Summer doesn't ask for much.
She is happier and more relaxed on the days that she gets to run for an hour though.
Yesterday that didn't happen.
So this morning I bundled up to brave the cold and rain. Her comfort is as important as mine I reckon.
Her pal, at the last minute, asked if he could go along. So we make accommodations.
We drove the four wheel drive vehicle to shorten the hike and took the sandy vehicle access to the beach.
We joked about not melting in a little rain no matter how sweet we are.
It worked out we didn't melt.
I am determined to let go of my instinct to decide what is best for my husband. He is the best judge of how to use his energy. I can made it easier though and I do my best.
An epic adventure was had by all.
Especially Summer and her pal.
Time to dry out and get warm.

Another week, another million dollars (not). A very warm start of the week at 65f/18c. For the first time since Feb 1, I was totally free of flu symptoms.
Have a good week, everyone.

She can't wait for spring when the flowers are blooming. I make her pose for hundreds of pictures. 😆

"Master has given Dobby a dog bed!"

I’m with Levi, trying to make it rain for the Ulster Cty SPCA.

A quiet corner, a warm latte, and a little white dog who has clearly decided this is the best seat in the café ☕🐾

Rio and puppy Freya had a good time while we celebrated Father’s Day. Rio still needs to learn to play on a smaller dog’s level, but she did a decent job of holding her own.

Report from the Amsterdam protest: there are a few hundred people here and two uniformed Dutch cops at a respectful distance very casually chatting with each other while they wait for nothing to hurry up and happen.
A lot of people are tourists (American or otherwise) who happened to see the protest because the US consulate is between several museums. They’re all like “hell yeah I’m stopping for this.” Passing bikes ring their bells (some of them might even be in support and not because Americans are standing on the bike path). I don’t know where someone in Amsterdam found an enormous California bear flag on such short notice
And yes, everyone loves Odin, who randomly decided to put his paws up on my shoulders when we were very visible to the crowd

When I walk my dog, nobody cares about him or me. It’s my extremely cute and fluffy, intrepid cat who follows us, who gets all of the attention 🤗

We had such a long workday today that daily #dog photo almost slipped my mind!
Here is Camu in May 2025, doing a squirrel — or maybe more of a mongoose type of move — to see if the person who just banged the car door is indeed his bestie (my partner) or just some vandal who needs to be barked at 😆❤️

1. After 4 years of encouraging the growth of white clover over grass, I have finally achieved more than 50% clover in my backyard. (photo attached)
2. My dog is often fearful of what lurks in our tiny backyard--usually bunnies and robins. But today, she pranced out there like a fearless champ! (photo attached)
3. My mini wildflower meadows are blooming. It will last through Autumn, with different flowers emerging over time. (photo attached)
Buddy is officially in Palliative Care now. He got lots of pain medication, a shot and IV today at the vet so he feels a lot better. His hips are going. He's got a lot of pain in his back legs, but he still wants to be with us and so the vet says he is not suffering constantly yet. We can give him pain medication and for appetite to keep him going maybe a week maybe a couple weeks.
He has only eaten maybe 6 meals out of 28 in last two weeks. Lost 4 pounds in this last month and it shows. He turned down all his favorite treats. When he turned down bacon I got our appointment. We did find out he will eat a cooked hamburger patty! Prime beef. At 15 now he’s got all the symptoms he won’t live much longer. I’m glad to try Palliative care for him.

After a great week off, it's funny to see where Moxxi wants to go and what's on top of her priority list when she's back home.

Getting to see these guys smile so much definitely helps with my mental health! I hope it helps you too.
Does you getting up mean it's time for dinner?
Hi-jinks are about to ensue.
