I am very glad you are here.

The sight of a neighbours’ cat diverts Fitzi from playing with a ball.

Fitzi, being a black dog, often blends into the background. Not this time.

Fitzi helps out in the kitchen by keeping the ‘yips’ (sprites that make you forget stuff) at bay on this busy day.

Fitzi and Lucy share the couch.

I’m a little busy right now. Faye and I did a 5K run and walk Saturday evening; Faye the run and me the walk. Our times were creditable. We spent Sunday doing various house and internet stuff, including selecting photos for a calendar we plan on getting printed.
Faye’s working afternoons this week. This evening I baked Balsamic Chicken Thighs that she prepped, also baked rice and made a batch of glazed carrots, then did the dishes and tidied a bit.
After I post this it will be time to settle on the couch with a book and . . . (turns around to see which dog is on the couch) . . . Fitzi.

Fitzi, curled up on the couch. Happy to share the couch with you, right dog at the right time.

While sorting through photos this rainy evening I came across this photo of years-ago-let-go-of Moonpie, a Labx. She was a sweet girl. Ready for an adventure. By owning her I continued learning about the love of and for dogs, continued learning about letting go, sometimes earlier than you would like.
I’m blessed to have owned her.

Fitzi has an uncanny ability to stretch his hind legs out behind him.

Fitzi’s favourite toy is this ball. We sometimes play chase/keep away using it as the prize. Here, he seems to say ‘I dare ya to take it.’
