Sunshiny Day






Finally!

After a couple of months of rain, rain, rain, we had a sunshiny, nice day!

We've lived here for over 30 years and I don't think we have ever had so many crappy days without a break.

We had grilled hot dogs and salad and sat there sipping wine and looking at wispy clouds that looked like hands or turtles or rabbits. The dogs enjoyed the sunshine just as much as we did.

It was a gorgeous day but unfortunately it was one day in a row. Now we're back to more rain.

Genetic Memories



Our Papillon puppy Squeak either has genetic memories going back to her wolf ancestors or maybe delusions of grandeur. She takes a mouthful of kibbles from her bowl in the kitchen, brings them into the living room and puts them on the belly of one of her toys, usually a ragged, white stuffed sheep. Looking like a wolf feeding on a fresh kill, she defends it fiercely until the last kibble is gone.
