This camera-shy little bundle of joy arrived last December and promptly snuggled close in my arms. Nero, after whom this blog is named, was born October 19, 2007. He is now almost four months old, somewhat unruly, but already understands simple commands like "come here," "lie down," and "no." He likes home-cooked meals, long walks and back rubs.



Nero in the garden. We had much ado trying to make him stay still.
