. . . we are going for a walk? No? A car ride? No? You are feeding me? No?
Because this looks ‘cute’?
Please go away and let me sleep.

Buff, white, and black
Buff and white coat, white Bentley, white whiskers, black nose. Our beloved Achilles was still long enough to be captured, in focus.

Kendal on Patrol
Our senior boy Kendal on patrol in the backyard. He’s thirteen and perhaps his favourite place in his universe during this very harsh winter has been on the bed, in front of the Magic Heat Box aka the wall furnace. It’s been a challenging winter, especially for his arthritic bones. Now we are soaking up the sun, the warmth of March, and are very grateful. It’s so good that Kendal is here to help us welcome the blessed warmth of spring.
Comfortable
Chili Dog, taking his ease on a sunny late winter day.
Smile . . .
. . . inadequately describes my expression when I see Achilles dozing.

One of Stella’s favourite positions and places, curled up on the couch. She is a very good companion and very good dog.
Hi there.
You would rather pat my head than read that silly old book, right?
A different perspective
I usually photograph the dogs from an angle, sometimes at their level. This time I captured Achilles from almost directly above as he watched people walk past.
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.
Achilles

He is, always has been, easy to have, easy to be around, easy on the eyes and spirit. How blessed we are to have such a treasure in our lives.
