Mind the Gap
Watching, Watched
Boo watches a dog across the street as a heavy snow continues to fall during our snowstorm in January.
Sitting in Judgment
The eyes of Trixie are upon you, so fill your heart with love and let your acts be of kindness.
A Tale With No Tail
Sari didn’t have the easiest start to her life but then she was trained to be a service dog that could detect when a diabetic’s blood sugar was getting low, which is how she came into my sister’s life. These days she’s retired from service work and the sweet tail-less pup enjoys walks and belly rubs. Although she lives far away in Georgia, she got to meet Ellie a few years ago when my sister visited us in Portland.
May You Never Act Your Age, Sweet Pup
Ellie is 13 or 14 years old and rarely wants to go up to the dog park at Irving Park anymore, but last night she was up for it and had a grand time rolling in the grass.
Goodbye Sun, Shall We Meet Again on the Morrow?
Trixie watches the setting sun as its last rays light upon her belly.
Excuse Me, Rabbit Friend, But I Must Squeak Your Belly
Was she ever this young? I hardly recognize her without all the gray. Ellie in 2009 about to make some music.
Did Someone Say Walk?
When Sari is around, you have to spell walk instead of saying it, her ears are on alert for the magic word.
What Is Natural?
A picture of Templeton in our backyard from the summer of 2006, edited two different ways. Color corrected up top, natural color below to show the diffuse purplish light at sunset. The purple version is a more natural representation of the light (I was struck by the light at the time) but most days I prefer the color-corrected version where Templeton looks more natural. Either way I love looking at my old pictures of him, I fell in love with cats because of this charming little fellow.
