Look closely and you’ll observe Achilles’ white whiskers. Not a hallmark of age for this elder statesman, he’s always had white whiskers.

sweet Stella
It’s sometimes hard to believe she’s eleven years old. Recently someone saw her and was quite surprised to learn her age. Stella’s been a challenging dog at times – very quick to learn; quickly bored; on walks paying less attention to me than I was accustomed to in my dogs; wary of unfamiliar people; still occasionally letting loose that cattle dog shriek. I had to learn new ways of in-seeing, both into her specifically, dogs in general, and myself. She’s not a perfect dog but no dog is. She’s more than good enough.
My life, my self, is much richer for owning her.
Kendal
Senior dog, wise dog, enthusiastic dog, loved dog.
Good dog.

Achilles can pose as well as the original..
Distinguished
Kendal’s graying eyebrows and chin provide an appearance of the distinguished gentleman.
In motion
I was initially disgruntled when Stella moved as I snapped the shutter. After viewing this photo I came to like it, capturing her kineticism.
A pleasant evening
taken and posted with the PlayBook
Seeing and hearing real life in the real world with Stella, Kendal, and Achilles. Making time for these sights and sounds.
Velcro dog
The combination of warm sunshine and a grassy bed resulted in Achilles being firmly attached to the ground from nose to tail.
Flower girl
Bright eyes
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.
