Indy!

Four years ago, when Indy was a puppy, no one imagined he would grow to 100 lbs. Although the specifics were unclear, he was described as a "Boxer/Bulldog Mix." This is Indy today... a giant lover-boy, not real coordinated, but a whole lotta fun!

Wiener on the Loose

On the first day of Spring, this little Dachshund, named Copper, stopped by my house for a visit. He didn't seem to be in any hurry to leave and he had a Chihuahua buddy with him, so I wrangled them into my backyard and called his people.

While we waited for them to show up, Copper was kind enough to let me take his picture a few times.

Love Comes in All Shapes & Sizes

A good friend has opened her home to six dogs – dogs with “issues,” senior dogs whose owners dumped them, dogs that were rescued. Visiting with her and her pack, we realized all over again that love comes in all shapes and sizes. This proves that the more love we give, the more love we find that we have to give, with twelve baskets-full left over to share.

Small Package

Hana can be a formidable hunter. She's captured three or four birds from mid-air and I'm pretty sure she could taste squirrel tail a couple of weekends ago. It's a good thing a squirrel's tail is bushy and she couldn't get a grip.

Unfortunately, her skills turn to indoor pursuits when the vacuum cleaner is out of the closet, and my floors are usually filthy as a result. Sometimes, though, something's got to give and in this case, the floors needed cleaning, so I boxed Hana up and threated to ship her to the highest bidder should she get in my way.

Of course she did get in the way, and I would never ship her off, but we had fun just the same. And by the way, she had several offers but is going nowhere.

Out & About

Have not been keeping up with this as much as I'd like. Here are a couple of shots from a recent trip to Whidbey Island, WA. Please click on the images to see full frame.
