Oh, and I was also taking a lot of pictures of my dog in his awesome shark costume.

Dogs get the itis too

Dog eats big meal, dog gets the ITIS, dog goes to sleep.  Happens to the best of us.

I know there are a few people interested in the photos taken over the July the 4th 7th party.  But you’ll have to excuse the slower turnaround time these days, because of my fancy-schmancy aZn creeper DSLR camera, I’m shooting in RAW, and it takes a considerable bit longer time to process all the pictures and get them up online.  But I’ll be posting them fairly soon, so hold your got-damn horses.

I definitely have jury duty tomorrow, and I am none to pleased by that development, so once that bullshit is out of my hair, I’ll hopefully have the adequate time needed to finish the rest up.

So in the meantime, endure the dog pictures.

Since the unfortunate departures of the other two dogs back in October and December, the house has been a little on the quiet side.  Now I’ll be the first to admit that there was a sense of liberation at not feeling the obligation that either one of us needed to be home as soon as possible, but there was also a void left behind by having a home with zero dogs in it.

Celebrating life, instead of mourning passing

A day later, it’s beautiful outside.  One of the nicest days in ages, in spite of the changing of the seasons, and the sporadic rainfall had in Atlanta over the past weeks. The heavens must have been appeased by a most worthy addition received last night.

Jen and I both knew this day was eventually going to come, but in spite of it, nothing ever really could prepare you for when that time comes.  Even in dog years, Nikki was pushing the boundaries of mortality, exceeding 19 human years; regardless, knowing the end is closer doesn’t make it any simpler for when the end does arrive.
