Bentley

Senior Achilles’ Bentley, like his gentle nature, softly glows.

Watches

Lucy watches me capture her.

This is my last cross-post to Facebook. Once again I invite those followers to click the link to my blog and follow me by email. Or you can add the URL to your favourites and visit at your pace. If FB followers prefer not to follow either way, thank you very much for liking and commenting on my posts for the past three-plus years.

I will take Wednesday off and return Thursday.

Difficult

It’s difficult to take a not-endearing photo of our senior Achilles. We are so blessed to have such a good boy.

To my dear and valued Facebook followers: the countdown begins. My blog posts will no longer be cross-posted to Facebook in the new year. I invite you to continue following me at my blog.

Helps out

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

I think they like each other.

Fitzi and Lucy share the couch.

At home

Faye brought Lucy home today. Things have gone well – she and Fitzi played and pranced, and postured with sticks. Senior Achilles joined in; we were inclined to limit his exuberance because of recent back troubles which he is recovering well from.

Feeding time went well. Right now, each dog is resting or sleeping on a bed. At one point Lucy settled on the couch. Rather than fiddle with exposures and settings I went with the ambient light.

I think she is at home. We are blessed and pleased to have her.

Dozing

Senior Achilles, dozing on the couch.

Back on Thursday, likely with some news.

A little busy

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.

Doughnut dog

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