So long, Mohawk Man

Duncan has found a Forever Home!  CL is missing the little dude:

Me?  A bit.  At least I have some quiet time to contemplate life and guard the 20+ foot sunflowers.

p.s.  Can you guess what we were staring at, while gazing out the window in the first picture?

Yep.  Fresh meat!

To bask in the glory of a sunny afternoon

(Right now? I do not miss Cambridge.  CL insists, though,  that Denver has moments like these, in between the blizzards...)

I Worship the Sun Gods

67 degrees, Noontime, lazy Sunday in Northern California... 

 Take that, snow demons!

Sun Gods 1, Snow Demons 0.

Heat Miser

My new spy locale

Do you see me?Do you see me, now?Not only do I have the perfect view of the back yard, but I can spy on crazy lady, as she works on the other side of the grape arbor. Clever, huh?

Watchful Waiting

It's no secret that crazy lady is not well. She's stuck at home, and using a cane, neck brace and other contraptions to get around. The docs have allowed her to drive "defensively," which means "slow, with no accidents and freeways." Computer usage is strictly limited. Reading is difficult. She fell down while picking-up dog poop last week, so the-powers-that-be are restricting her time outside. Oh yeah, she is not a happy, cheerful person, right now. She was sarcastic and surly on good days, before her silly neck decided to cause trouble. Now, she growls more than Popeye! Me? I'm fine. Usually, I am not a normal pack creature who enjoys a lot of dogs and social activity. I prefer my isolation, one caregiver, and squirrels, cats, bunnies and Bambi to torment. And, of course, I love the sun:Give me a sun-shiny day, and I am a very happy dog (like the booty shot?):First, though, I need my morning stretches:Then, I peruse the territory (and pee on the neighbor's dog, who tries to stick his head under the fence):Finally, I bask in the Glory of the Sun:

Good morning, Sunshine

California Sunnin'

Seriously? This is the best picture you could take of me, sunning myself on the deck?
Or this? Looking like I ate too many "special brownies?"You tempt fate, crazy lady. Especially since a new Taiwan foster pup arrives tomorrow afternoon:He's shy, he's cute, he's fluffy, and he is ALL MINE for Formosan Mountain Dog (FMD) payback:Yes, MINE to play and plot FMD revenge for underwear head, diets, bunnies and -- now-- indecent, private grooming shots. He will fall under the "Sugar spell," and follow my lead.You only had 1 FMD to worry about...after tomorrow, there will be 2 of us...just you wait...

Sunrise

It has been 2 weeks of illness--first, I'm sick. Then, crazy lady is sick. We're finally feeling better. Crazy lady celebrated by taking early morning pictures of the Cambridge sunrise:I, of course, slept:

Spring arrives!

Wow, the first day of Spring and it's a beautiful morning at the park. The flowers are starting to bloom:I was (to quote the crazy lady) "full of beans," running after sticks and eating goose poop:Sunshine! New grass for grazing! Gotta love life, on this first day of Spring.

The sun will always win

I am not a big fan of the cold. I love to play in the snow when it's light & fluffy; but I hate rocks and salt trapped in my paws during severe storms. Plus, snow men are evil creatures that MUST be destroyed at all times. You see, I prefer the sun. Crazy lady calls me a "heat seeking missile" and says I remind her of a cat. Shame, crazy lady, shame...do you want me to glare at you all day long? I am nothing like a cat. You will pay for your insult, witch.Okay, enough threats...earlier this week, we had a sunny day. I was bathing in the heat, lazy on the windowsill, and ignoring the world at large. A strange man entered the apartment to fix the brand new drier. Nice hole in exhaust tube, huh?Did I greet the man with a warning bark? Did I try to protect crazy lady? Did I even bother to get off the windowsill and explore the stranger who entered our sacred home? Those would have been my normal reactions to having a stranger knock on the door. But today, the sun was too precious. A storm was arriving by the end of the week. I had limited time to soak in the heat. I could care less about the repairman. I had my priorities, and SUN ALWAYS WINS.
