Closing Out 2020


As you can see Henry keeps me pretty busy during the day. Those are sharp needles next to his nose but he loves the taste of potting soil so he is not stopped by a few needles. He has a great personality but I catch myself looking back to 2004 and trying to remember if Winston was this obnoxious as a puppy. He was six months old yesterday and is already waking me up at night or coming to get me in the day if he needs to go outside. Yet, I have to watch what I leave on tables and needless to say, my house is puppy proofed.

We Are Still Here


It's been not quite a month since our last post. I have been busy with some VW stuff, some hiking, hanging out in the warm sunshine and I admit, a few afternoon siestas. The hounds and the dog are okay. Heidi is a little gimpy the past couple of days so I am waiting to see if a vet appointment is needed. Her lower back is showing signs of old age and that is never a good thing. Walter and Henry play non-stop, sleep together at night and are still digging for gold or copper in the backyard when I am gone. Stella is just Stella as you will see in the photos below.

They Love November Sunshine


Normal routine here with some slight changes since the temperatures are finally normal for this time of year. That means more yard time for the hounds, a little more digging for Stella and Henry (easy to correct). Henry is getting longer by the hour. Walter is so heavy I can barely pick him up. Heidi and Stella continue to keep their sleep habit active. Took a Sunday drive down to Miller Canyon, then south on Hwy 92 to Hereford Rd and came back home on Moson ... country roads. It's been great weather, perfect in fact.

Arizona Skies Are Beautiful


The skies have been amazing the past few days while a storm blew through on Saturday night. No damage, none expected but the chair and camping table blew out into the backyard while luckily the new Mexican table holding my small Weber grill stayed intact. Sunday was too windy to ride a bike, 15mph-20mph with wind gusts that made it hard for me to stand up while standing in the backyard watching the clouds.
