I was very kindly allowed to bring Achilles to work. At one point, he positioned himself at the entrance, where he could watch the world go by.

Elder statesman
Our elder statesman Achilles regards the world with his normal aplomb.
Rests easily.
Though we’ve had several spells of warm and humid weather we have resisted installing the window air conditioner. I broke down today – temperature in the high 20s C and humidity upwards of 70% – and plugged the a/c into the living room window. Tomorrow may be even more warm and humid, and storms are likely.
Achilles seemed to like my action plan.
Back on Thursday.
Rough work
Being one of our dogs is rough work.
Surveys
Achilles surveys his domain.
Resting

Returning from hiatus; good to go away and good to come home
After a recent (unannounced) break I’m back to posting.
Faye and I took the dogs to Pittsburgh PA and attended a fund-raiser for the Southwest Pennsylvania Retriever Rescue Organization, S.P.A.R.R.O. for short. S.P.A.R.R.O. and it’s companion organization, Shades of Grey Sanctuary for Senior Dogs, are operated by Joe Maringo, a truly remarkable man. We had a great time and hope we helped raise a good sum for a worthy cause. Joe hosted a Lab Fest the next day; people and dogs had good fellowship.
We expected Achilles and Fitzi to be good in the car. We are very pleased with how good they were around unfamilar people and dogs. Achilles ambles around the fenced in area.
We really appreciate all of the kindness and generosity everyone shared and expect to attend next year.
While it was great to go away, after 1400 klicks in four days it’s good to be home.
Rests
Achilles rests after a long walk and playing with Fitzi.
Back on Thursday.
Ears
Achilles’ ears are so expressive. Here he watches, listens to the world going by.
Back on Thursday.
Play
Achilles (12? years old) and Fitzi (three) engage in a play session. They play well, which is good for both of them. Also, Stella is no longer pressured to do something she no longer cares to engage in.
Back on Thursday.
