We lost our sweet Gigi in August. Took her in for a spay and she had post surgery complications. She was only three years old.

Lazy Dogs
When I work from home I get to see how my pets (note cat on the couch) spend their days. They have it rough!
Flighty Foto Yin Yang
Grassy Fields
Beautiful, albeit muddy, evening today, after several days of rain. The girls and I enjoyed a walk in the fields and woods behind the house.
Pensive Gigi
Gigi contemplating the world…
First Day of Spring Walk
I enjoyed a long walk on the first day of spring with the girls. Love these days we can take our nice long walks!
Stopped at the park and snapped a quick picture of the girls. Long walks with my pups is bliss for me. 🙂
As someone who regularly walks multiple dogs, I can’t tell you how frustrating it is to see loose dogs. I usually modify my route, to avoid, if I see a loose dog up ahead. It is not cool to have a dog rush me when I’m walking 300+ lbs of dog. I’ve been pretty lucky so far and typically can yell at the approaching dog with a stern, “NO! GO HOME!” and they seem to listen. <knock on wood> My dogs seem confident that I’ll deal with the situation and don’t get too riled up.
Gigi in stealth mode
The other night when we got to obedience class, Gigi had to drop down to super sneaky stealth mode in order to stalk her bestie (Isla, the Lab). I bet Isla never even saw her.
She cracks me up!
