Black magic

Yeah, it's been a long time, I know.

We went to Chicago last weekend to find an apartment to live in while I go to Kellogg. If you want to see pics of the trip, check this album out. As for the apartment, you'll have to email me. It's pretty awesome, though. And the really cool part is that it's 3 blocks from the lake, perfect for walking dogs - something that's going to be a frequent thing with no backyard. I'm actually a little worried about the dogs in the winter... What happens when it gets to sub-zero temperatures? Does their urine freeze on the way out? I hope they tolerate it, else it will be a pair of very tough winters.

Anyway, while we were gone this weekend, Chili stayed with some friends. He was his normal self, eating everything, but all in all very behaved. He did pick up a new nickname, though. "Black Magic". Apparently, there was a piece of cake on a coffee table, and he walked by and ate it without breaking stride. The quickness gave him the name, but the quote of the weekend had nothing to do with cake. Chili inherited my bladder - he can hold it comfortably all day without discomfort. He went outside over the weekend, and our friend's dad exclaimed, "Black Magic can pee for over a minute!" That's my boy!

Now both dogs are slugged out, as usual. It's tough being a dog.
