Thankful Thursday: Bunnnies Stayed in Front Yard


Mom is grateful these bunnies stayed in front yard where we aren't allowed as it isn't fenced. Therefore she doesn't have to worry about the safety of the bunnies.

Thankful Thursday: Bunny is grateful we are oblivous



Dog Dad caught these pictures of us. Do you see the bunny boldly eating clover in the back? We didn't. Yes, we are embarrassed. We missed the critter right behind us as we were watching dog Dad.

Happy 10th Birthday Katy!


Happy Birthday my sweet girl. I have no idea how you could possibly be 10 years old. You have the energy of a puppy. We are so proud of you baby girl. Since you lost Bailey you have worked so hard at becoming more confident and able to deal with things on your own. While you might have a tendency to want things your own way, you also take care of Annie and make sure she knows she's loved and cared for every day. She couldn't have asked for a better friend to start her new life with in a new home.

Remembering Bailey


It's hard to believe it's been 2 years already, but time does fly. We haven't forgotten you baby boy. I do find it funny that even though Annie is so much smaller than you, people who haven't seen us in a while just remember us having one light and one dark Sheltie and are shocked to realize Annie has been with us for almost 2 years now.

We were truly blessed that of all the people who could have adopted an adorable rare Sheltie puppy to be available in rescue somehow you found us. I will never stop being grateful for that. You brought such joy and kindness where ever you went. Sadly, I think you might have missed your calling as a therapy dog. You had all the natural instincts that just can't be taught.

Enjoy your freedom over the Rainbow Bridge dear boy. You have earned your wings.

Critter Clearing


With all the rainy weekends keeping Mom and Dad from getting out to garden the perennial gardens are becoming critter vacation spots. I have taken on the job of evicting out unwanted guests.

Thankful Thursday: Dad Keeps Filling in my Hole



I am thankful that while Dog Dad isn't thrilled about the hole he appreciates the fact I keep it to one spot and understands I need to cool down on a hot day. So he keeps filling in my hole so I can keep digging it out to find the cool dirt underneath. It's a good system. He gets to pretend he's solving the hole problem and I get a fresh supply of cool dirt.

The Eyes Have It


Mom says we have very strong stares when we want something. We keep trying to tell her we are just very attentive to her needs.

Rallying for a Red Sox Win


As you might have guessed we are big sports fans in this family. Thanks to Mom's Aunt and our grandma we have sports fleece for all almost all our favorite sports teams. Contrary to what Dog Dad says sometimes we can even share. Here we are clearly sharing the Red Sox fleece as we cheer them on to victory over the Tigers.

Thankful Thursday: Garter Snakes are Afraid of Dogs


Mom is terrified of snakes. Don't try telling her garter snakes are harmless, good for the environment, it doesn't help. She will tell you breathing is healthy and she finds it hard to do when she she's a snake. She can manage her fears when they are behind glass or caged in some way but when they are free or someone is holding one all bets are off.

Thankfully, for Mom garter snakes don't like being herded and will generally flee when a Sheltie starts to investigate. This one dived for cover when I, Katy, went to rescue Mom. Of course now Mom is once again paranoid about snakes living under the porch, but at least it isn't sun bathing by the bottom of the stairs. I can only do so much. Not that this makes the Mom feel better, but this is one of the bigger snakes we've seen in the last few years.

Thunder Boom Toys


Mom is fascinated by the idea that I don't often play with toys, but toys are comforting when you are feeling stressed. During a big thunder and lightning storm I found a great thunder toy. During the loudest booms I chewed and somehow survived the storm.


I needed a rest after the storm.

Hole What Hole?



Do you see any holes here? I'm just lying in a little dirt here. I'm not sure what Mom finds so interesting. Nothing to see here move on.

Friday Flowers: Purple Tulips


It took Mom a while to get tulips to take hold in the yard. Nasty little creatures seem to like the flavor of tulip bulbs but thankfully they eventually took hold.

Thankful Thursday: Shade


There was a considerable amount of storm damage to trees this year, so I am particularly grateful we still have shade trees in the back yard because I like to go out to the end of the yard, dig a little fresh cool dirt and enjoy a peaceful afternoon observation post. You really can supervise everything right from this spot. Dog Dad refills my hole so I can keep redigging the dirt when I need something cool and refreshing on a warm day.
