Nature in Action: Dung Beetle

Our dogs keep them busy. And fed? Housed? What do they actually do with the dung?

She loves them so much that she sleeps on both at once.

Accidental Dog

Robby Meets the Big Dogs and Goes for a Swim

Today Robby was invited to the Big House to meet his elders and take a dip.

The Visitor

Little puppy Robby is staying with us for a few days. He is adorable but I decidedly DO NOT WANT a puppy of my own . . .

Jessie the Dog

Suddenly, on Tuesday, Jessie the dog was unable to walk. The diagnosis is that she had a stroke! Though nothing to sneeze at, apparently strokes in dogs are milder than those typical in humans, and our vet thinks that she will recover just fine. She's a little cockeyed and crooked in the walk, but definitely on the mend. She is the sweetest and gentlest of dogs and we're happy that it's not her time to go yet.

Dog-Washing

Hugh washed the dogs yesterday. This photo is from a dog-washing back inMarch , but I thought it fitting to post it now, since I didn't then.
