It's so weird having a 15-year-old sister who is so much cooler than I am. Oh, who am I kidding. Even my dog is cooler than I am.

I love Vinnie, but sometimes his beagle nose turns a 20-minute walk into a 6-hour walk.

Body Check

Every so often, Vincent will decide it's time to play "Body Check." He gets a running start, gallops straight at me, and then throws his body right into mine. And then repeats that a few dozen times. I don't know if he thinks we're playing hockey, or I'm a lot tougher than I look, or he's just trying to mess with me. I gotta watch out for that crazy look in his eyes.

Nothing better than reuniting with a dog that hasn't seen you in 4 days. It's such an ego boost. <3
