Pictures from our trip to Heidelberg a couple of weeks ago. The weather was absolutely beautiful, especially for October. We stayed at Ramstein AB for the night, then drove to Heidelberg from there. We parked on one side of the Rhein river, walked across the pedestrian bridge, then walked back to the car and drove up closer to the castle. We snapped a few pics from outside the castle and then walked into the town for dinner. We had a traditional German dinner in a restaurant that happened to be across from the Heidelberg Tea House (Tee Haus in German), where I browsed while we waited for our dinner. I'll post a couple pictures of my treasures from there some other time.

We had to put a diaper on Gretchy. We cut a hole for her tail in one of the boys' diapers. No more drops of blood on the floor!

Gretchen's in heat. This has prompted all sorts of questions from the kids: "What's wrong with her private place?" "Can humans only get pregnant at certain times?" "Do cows go into heat?" "Can boy dogs/humans only make babies at certain times?" I'm just waiting to see if putting a diaper on her will be necessary as recommended on the internet. Just as we move one kid out of diapers, we put the dog in them.
