My mom and I took Pluto to Swiftrun Dog Park today. Snow started falling. I wonder what my Aussie pup thinks of it all? Here are two pictures I took:

All smiles despite the cold…

Pluto was wet from snow, mud, and dog slobber from his friends at the park. I think he was glad to be back in the car where it was much warmer.

On November 4, 2008, we went to the polls. My mom has voted in the past, but usually by mail, so this was her first time doing it in person. We were excited to be a part of history.

Don’t you just love the fall colors in Michigan?

Our Halloween pumpkin has had bites taken out of it… Local squirrels perhaps?

Here is Pluto with his squeaky toy. The squeak actually only lasted a day. He still enjoys the toy, though.

My dog has been mopey as of late in the evenings. I treated him to a day at the park this afternoon and so instead of being mopey, he is currently fast asleep much earlier than his usual bedtime. He played with some new buddies - Fido and Miami - today and swam in the river. My mom was kind enough to give him a bath after we returned.

It’s raining now…

I watched the film “Dan in Real Life” this weekend. It was pretty good.

Election Day is going to be here soon!

Quotes of the Day:

“The point is not to become a leader. The point is to become yourself, to use yourself completely–all your skills, gifts and energies–in order to make your vision manifest. You must withhold nothing. You must, in sum, become the person you started out to be, and to enjoy the process of becoming.” - Warren Bennis

“The chief purpose of a liberal arts education is to give students bullshit detectors that run all the time and rotate 360 degrees.” - Professor Chris Pyle, Mount Holyoke College
