This is the first post on a page serving as my journal and a proof of living.

Me and my Fiancée, Kaitlyn have two dogs; Simon and Hank. They are generally fine with one another but at times, they fight. Simon is an old dog who has been with Kaitlyn since he was born 13 years ago. He’s learned to be by himself and has always had trouble integrating with other dogs. 

Hank belonged to my sister. After her dog Maggie died, she bought brothers from a litter who fought with one another. One of the dogs was named Brother and the other was named Hank. Before one of my recent fire tours, we adopted Hank. Hank is young and has difficulty respecting Simon’s space and property. We also have an old cat named Randal who we got from the humane society. He is a part of the family but he is annoying and is tormented by the dogs. We are a regular dysfunctional family.

I bought a camera yesterday at a pawn shop. My hope is to start taking pictures and videos so that I can upload them here.
