Achilles, dozing on the deck of a pet friendly cottage we recently visited. We took only him, leaving Fitzi and Lucy at home in the care of a trusted sitter.

Waits
Achilles waits behind the gate while I work in the front yard.
While I’d like to have him out front with me – he is very unlikely to race off after some attraction – it’s better having him in the back yard. He is an old guy and I prefer having him there. He is safe from the stray or loose dog which might take advantage of his vulnerability while my back is turned or I’m otherwise unable to defend him.
Study
A decent study of Lucy; she held still long enough for me to photograph her.
I love her floppy ears.
Before
Lucy, before a thunderstorm chases us inside.
Lucy, sit.
I want to get a photo of you, so sit. Stay. Stay right there.
Or not.

Quirk
Every dog has at least one quirk. I vacuumed the house, then took the floor mats outside and mopped the kitchen floor. Fitzi dislikes smooth floors and refused to cross the kitchen until Faye returned from running errands.
Most special
Our most special senior Achilles takes his ease, and continues to cut a very dignified profile.
Lucy, gazing
Intrigued
The hibiscus bloom featured yesterday also intrigued Fitzi.
