Kai at the Dog Park

Kai loves to chase balls at the dog park. Here he waits for us to throw him one from his Chuck-it.

Kocho on the couch

Here’s a picture of Kocho gettin’ couchy shortly after she came to live with us in April, 2003.

Hmmm… let’s see here… nothing much happened in 2004…

We soaked up the rays in the Dominican Republic in April, attended the wedding of Sage’s fabulous uncles in Toronto in May, ate our way through France after going to our friend Sophie’s wedding in October, and then Sage and Gerri snorkeled with some Texas Republicans on a cruise to Mexico in November…

And this spring, with the help of some generous and very strong backs (you know who you are), we built a patio in our backyard and it turned out great. It was almost worth it. We’re sure after a few more barbeques and late summer evenings with a good book we just might step onto it without an involuntary back spasm…

So, we both worked hard this year, especially Sage, who successfully defended her dissertation on December 13th! So you can call her “Dr. Sage� from now on. Ben continues as Active Media Director at Planet Propaganda and enjoys his work as much as ever…

We adopted a second dog in May, a red male Shiba Inu named Kai and he’s our darling “Pupser Lupsers.� He gets along great with Kocho (“Koter Poties�) and only chases Kitty sometimes. But with two dogs and a cat, we found the humans of our pack outnumbered. So, we decided to do something about that, and the baby’s due in June!

Lots of love from Ben, Sage, Kocho, Kai, and Kitty
