A Night at the Deadwood Saloon

Here are some shots from a murder mystery birthday party we were invited to this past Friday night.  Our characters were father-daughter, which made for some entertaining exchanges.  

Brian ended up being the killer, partly because the man he killed had broken his daughter's heart.  It was a hilarious night, to say the least.

Bellying up to the bar

Reviewing evidence.  Doesn't he look guilty?  No one knew (Brian included) who the killer was until after the murder occurred.

Good times!

Some videos of Maude

This is a video of Maude after getting her cone at the vet's office.  Her paw was in a splint with an IV bag on it to keep it dry, along with my duct tape job.  (I had taken this video and sent it to Brian while he was out of town.)  Oh, and we still owned the rust-bucket back then.  It is loudly carting some other southeast alaskan around town now.

Here is Maude's first swim session after getting her splint off.  Please pardon my high-pitched cheerleader mom voice.  It had been a long six weeks of keeping her paw dry.  I was excited.
