call me up if you're a gangster




Well, this is Sydney Bristow. Remember way back in the first post or two when I mentioned Alias? My level of obsession has not waned in the least. I've got a Brennan and now a Bristow. I'm set for life.

Bristow is very easy to work with and she's pretty much a bad ass, per her onscreen persona. It's like having my own Jennifer Garner.

Oh! I have an idea, sometime soon, I'll make a post about dog houses.

As for now, I'm out of ideas. I do believe I'm going to work on clicker training Eve tonight.

That is all.

baby, you're a firework



Gus(daddy)



Moon (mother)



Little EV

Eve is eight weeks old. Eve is half Border Collie and half Eurohound. Eve is adorable!


To begin, let me say that her momma is a lady and her daddy was a rammlin' man.

But really, Her mommy dearest is a great little cow dog who is very docile and social. Her daddy dog is out of Egil Ellis and her aunt on that side ran ONAC and Rondy last winter. Eve is the perfect mix!

She'll be an Everything dog, in every sense of the word. I have no doubt that she'll run, and she seems to have a pretty good toy drive. She's very focused on me already, so I've got big plans. Big plans for this little monster!

at least there will be plenty implied

Dear December, where have you been all my life? I've missed you more than I'd miss my own liver if it were traveling around the black market somewhere without me.

I'm pretty happy that you brought that really cool guy, snow, along with you. He's badass....for a guy and all.

Now, here's where I'm confused. Today is Wednesday. Tuesday, it was 50 degrees and rainy. By this morning, it was 23 and snowing, yet no one could figure out why their cars weren't stopping.

So, I'm going to risk sound really sappy here and say I may or may not love my job. I'm also going to risk sounding like an arrogent ass hole and say I may or may not be pretty damn good at it. What is my job, one might ask? Well, I could tell you I train wildabeasts to long divide and I save nuns, puppies and innocent children from flaming vehicles by day.....and by night I'm a ferris wheel mechanic with six wives and a knife-throwing act alongside the managerie.

Yes, I could easily say that....but it wouldn't be entirely true. If I told you this, you might doubt it at first and then slowly begin to realize that was my OLD job. I rarely do those things these day.

You see, as of late, my boss and tax forms call me an editorial assistant. I tend to agree with them. Let me just tell you what I'm editing. It's a magazine. It's a dog magazine. In the end, if you want a straight answer, I edit and design articles for three different dog publications.

An even shorter version is that it's my dream job. I guess that's all you really needed to know in the first place.
