Dog blog

'Tis Izzy above.  Or is that "Tizzy?"  Izzy holds court in DF & LBR Maggie's house up in Flagstaff.  Maggie & Steve are very proud parents and pamper and photograph Izzy.  We might have put Izzy on the blog before but we can't recall.  Maybe Maggie will remember.  Anyway, we've been meaning to put up a nice shot of Izzy In Action.  Maggie sent along this gem a couple of days ago.  It's a classic Puppy-At-Play shot.  Izzy is a yellow lab born 08/05/10 near the Holbrook Cholla Power Plant. She was the pick of a 9 puppy litter.  Maggie said yesterday that Izzy has already given up normal puppy behavior.  Get this, Izzy never ever chewed shoes or stole socks.  Izzy's nickname is Marbles because she tilts her head one way and after the marbles roll down, she tilts it the other way.  Congrats, Maggie & Steve on having a such a great dog that's going to bring much fun into your lives for years to come.  Cheers, jp

PS--Since this is a little shorty blog post, we figured we could sandwich in our weekly stats here as well as this odd factoid: this morning's low temp here a Straw House Central is COLDER than the morning low in Idaho Falls.  Odd, but true.  They are 30 and we are 21.  Amazing.

OK, here's the weekly stats.  Daily visitors held on to most of last week's increase.  Page views are also hanging at a higher level, too.  Length of visit backed off from last week's strange long duration but it's still well above the long term average.  Note that we cleared 8000 page views--probably just yesterday.  Amazing.
