Muddin'

This is Bob. Bob sees nothing whatsoever amiss here. Bob is actually quite pleased with himself. Note the dirt on Bob's tongue...
This is one happy dog.

Winter Sam

 

We have all seen the pics of Sammy hitting the beach... Well it gets cold here in SC too. Sammy has made the transition to winter and still manages to look like a real dude in the process. It's hard to hide cool.

Angel

This is my dear friend Angel. Angel is the perfect muse for the beautiful Fall colors up in Maine. Angel was rescued by fabulous parents, but after spending any time with this love, you know who really did the "rescuing..."

BEAUdacious time on HHI

This is my newest friend, Beau. Beau lives on Hilton Head Island and makes the most of it. He is the King of Sticks, as you can see. He strikes many a handsome pose, but how can he miss? Most of all, he is a totally playful and loving 2 year old who has never met a stranger. Thanks Beau, for sharing all of your friends with me!

Carnage in the Carolinas

 

No matter how much we think of them as "our children," it is important to remember that they are animals in the end.

Marley Bear

This is my good friend Marley. I had the good fortune of spending lots of time with him in Montana and got to hang out with him while his people went out of town. Sometimes we relaxed, sometimes we played, and sometimes we just mugged for the camera. All-in-all we had a great time and by the end of the visit Marley had me trained rather nicely.

Nap time with Marley

 

I love to take a nap after lunch. Marley loves to take a nap after lunch. I had to get upstairs to my bed before him or the "Marley spread" took place and there was no room for me. His parents insist he NEVER sleeps on the bed... Yeah, right.

The best toys

Sometimes the best toys are the simple ones... like Carol's socks! They are soft and chewy, but alas, no squeaker. Finally it is back to the good old pheasant. Whatever the toy, we sure do have fun.

Shelby

 

This is my friend Shelby. I've known Shelby since she was a puppy and have been reunited with her in Montana. Her parents are out of town for a few days so we are going to eat table scraps and twinkies. Yippppeeeeee!
(shhhhhh, don't tell...)

Rusty and Mahina

 

 

 

These are my new friends, Rusty and Mahina. You can see the stress level while their parents were out of town was pretty high. We managed to keep it all under control and have a lot of fun!

A New Friend

 
 
 

Sammy and I went out to check out progress on the pool this morning and we found someone else wanted to be the first one in the refinished pool. Our new friend later came to visit us at the house... Just another "Adventure in Petsitting!"

Chillin'

 

Chillin' after some big rides, waiting for the girls now.

Hangin' 16

 

 

 

Senor Samuel Skamper and I decided to go out and catch some early morning rides. Sammy carefully analyzes the waves, yup... that's the one, and finally Cowabunga dude!

CabernetBeirne and Joey

 


OK, you cannot make this kind of thing up. How cute is this??? Cabernet and Joey catch a "catnap" together.

Life's (not) a Beach

 

OK, so ya do what ya gotta do. Here's Buddy and Shiloh cooling off in their own dog-friendly back yard.

Scary Beach Dogs

 

 

Here are 2 good examples of why we have to have strict laws in the summer about our dogs enjoying the beach. Scary huh? Have "they" considered how many children leave waste on the beach or run through our quiet areas? Dogs, like children, can be well trained and behave well in public. Why is it that a lot of visitors can evict our resident dogs from the beach during the hottest time of the year? Can't we all just get along? Maybe a section of beach where dogs are allowed and people who don't care to share their days with dogs can frequent another part of the beach?

LUNAtic

 

 

 

Sitting with Luna in Indian Wells is always fun and never dull. Ready for her to head to MT for the summer though!
