Fat Tuesday
Jessie likes being close to the Alpha Dog (Barb) and the Beta Dog (Riley)
Jessie (12 weeks)
Only thing better than a Golden Retriever puppy (12 weeks) is a pup with a buddy to show her the ropes. Riley is delighted to have someone around who speaks dog. Riley not entirely thrilled to share her chairs with the new pup but is making the best of the situation.
Jessie: 10 weeks
More playtime
Playtime
It has been one week since we brought Jessie into our home. I’d say she is 90% house broken. We’re taking her out side about every 30 minutes and she has clearly made the connection: this is where you pee. Best news? Our 3 1/2 year old Golden, Riley, is enjoying her new pal.
And bedtime is the best.
Riley getting comfortable with Jessie
Jessie
Meet Jessie, the newest member of our family. She’ll be joining us the first week of December. Riley will finally have a new butt to sniff.
Perfect October Day
Surounded by trees, we don’t get spectacular sunrises and sunsets. We just don’t get much of a horizon. But we do have a tiny vista, looking down our road to the hills just on the other side of the Missouri River. It’s so quiet we can hear approaching vehicles — few and far between if you don’t count neighbors — from far down the hill.
When the sun does shine through the trees in the late afternoon, we get some flattering light. My friend John says this was taken using the Old Man filter. I am much happier than I look. Ditto for Riley.
Turtle flees for life
When Riley shows up with a turtle in her mouth, I have to coax it away from her with a biscuit. I set the turtle on the ground somewhere outside of the invisible fence that surrounds our yard. I wonder what this must be like for the turtle and does it ever find its way back to friends and family.
