The ugly ties are a time-honored Statehouse tradition. Venerable Associated Press reporter Bob Fick started the tradition as a way to signal that it’s time to wrap things up — or as a way to scare legislators off.

We got our beautiful Bevina a few months after Redwin. Since Redwin came from a rescue, he wasn’t adjusting as an only dog.
So Chris went to the rescue’s website and found a Labrador-dachshund cross.
Like Redwin, Bevina is 16. But she is remarkably healthy. We hope to have lots of time with her.

Yesterday, our vet brought Redwin a red velvet cupcake for a final treat. He gleefully scarfed down the whole thing. Chris and I were covered with icing and crumbs, laughing and crying at once.
As only he could, he found a way to leave us with one more laugh and one more beautiful memory.

After 15 years of love and laughter, we said goodbye to our beautiful Redwin this morning. He was the classic dachshund: clever, contrarian, inquisitive and independent. He could have been an evil genius, but he was too much of a sweetheart for the job. He won our hearts, which are aching today.

It’s only three of us today and it’s been a crazy couple of weeks, so we’re cheating and cooking up the Costco Thanksgiving in a box today.
We did not outsource the pies, however.
Have a great and grateful day, one and all!

Spotted on JFAC’s tour of the Idaho State University Meridian campus. Someone just told him the 2025 legislative session is less than seven weeks away!
