The first present came in

We decided to have all the registries send our packages to my work address. If a crate and barrell box sat on the front porch I have a sneaky suspsicion that one of the local crack heads would swipe it.

Anyway - I got my first Crate and Barrell box today. It has been lifted, hefted for weight, gently shook for substance and I think it's silverware or the polker set.

Durring our walk last night, Zippy started to get sketched out about a trash can. We looked over and there was a mouse circling the trash so we let Zippy get closer to catch the scent of the mouse. Big mistake. Apparently, Zipp-o-potomus'es are not only good at catching bunnies, baby birds and bugs.... they are good mousers. He zipped after the mouse- running through Rob's legs and getting him all cought up in the leash and actually caught a mouse on the run. Rob grabbed Ziop and pried his mouth open then shook his head untill the mouse fell out of his mouth and before either of us could grab the mouse off the ground - Zippy hit the deck and grabbed the mouse in his mouth again.

We finally shook the mouse out of his mouth but the entire thing was so funny we laughed the entire walk home.
