Alli and Joey are two of the most beautiful German Shorthaired Pointer bitches around.  I was told not to call them GSPs because some meatheads would think I was talking about a fighter.  I'm not sure about all of that, but know that there are far more interesting things to Google than meathead fighter guys. Alli is short for Allison and she is named after a dear friend and Joey is short for "Visions of Johanna" by Bob Dylan. They are The Bitches.

We lived in South Dakota for many years, where people put olives in beer and love ranch dressing almost as much as Nebraskans. We re-located to the Portland area mid-2016 and were really stoked to find lots of places that felt like we were running on Endor.  

Being hard-working Germans and not ones to steal the spotlight, Al and Jo encouraged me to use this space to share our stories as well as provide a platform for my portfolio. We're all glad you're here and please reach out if there is a project with which I could assist. Kibble isn't free.

Alli crossed the Rainbow Bridge on November 10, 2016, and took Leonard Cohen with her. Or maybe she just couldn't stomach the idea of the PEOTUS. She was probably dancing with Prince and met her namesake, Allison Lockwood, within five minutes of arrival. She was just like that.  

Joey and I know that any sort of idea or movement is greater than the pieces that make it up, so we keep running and writing in the spirit of Two Bitches. Like the sticker on our running app reminds us, there is no finish line.  

And just when we felt like we were getting settled in Oregon, I fell in love and my significant other proposed a relocation. Granted, living in the desert was on my bucket list, but the me I imagined in the desert was 77 years old and wore an obscene amount of turquoise jewelry. In late summer 2017, we packed up the van again and headed south to an oddly beautiful place called Las Vegas.   

While we'll always miss Alli, GSPs are like potato chips in that, "You can't just have one" sense, so I knew the day would come when Joey's solo child reign would end. Enter Vonnegut, The King of Hearts, due to the heart-shaped spot on his back, born February 13, 2018. I contemplated a re-brand to "Two Bitches and a Dude," but that contemplation lasted about 13 seconds.
