When young, guys are very self-conscious about the “Man Card”. According to that perpetual fount of bizarre knowledge known as the Urban Dictionary, a man card is “a card that doesn’t actually exist, but certifies that you are male”. Good solid definition. All men are born with a man card. […]
Max got his Halloween haircut today. We dropped him off early and then went to see “Captain Phillips”, a terrific movie. He was pretty shaggy going in and quite the handsome Malt coming out. Here’s our Halloween boy, photo courtesy of Miss Nanako at Beauty Salon for Doggies.
