I am worn the hell out. Vince and I have been in the yard since 8:30 this morning and just called it a day even though we aren’t nearly done. We mowed, and the yard looks amazing. We also planted three Yoshino Cherry trees and one of the Maples. We still have to cut down two cedar trees, plant the other maple, much and tie them off to the stakes we hammed into the ground.

When mowing, we saw a bunny had made a home in part of the tall grass, but something found them because there was a dead baby bunny rabbit no bigger than the palm of your hand lying nearby. There was fur everywhere. We burried it under one of the Yoshinos and pledged to name that tree whatever the Japanese translation is for “sleeping bunny.”

Mimi and Trudy watch me tweet on the Twittertubes.

The vet warned us that they’ll start loosing their baby teeth. This morning, Vince found Mimi and Trudy licking at the carpet and found this tooth! We’re not sure whose it is, but Vince thinks it’s Mimi’s.

I just set up a Flickr account and promise to put up more photos of the girls. I’m debating on upgrading the account. Anyone have advice on using Flickr? Is it worth upgrading? What I love about it is how very widget and RSS friendly they are. They even have geo-feeds for geo-mapping photos.

Vince cleaned the dogs’ area in the kitchen, and we later gave them a bath. Here’s some video. Not sure if it’s just me, but the video looks a little jumpy. The girls were starting to smell like their litter box. Mimi and Trudy have grown so much since one of their first baths. This time we filled the bath tub and washed them there.

Mimi and Trudy argue over a bone in this video as Chris Mathews talks about Hillary Clinton’s win in the Nevada caucuses Saturday.

OK, the live webcam is now in the upper right on this page. The camera is 8 year old and is the same camera I used when I created this website in 1999. It’s time for a new one. More and more I’m missing my babies while at work, and I want to be able to watch them from anywhere.

So, I need your help if you’ve been through this with more modern webcams. I’m looking for a good wireless webcam that auto adjusts for low light, allows for manual focus and can ftp a still image to the web so you all can watch the puppies, too. If you have suggestions, can you drop them in comments?

Vince found a treat Mimi and Trudy respond to. The only problem is we had to go through about 5 different brands. While he was out Friday, he picked up a couple of shirts for the girls. They’ve been running around naked since Christmas.

I shot this using a green screen for the first time, so this was a good test. I clearly need to get way better lighting.
