Go Astros!

The Astros have won 5 of 7 and closed to only 11 games under .500 (cough cough). We've got our rally caps on. (Yes, I know that these aren't technically rally caps. The plastic Sheltie-sized ones can't be turned inside-out.) Rusty says he'll be the outfielder. Sydney will run the concession stand.

Rusty's superhero adventures!

Rusty's here at summer camp! In celebration, we're privileged to be able to report his daily adventures saving the world.

Wednesday: Rusty left the house and flew over the city. He saw a bayou that was close to flooding! He flew down and dove into the water to investigate. A mean-looking turtle swam up to him, but Rusty made friends with him. Then Rusty swam down further and discovered that the drain pipe into the main bayou was all clogged with branches and leaves. Rusty smashed the clog with his Super Sheltie Kick. The bayou started flowing normally and the city was saved. Rusty returned home for a well-deserved nap.

UPDATE BY GRIFFIN AUGUST 18TH: I apologize for the lack of further Rusty superhero adventures. I suspect that the others were far too classified to post publicly. (Damitra suspects that it's simply that Sydney locked Rusty out of her blog.)
