Four years of hijinks with The Pook

Four years ago today, the fun began. It started with a Facebook ad for “Pup BI.” I’ve had a lot of great dogs over the years, but no one compares to Althea, whom we affectionately call The Pook. I spent a few hours this morning going through pictures of our life together.

This was the start of it all. When I saw this photo I knew I had to adopt her. Best move ever.
Althea and me at the Meigs County Animal Shelter on the day I adopted her.

It’s hard to believe she was once this small … She’s about 70 pounds now.
Althea snoozes after running amok.
Althea discovered the dishwasher was a cool place to hang out.
Althea is obsessed with riding in the truck, dating back to this trip to Florida in 2022. It’s gotten so bad that I have to spell the phrase Ride in the Truck to avoid inciting a Pook riot.
Althea has been exploring the forest since she was old enough to walk. She’s the ultimate hiking dog.
Althea was one of two maids of honor at our wedding in September 2024. She’s obsessed with Laura.
Althea and Winter, her stepsister, get along pretty well. They’re not besties but they share a deep love of Laura and a visceral hatred of squirrels. We call them frenemies.

Newts, turtle sex, and a morel-munching salamander

We had a good, drenching rain on Friday night, prompting me and Althea to spend a lot of time in the woods searching for oddities over the next few days. We weren’t disappointed.

A bunch of blonde morels surround our forest altar to Morchella, a tribute to fortunate foraging. I did the same with black morels I found the previous day and found the blondes almost immediately the next morning. Morchella smiles upon such offerings.
