Seeing and hearing real life in the real world with Stella, Kendal, and Achilles. Making time for these sights and sounds.

How wonderful it is . . .
. . . to do nothing all day long, and after having done so, to rest. Proverb attributed to the Basque
Ah, the life of a dog.
Achilles has taken up drinking
I very rarely buy toys for the dogs. I couldn’t resist a squeeky toy shaped like a beer bottle. Having an aggressive squeek, labelled ‘HeinieSniffin’, and depicting one dog sniffing another’s butt it was too good to pass up. Alas, it lasted about ten minutes in Chilidog’s strong jaws. I was compelled to take it up lest he inadvertently swallow a piece of it. I forgot just how aggressive a chewer he is.
Dancing dog
Achilles has danced for his meals for as long as I have owned him. Because he goes straight up and not onto me or Faye, I allow it. It’s quite endearing. Stella is content to wait at ground (or deck) level.
Velcro dog
The combination of warm sunshine and a grassy bed resulted in Achilles being firmly attached to the ground from nose to tail.
Dogs at play
Capturing dogs at play in a static image can be challenging. It’s hard to capture the dynamism, the posturing and gestures, the movement, their ‘speaking’ to one another. This photo doesn’t begin to show how Achilles and Stella were playing.
Lap dog
Though lap and one half is more accurate.
Errand
While Achilles lays quietly, Stella trots by on an important errand. Namely, coming to the deck and bumping her head up under my hand.

Partners

Achilles and Stella have been partners for eight years since I adopted him from the shelter. Treasured companions.
