Dog Is My Co-Pilot

Welcome, Buddy

Although maybe we should have named him "Potsie", given his choice of favorite toy:

George 1997-2008

You left us too soon, buddy. Hope you've got a nice green lawn and some shady trees on the other side. Wait for me, huh?

Window Watchers

2008-02-06T12:16:00.000-08:00

Don't know what they all saw. Maybe it was Santa.

Here Comes Trouble...

A Day at the Beauty Shop

Before.

After.

And Now For Something Completely Different

What, I can only take pictures of dogs? The view from the deck last September. Scroll down for more dog photos. Trust me, they're there.

Gracie

2007-10-12T11:25:00.000-07:00

Age 12 1/2, and not a bit of grey on her. Some girls have all the luck...

Sister Act II

2007-10-12T11:18:00.000-07:00

Calm.

Curious.

Crazed.

A Pioneer

2007-10-12T09:52:00.001-07:00

It is hard to believe, but once upon a time our house held no dog beds, even though we had dogs aplenty. Then we adopted Annie. Shortly after she arrived, we noticed her rearranging the area rugs; piling them up into little heaps that she would then sit on.

Well, we can take a hint. Now, thanks to Costco, we have a large selection of dog beds scattered around the house for the dogs to choose from.

So, in the interests of the historical record, here is Annie reclining on the fruits of her efforts: her/our very first dog bed.

George Then and Now

2007-10-12T09:46:00.000-07:00

Then.

Now.

Age 1 1/2 and 10 1/2. If only my photographic skills had been better back then...

Jezebel

2007-10-04T11:48:00.000-07:00

Mugging for the camera.

A more introspective moment.

We have rescued many dogs, and this is the only one whose name we were able to discover. She had been micro-chipped as a puppy, and although none of the other information on her was current, she definitely responded to the name.

Given how many times and ways it has been misspelled since then by people who know her (Jesabel, Jesabelle, Jezabel, etc.), who knows if the original owner actually spelled it this way. She has never complained, however.

Lily and Ivy

Resting in the shade.

Guarding the Gate

2007-09-12T13:49:00.001-07:00

George and Gracie keeping a lookout for intruders...

And we haven't had one yet!

Summer is Good

2007-09-12T13:30:00.000-07:00

Okay, lawn perfectionists will object to the flowers being allowed to grow right in the middle of the greensward, but I think it adds character.

As does George, of course.

Another Gratuitous Lucky Post

2007-08-26T08:46:00.001-07:00

Posing very nicely one Christmas.

Lucy Then and Now

2007-08-26T08:39:00.000-07:00

Another picture of Lucy when we first got her.

I was hoping that she would grow up to look like Lucky, pictured here:

But instead she took a different direction. Not that we're unhappy with the result:

Sisters

2007-08-24T10:31:00.000-07:00

Sure they act like sisters, but can you see the resemblance?

On the Lookout for Global Warming

2007-08-24T10:28:00.001-07:00

Is that Al Gore over there?

Ailza in Action

A dog with a mission, in motion.

The Big Giant Head Exists!

2007-08-21T18:18:00.000-07:00

Q.E.D.

But I don't think he looks much like William Shatner (or, rather, vice-versa), do you?

Name Change?

2007-08-19T08:50:00.000-07:00

Lily and Lucy when we first adopted them.

Later, we came to realize that they would have been better named Heckel and Jeckel, or perhaps Evel and Knievel.

Oh well, too late now. Already bought the name tags.

Remembering Ivy

2007-08-19T08:38:00.000-07:00

1989-2006.

Hey. She's the one who posed by the Forget-Me-Nots. Who am I to argue?

Another one of our favorite portrait photos.

Hey, Buddy!

2007-08-19T08:09:00.000-07:00

No really, that's his name.

Hangin' On The Porch

2007-08-18T21:11:00.000-07:00

Hot dogs.

This Is Where All The Training Pays Off...

2007-08-18T17:04:00.000-07:00

Good sit, Buster.

Now get to work on those weeds.
