Play
Fitzi and Lucy playing. They have recently played more; it is good to see that they are getting along well enough to play nicely. We hoped that Lucy and Fitzi would play well and take pressure off of senior Achilles, allowing Chili Dog to engage or not as he wants.
Looks
Fitzi looks over Lucy’s back during a pause in a play session.
Wait
Achilles and Fitzi wait out a late summer thundershower.
Partners
Peaceful
A peaceful evening with dogs scattered about the house, with Lucy sleeping on the couch.
Double decker dogs
Lucy likes hanging out on the back of the couch. Fitzi is content to take the lower bunk.
Wait
Fitzi and Lucy wait somewhat patiently for Faye to emerge from the kitchen.
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.
Blurs
Fitzi invited Achilles to play and Achilles accepted the invitation. By the time I got the iPad booted and camera app started they were winding down; they still danced so quickly that I only captured two blurs.
