Good dogs!

I am back, after another hiatus.

This sprightly little fellow (or lady!) watched me from the safety of the Manitoba Maple tree in the back yard.

A neighbours’ free-roaming cat has the temerity to trespass in our back yard. While we like cats, we like them as inside-only pets. The dogs very much do not like cats. We, and the dogs, pop out at random times to keep kitty guessing, to keep the songbirds, and this welcome guest, as safe as possible.

Watching my dogs.

Watching my dogs watching their world.

Same game, different location.

Tug o’ war continued in the living room. We finish drying laundry on a rack in the living room and Fitzi was inside the duvet cover tent’.

It is good to see our dogs playing.

Worth sharing.

While reviewing and archiving photos, came across this, one of the first photos of Stella way back in 2004, who has gone on ahead.  It seemed to be worth sharing.

Dogs playing on a summer day.

Looks like I will not sit on the couch.

We can hope.

We can hope that recent events in the Middle East do not lead to more trauma and horror inflicted on war dogs and their handlers.
