Happy Slimmy!

Oh man, Slim had a great day last week when Mike came over to her yard and pet her head for a really long time. That face kills me.

Buddy!

One of multiple "Buddies" we know, actually. I stayed at his house last night and he was sooo excited but then all the excitement of entertaining made him sleepy.

Bobbo and Claire

Claire is a very shy, scaredy dog, but her brother Bobbo is the opposite! Bobbo is one of the few things besides food that Claire shows obvious interest in, so I was totally excited to snap this photo of them together!

My weekend with Alice and Dee Dee (and Maxx and Mike)

This weekend a very kind client let me take her dogs up to her cabin in the Poconos, and she let Mike and Maxx (my partner and his dog, who are the loves of my life) accompany us. It was an AMAZING weekend, especially since it was so hot, but it's always a bit cooler in the woods! We hiked down to a waterfall and then spent some time by a big lake- both days! I've known Alice and Dee Dee forever, and though they are both getting up there in years, they are still so full of fun and love! It took some time for me to earn Dee Dee's trust, so it was extra nice to be able to have her off leash for most of the weekend. It means we are finally totally comfortable together. Maxx loves to fetch sticks in the water, and Alice loves to bark at her when she does that, so they have a great friendship too!

EDIT: Mike says Maxx was offended that I didn't include any pictures of her swimming, since she's so proud of her recently discovered skill! He's right. How thoughtless of me. Here is Maxx after her first experience with geese! (Not the best photo, but the best I got...)

Alice loves to swim in the lake! If you can, try and zoom in on her face. She has the BEST underbite.

OMG I love my job!!!!!
