Charlie Jasper

Meet Charlie Jasper, the newest addition to our family.



Charlie is an almost-5-month-old purebred Maltese whose mom had to get rid of him due to her busy schedule. The family we got him from was so sweet, and they gave us everything from puppy chow to his toothbrush/paste. He's adjusting really well to Jack, our Chow/Daschund/Corgi mix, and slept well his first night in his new home.

Welcome to the family, Charlie!

RACE RECAP: Two Cities Half-Marathon (Relay)

This morning, we (Brett and Caitlin) ran the Two Cities Half-Marathon! It sounds like it should be a lot of work, but we ran it as a relay with two good friends of ours.

Team Madera Mayor-thoners
Brett ran with good friend and Mayor of Madera, Robert Poythress. Rob ran the first half (5.7 miles) and Brett wrapped up the second half (7.4 miles). The guys finished in 1:42:39, which was 7th place for the men's division!



Team Will Run for Wine
Caitlin ran with Celeste Voyles, Brett's campaign treasurer who has become a good friend of ours. (She ran her first half-marathon in October! Woohoo!) Caitlin ran the first half and Celeste did the second. The girls finished in 2:17:33.
