Grady has spent a good deal of time lately pretending to be a dog. He likes to get down on all fours and play with Hammy. He fetches toys. He licks out of his water cup. He’s a good doggy.…

Hammy and Annie
I know Hammy swipes food off the table and he barks a bit too much from time to time. But I also know he loves us and he’d do anything for us. If any one of us was in trouble,…
What to Expect
Found Hammy sleeping with some late night reading material. “What to Expect the First Year.” A very responsible dog.
Jase and Nico

Vet Visit
We are sitting in the waiting area at the vet’s office. Grady reaches into the basket under the stroller, pulls out a baggie and shouts, “Snack!” It was a bag of Ham’s poop from yesterday’s walk. Shit.
