Passenger #130 here looks very much like it might be Melchior Stüßi. It was certainly the closest match in the passenger manifests kept on microfiche from that era. The age (22) is right. Date of landing (November 12, 1845) is right as well. Switzerland is the country of origin.

If so, then he appears to be traveling with a Samuel Stüssi who is 18 years old (passenger #129).

Probably injured during a morning jog with me, we’d been encouraging Pappy to exercise when he was lame. Wrong thing to do, says the vet. He needs rest. 90 days of not chasing rabbit, no jogging and no unnecessary walking.

On a scale of 1 to 4, with 1 the least bad and 4 the worst, Pappy’s ACL is rated at 1.5. Painful, but manageable.

Presents on birthday

Gabi’s birthday was a great success! Here she is in the backyard, unwrapping a gift.

Retired Pappy leads Camilla on walk

Pappy, at 9 and a half years old, is now officially retired from jogging. He’s been slower and slower since February. Today, he took everyone on an off-the-leash walk through our jogging grounds. Camilla was the only one to keep up with him.

Felix, 1997 to 2010

Coincidentally, about two hours after I posted Pappy’s retirement, I learned that Felix, my brother’s dog, had passed away. Goodbye, Felix.
