Yesterday my four legged friends and I headed out about 9 AM and had a great run through the orange trail and all of its streams. The orange trail offered the most shade on a hot day. I took a few photos of flowers and plants and it looks like an early fall is ahead!

Today, Izzy, Lucy, Fenway, Otis, and Lilly went with me on a much cooler day. There was some commotion in the forest today - a bunch of trucks doing something or other - but everybody still had a fun time swimming and chasing one another.

We've got some great news to report! Mazy (a Tibetan terrier) has a new sister named Penny! She is also a Tibetan and is only 4 lbs so the troops and I went to meet her after our long day. There aren't any photos - she still has tiny puppy eyes, and I didn't want to hurt them with the flash. Soon, though, I'll have some :)

In the meantime, I've got 5 very sleepy, very furry friends on my hands. Thanks for taking the time to read this, and please invite others to read and join us. We're always looking for new playmates!

Well, the cool fall air is starting to descend upon us! It was chilly early in the morning today and yesterday, but both days turned gorgeous pretty quickly. We had a good crowd both days: Isabelle, Lady, Fenway, Mazie, and Lily. Isabelle and Lady are taking advantage of the last days of summer and swimming all day (although they probably won't have any objection to swimming when I think it's freezing cold out, either). Mazie was her usual calm self, and enjoyed sniffing and exploring along the water's edge. Fenway and Lily chased each other around in circles most of the day. In the end, of course, everyone was exhausted.

Hello everyone! We went on hiatus for a little while, but we're back now. A small change: from now on, we're going to be updating twice a week. Don't worry, I'll still let you know what happened on those other days, it's just that the posts will cover two days instead of one. Now, on to the good stuff :)

Yesterday was a fun day, with one small (mis)adventure. Lucy, Lady, Otis, Mazie, Dover, and I went for a walk in the woods. It was a gorgeous day, and everybody had a great time. Unfortunately, when we were on the Orange Trail and turned on to Dike's Road, Lucy stumbled on to a big beehive. We managed to escape unharmed, but I just wanted to warn everybody to watch out.

Today, Isabelle, Dover, Lily, and Mazie went down to the water. We left fairly early, hoping to avoid the afternoon thunderstorms the forecasters were predicting. We had lots of fun in the morning, although Isabelle surely missed Lady, her usual swimming buddy. A clap of thunder scared the dogs around 1, so we headed back to the house, only getting caught in the downpour for a few minutes :) Now, everybody's resting up and waiting for the rain to stop so we can go out again!
