We’ve chased balls and friends. It might be time for a nap.

Whatcha thinkin’, Ma?
He’s such a mess, and I love him so much!
Supervisors
Playtime!
The cooler temperatures of late brought out the feistiness in all the pups…and evidently also a little ham and cheese… These characters make sure we never have a dull moment.
Long Swim Means ZOMG ZZZZZ…
So. Darned. Tired.
Swam. So. Far.
We Are Not Pleased
I suppose all this rain is my fault; I’d scoffed at the instructions to plant tobacco after monsoons… The backyard is now one with the pool and it just keeps coming down.
Blah.
Prince of Pests
This shot was going to be a zoomed in picture of a bird in the live oak tree…but in true Niko fashion, even this photo had to be alllllll about him. So needy. So adorable. So I zoomed back out just in time to have him finish walking over to my face, get a kiss, and walk back off again.
This is my life. I garden, I wrangle dogs, I take photos, I rinse and repeat. There really shouldn’t be much more to life. It should be that simple.
“Michiyo, Hyde and I are bored. Quit napping and come play with us! Michiyo..?”
These three, man. Some days I really want to be a dog…
One Squirrel = Hours of Hilarity
I really need to put a squirrel feeder a little higher up, considering the small dogs can jump pretty well, and the big dogs can just stand and snag it by the tail, if they were outside at the time.
This just happened, so I’m sharing the funny:
Coyotes and Deer and Hogs, oh my!
Niko is my personal guardian. Anytime we are in the backyard, he places himself between my body and the back fence. Last week, he literally blocked me from leaving the patio area; I’d had no clue coyotes were there until a fire truck went down the highway and they yipped further into the ranch behind. Sweet, loving, brave little guy. =)
Today is a calmer day; he’s still keeping watch, but relaxed as he does so.
Rainy Days, Muddy Paws
It’s been a hot minute since Michiyo was a puppy, so I’d forgotten about how much they love to explore wet ground… Niko’s new obsession is going around the yard and digging random holes; he’s clearly attempting to break my ankles so that all I can do is sit and give ear scritches.
