Snoring

So Rusty snores. And in the middle of the night, he wakes up and licks himself, which then wakes me up. If I act like I haven't woken up, everything is cool. Otherwise, I get yelled at to get up and let him out to go potty. Not at 2 in the morning. Not on your life. This isn't as mean as it sounds. He can hold it, he just thinks that me being awake is the signal that it's time to get up.

I really did catch this fish. My brother and I had a "Littlest Big Fish" contest this summer, and this was the winner. Second place was a 5-inch northern pike (caught by me, with no picture). Now I can look at this while I'm sitting in my house with snow outside, freezing, and remember how nice it is to be fishing in the sun in the warm summer. Even Rusty likes to ride in the canoe and go fishing. He has to be reminded not to get too excited when we catch any fish. Otherwise, he lies in the middle and sleeps. It's better than having him peeing and howling in the cabin.
