Dogs and water. Dogs and sticks.Dogs and summertime. They sure go hand-in-hand (or paw-in-paw) don't they?

This great shot of sister and brother Labs - Gabby on the left; Sam on the right - reminds me of the simplicity and beauty, of the fleeting moments that we have with our four-legged friends. And how important it is to seize the day! Or stick.

While no longer with us, Sam and Gabby greeted every day with reckless abandon; you couldn't help but go along for the wondrous ride that encompassed their lives. What joy! I'm sure you and your dog can relate - so get out there and enjoy the long Labor Day weekend and the last bits of summer. Carpe diem! Carpe haerent!

Yup, that's snow and yes, it's from last winter. 

I just love this shot on so many levels:
1.) Ruby can fly. Well, it SEEMS like she can - she sure can be airborne in the blink of an eye! 
2.) She'll do pretty much anything for Annie's Organic Honey Graham Bunnies (what she is catching). 
3.) The look on Tess's face and 
4.) Doesn't the snow look inviting?!

Enjoy your weekend! I know me and the girls will, albeit without any of the white stuff on the ground. It's just around the corner, though...!

Okay, technically it's 1:03 A.M.mountain time, but it's still Friday somewhere in the world! This shot of Tess sticking out her tongue was unintentional - I didn't start out waiting for her tongue to show off it's shiny pink posture, but zip! There it is - quick! Press the shutter! I don't know why it amuses us to no end when animals stick their tongues out (AT us?!) but I'll bet I'm not the only one out there that gets a kick out of it!

Tess likes to line up her "babies" just outside the dog door. Every. Single. Time.
That Tess. She's a funny one. Something that you can count on with her is every time she goes out the dog door, she grabs one of her stuffed toys (she has a gazillion) and strategically places it on an old landscaping railroad tie. Pets on parade! Every once in a while, I pick them up, dust them off, and put them back in the big basket in the kitchen. Sooner, rather than later, the migration resumes, and the pink pig, the not-so-white-anymore bunny, the platypus, the green one-eyed monster, the gorilla, and all their friends meet and greet the elements and catch up on what's been happening since the last time they lost an eye. Or a limb. Or their head. It's a pretty happy, scrappy group and I always look forward to checking out Tess's latest art assemblage. It's like our own version of Toy Story!
