Mac made the trip home with us overnight. He was a great car traveler - he never once forced his way into the front seat like Bailey does. No barking or whining, and no accidents in the car. His first day in Grandma and Grandpa's house has been fine. He loves the doggy door and him and Bailey have had a lot of fun racing in circles outside.
He has yet to see the World's Largest Pheasant, and we didn't take him to the Corn Palace either. Otherwise, being at Grandma and Grandpa's house on Ravine Lake is the 3rd coolest thing to do in Eastern South Dakota!

Dog Update 4
Mac made it through today with no problems again. We think he is past his sickness and whatever anxiety he had from moving into a new place with an established alpha dog.
To honor Mac's rich history with us, I am going to post a picture that Tom put together for us. He titled it Dogforce 1, but I think Brent came up with a much better name, Air Force Deuce.
Barring any catastrophes tomorrow, Mac seems to be cruisin' for a cruisin'... Right down I-90!

Photoshops of Air Force One
At the National Review Online, they had the same idea I did, and some readers submitted some photoshopped pictures. Check it out here.
Dog Update 3
Mac had a great weekend. He was even left out of the cage for a few hours on Sunday while we went down to Aurora (Wayne's World! Wayne's World! Party Time! Excellent!) to go to a home show. When we got back, all that seemed out of place was that Sheila's sandals were now on the couch, and one of the curtains on the front window had migrated over about a foot. No accidents and nothing broken. Not too shabby!
Today, Mac and Bailey went to get furcuts. He was great in the car ride and the groomer said he was good for her, which was a relief. When I went to pick them up, they weren't barking and he didn't soil his cage there either. Ahh, the little things in life!
I will post pictures soon of the freshly shorn siblings. Mac seems to be alot better in the last several days and he seems to be gaining weight finally. So maybe we're out of the woods and now we can concentrate on just having a puppy instead of a sick dog.

Dog Update 2
So Mac is still under our ownership. He had a good day on Friday and throughout the weekend so he received a stay of kennel return. He seems to be gaining weight and his "movements" have become regular and are happening outside of the house, which are both good things. He did have a minor tinkle accident last night, but it was on the tile and therefore easy to clean up. The secret to no cage number 2 accidents seems to be not giving him water while he is in there.
Tomorrow, he and Bailey are going to get furcuts. And, if he makes it through the next few days without dropping deuces throughout our house and his (the cage), he just may have won a round trip ticket to visit SD!
More to come!

Hey Government, Meet Photoshop
So today, the White House ran a "mission" with one of the airplanes that become Air Force One when President O gets on it for a ride. This "mission" was to fly low over New York City near the Statue of Liberty with 2 fighter jets trailing taking pictures to "update their file photo" of Air Force One. They wanted to get the Statue of Liberty in the background of Air Force One in flight. The mission was kept secret, with the FAA and New York authorities knowing on a "need to know" basis, which didn't include the mayor of the city.
To anyone with half a brain, it should have been apparent very quickly that this exercise would be construed as another potential attack. Understandably, they are still quite skittish in New York City when it comes to planes flying low near the buildings.
So, to recap, the White House, in this economy, decided to spend hundreds of thousands (if not millions) of dollars to run a flight that scared the crap out of people just to capture a photograph that could have easily been done by some high school kid with mediocre photoshop skills.
Here is my first attempt using MS Paint, the crappiest of all crappy drawing programs:
Now just imagine what you could do with a real graphic program like Photoshop and some really good stock photography of Air Force One and the Statue of Liberty. I'm sure the government has access to all three of those things. But no, it's much better to just go take a picture of the real deal, not tell anyone, and put Lower Manhattan into a panic.
Way to go!

Dog Update
Mac had a good day today. No accidents so far, but there are a few hours left in the day.
We have decided to rename him. His new name is Number 2. We also tossed around the ideas of McCrappin and McPoopin. Number 2 was the winner because of the Austin Powers reference.
