Kendal’s graying eyebrows and chin provide an appearance of the distinguished gentleman.

Kendal is 12 1/2, our elder statesman. His eyes are bright, coat healthy, appetite good, willing and ready to walk. The scare we had at the first of this year has made me much more appreciative of how blessed we are to have such a healthy boy.


Kendal has a thing about Turkey Vultures. Whenever he spies one flying over he goes on Red Alert, barking a warning to keep on flying and not come back.

He continued barking and I continued snapping

Kendal began barking ferociously as I photographed some living jewels in the backyard. I swung the camera around and captured this.

Kendal, surveying his world.

They make a good pair.
