WooHoo! A hardy breakfast of coffee, coffee, coffee and Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups. Then I get to go over to crusty’s and beg to use his bathroom for an hour, so I can soak in a hot bathtub for a while, then use all the hot water again, showering and washing my long hair. Give thanks, y’all, for living in a house with a bathroom; a luxury some of us do not have. Oh! And do a load of laundry, too! Just imagine: clean and clean clothes!

Looking for someplace to live is a friggin nightmare. Pretty sure it won’t be in Paradise—everything is way to expensive on the ridge.

Practically everyone has seen a “Beware Of The Dog” sign once in your life. The sign that warns you of the fierce dog protecting his/her human’s home. I know I had a few scary encounters when delivering newspapers as a kid. But, sometimes, the dog behind the gate makes a completely opposite im...

Today, we celebrate the birthday of a true legend, a man who has touched our hearts and souls with his music for decades. Happy 90th to the one and only Willie Nelson!

He's a symbol of resilience, of standing up for what you believe in, and of never giving up on your dreams. He's a champion of farmers and the working class, using his platform to raise awareness and support for their struggles ❤️🎉

A break to play with Tops

Poor Topper Dog; yesterday I put tall white socks on him for his potty run; trying to keep the foxtails at bay. Actually, because of his white markings, kinda hard to tell those are socks.

Happy for some time outside

Silly Pete

Pete will be out running and out maneuvering Topper in no time at all.

Petey is loving his new toy—a soft, plush INDESTRUCTIBLE dog toy thanks to Giant Jasper one of my favorite boarders.

Every hour or so, for my own mental health, I must play with puppy Pete a little bit

One of Petey’s first swims today. the pool looks good, no? It’s MiMi, Pete’s older (9 months) half sister in the pink vest on the left, Pete in the middle in the blue vest and Pocket, vestless on the right. She’s a farm resident and a crazy water dog.

From two weeks ago; Pete’s first swim. We’re going again today; my goal is to make him a little SWIMMING Schipperke

Puppy Pete trying so hard to get Annie to play; never gonna happen...

My boy Pete

With bright sun, dense shade and a black puppy; this is hard to see. But cute as can be when puppy Pete meets Jack Cat for the first time.

Sitting on the floor playing with Pete, today. He can’t come home, yet, but I can visit a little; I want him to know me by the time he DOES come home.

Quick video of the dogs in class, today: 13 dogs on the court; 12 new dogs, one return. It was great to be training again! A good group of dogs. Lots of poodles and/or poo mixes.
