Where I Stand Sunday

Team collaboration here...this event doesn't happen as often as it should, so the participants are quite reluctant.

especially with 'Big Dog'.  You can't see it but he is up on his tippy-toes with the front paws...it's the funniest thing you can imagine in 'our adventures in dog bathing'.

What a sissy!  But we were reminiscing with fondness how he got into the cold river on our birthday outing in Colorado.

After warm bath, clipped nails

and cleaned glands for Chaco (I guess you didn't need to read that one)....

two very handsome boys appear in the sunshine of this Sunday!

Where I Stand Sunday is an ongoing photo essay examining the different places I spend my life standing.

Too often we take for granted the everyday places we spend our lives walking on.

There are several others who also write this on Sunday, see sidebar.

Dog Baths and Dog Laundry

Today was doggie bath day and dog laundry day. Someone was pretty stinky! We went on a mile hike, then corraled Big Dog into the bathroom, he 'comes' along, but really doesn't like it. But oh, he smells so much better. Little dogs don't have much choice. You grab them and put them in the tub, and there isn't much they can do about it. All of their "pluffies" and blankets get washed to, which is about 3 loads of laundry, cause we cover up the furniture they lay on and the bed. It's almost done.

The temperature was around 60 degrees today. It's supposed to snow on Thursday. I say, "Let it snow!"

The horse carcass finally got picked up yesterday, she lay 1st in the heifer pen, then on the driveway for 4 days. Guess it was a good thing that it was cold. It's still hard for us to think about. She was a neat horse.
