He has pledged to maintain a healthy weight

Aaron came running with Snuffy and me yesterday. And then the wee fairies came out of the brush and danced their spritely dance around us all. No but really, he did. It was fun and he did well for someone who hasn't gone running, in, like, ever. Which means that Dylan came too. Although she fell asleep at some unknown point during the run, which I keep telling her is no way to keep her heartrate up.

When Snuffy and I were running sans Blumkins on the canal path the other day a deer crossed our path. This has to happen in a fairly obvious way for Snuffy to take note, but this one was RIGHT in front of us. And it had the biggest, fluffiest, whitest tail I have ever seen. I imagine that for Snuffy that tail said DEERZ DEERZ DEERZ in flashing neon. He sprinted after it and it ran down the hill. Into the canal. I thought I was going to have to sit Snuffy down for a talk about deer heaven (young models can be so naive), but it swam across with no problem. Snuffy went crazy for a long while after it had reached the other side, where it taunted him for several more minutes.

We thought he looked like the real Snuffleupagus in that last one.
