grumpy old bastard happier dealing with my dogs than much of the rest of the world. Enthralled by the sound of a Hardy Fly Reel... AND I'm not accepting 'follows' anymore as I'm tired of the clicking crap...
This is Frodo, an absolutely lovely young man that we got to walk with today... he is one big ball of energy and love...
In the early summer the first of the spawning Labradors can be seen heading upriver to the spawning grounds...
Isabel putting me on 'ignore' as she really wants to continue playing at the river...
we are the Law Offices of Bark, Bark, Bark, and Woof and we wish to be registered in your court as defense council. We work Pro -Bone-O and are vigilant in our duties... "hey, was that a tennis ball???"
Isabel doing her favourite thing chasing sticks at the river and Karleigh is starting to participate but isn't very helpful...
a stick, just about ANY stick is mandatory at the river according to Isabel...
Isabel chasing a ball at the river. she would do this until she drops from exhaustion... anyhow, it makes her happy and that is what counts...
Isabel has discovered a new favourite stick and is trying to bring it home...
two pictures of Marty from today... he is beyond a sweetheart and knows I'm a very easy touch for a biscuit...
Isabel and Karleigh at the river having their normal morning stick discussion...
this one would never move without a stick or a ball... I lost her last Valentine's Day...
Isabel and Karleigh have problems developing teamwork at the river today...
this is Maisie, a dear Golden that a neighbour is baby sitting. We told them to add our number to the list if she needs a place to stay or visit...
This is 'Tokie' an immigrant from Mexico and one of the dearest small dogs I've ever met... Absolutely a lovely dog... we ran into him on our morning dog walk... he brightens the day...
Getting an early start on what will be a warm day... Isabel and Karleigh doing stick stuff at the river...
Isabel is just about at her happiest when she is soaked down at the river...
Karleigh is demonstrating that she is almost a retriever with the first time she has shown such inclinations... A later toss and she brought the stick right to the shore...
I spent several nights each year curled on the floor with my poor 135lb male Black Lab shaking like hell because of fireworks... From 5 pm til after 2 am... fireworks aren't even legal here...
this is Willow, a lovely 4 year old Golden Retriever that I meet sometimes on the daily dog walk. She recognized me from 100 yards away and was thrilled that I gave her a biscuit...
This is Jasper the service dog taking a break from being awesome... truly a wonderful beast...
Isabel is getting a consult with Karleigh about finding superior sticks...
Isabel is very happy right now being at the river and having the perfect stick...
this is Maeve and Abbie... I looked after both of them when they were pups and haven't seen them in about 4 years and they instantly recognized me and that really made my day...
more river shenanigans with Isabel and Karleigh having a discussion about the finer points of stick rescue...
Isabel and Karleigh in the river with Isabel wondering who could have thrown such a lovely stick away... it obviously needed rescuing...
this older lovely Border Collie was out with his grandma today and was super diligent about chasing and catching and returning the frisbee toy... a real delight to watch...
