Tupelo Sighting: Champion

The Lawndale Presbyterian Church Youth Group Ultimate Uno Champion was recently spotted. She now only answers to Nighthawk, and will sign no autographs unless generously compensated.

Donkey Kong, Bowser, Mario

John, me, and Greg

2. Giving Winnie her birthday presents



3. My birthday breakfast from Kurty Poo


4. This dog I saw floating in my friend's pool


5. Graduates

My brother Ryan

My sister Brittany

My buddy Katie

6. Family

Granddad

The Coopers


7. Purses, apparently

Long story...

8. Dancing


A thing of beauty


I commissioned a painting of Winnie. My friend Kathryn Wiggins, a professional painter, did it for me. I gave her a picture, and she must be magic because it looks EXACTLY like Winster.

Let me know if you want her information for a painting of your baby (pet or human). She's great!

Product placement

After complaining about Winnie's atrocious normal shedding habit, my friend Amy suggested the FURminator! It's a metal-toothed brush shaped like a large razor, and it really grabs the dog's undercoat. Brushing Winnie used to be a battle, but she loves that the Furminator gives her a good scratch!

Got my game face on

Kurt furminating Winnie (yes, in our kitchen...now we do it outside)


This is the result! It works!!

This brush can be pricey, but I got mine for half price on Amazon.com. Let me know if you get one!
