A little blog about Katie and Emmett. Having just met, they were the same size and temperament and had much fun. I took quite a few pictures, not as many turned out as I hoped but here are a few. (click on any photo to enlarge)
Meet Emmett, and Katie there in the background. They’ve just met and Emmett loves Katie already.
He chews her ear and Katie’s never offended
Katie patiently allowing me to put the camera in her face
The girl’s got her eye on the ball
This has got to be the funniest of the pictures I took. Look at that crazy wall eyed Emmett!
Here’s a quick shot of the wee little Boppo, in charge of the chair
Who’s a shiny guy, lovin’ the backyard?

Here are some Instagram pictures I’ve posted to my Facebook account through the summer. This is part one of three (click on any pic to enlarge) blog posts with my summer pictures. It’s been a great summer and I’m grateful to my new and regular clients for having me care for their dogs. It means a lot, thank you.
As we move into Fall and the holiday seasons be sure to schedule dates you need me for boarding as soon as you know, as my schedule fills quickly. Looking forward to hearing from you
Fluister is the designed like a patchwork quilt, so pretty. She’s a good companion.
Daisy, Miss Fluffy. I love this little thing, what a cuddler.
Sugar will lean in and close her eyes when you kiss her. I’ve never seen a dog do this and it makes my heart burst open every time. I kissed her about a thousand times.
Here’s Sugar again, sacked out.
Beautiful Fleur with the amber eyes
Leo, sweet little man from the city
Lexy is so involved in eating grass she hardly notices the foot on her head
Luli so soft and sweet. She’s a true pleasure to be with.
Honey, gazing out the window
Near and dear to my heart, my favorite slug, I mean pug, Paulette. She will let you squish and mash her any way you want. She’s wonderful to cuddle. But don’t let her docile nature fool you, she can really boss a dog around.

I haven’t posted a blog since I’ve gotten my new iPhone. I’ve been Instagramming all my photos and posting them there and on FB. But I’m back and here are a few canine friends and flowers too.
This post is featuring Brody, a big tall happy Golden Doodle. He lives in Nova Scotia and came down here with his people to visit NY
The flowers just keep coming.
Minnie reminds me of my grandma here, that sounds weird but it feels right. And look close and you'll see Fluister in the shade, she doesn't look like any family members I can think of
oooo the pretty roses. I love this pic
Brody would walk with his head leaning against my leg as long as I kept petting his head. No need for lessons on how to heel
One of the views from where I walk the dogs
Just lookin' out the window, watching the cars go by..
Just hangin' my head over the couch, looking adorable..
How about that red on green? Love it.

Hot days, after a few hours outside, make the senses dull down into deep naps and this is what we have here.
Starting out with the only picture in this series of dogs that are actually up and moving. Emmett and Clover doing what they do best.
Stella, pretty Stella, asleep on my foot. It just kills me how cute she is.
Poncho's so asleep his face is mashed into the grass
Ozzy, with Buddy in the background
Fergus likes a good lap and I so happen to have one

I moved into my little cottage in late September and this is my first Spring here. I am so pleased with how beautiful the yard is. I spend many hours outside with the dogs in this great environment. (click on any pic to enlarge)
Here's the row of blooming flowers on one side of the yard
I would love to tell you the names of the flowers but, although I can care for them, I don't remember all
So lovely!
Daisies!
Bleeding Hearts
Buster the Boston Terrier, in his element
White Iris
Hope spends a lot of time looking for chipmunks
Stella and Buster in the background, waiting for me to throw the ball
I'm happy here, so are my dogs. Come by and visit if you like the idea of your dog staying too

Ayumi and I went to Japan a few weeks ago. It was my second time there and this time was even better than the first. We visited Nikko and Tokyo and here are some of the dogs we met. (click on any pic to enlarge)
We met this pug in Nikko on a rainy day at Toshogu Shrine
She had style, she had grace, she had a person who wore long socks
Sometimes you just have to carry your dachshund..
..and your Yorkie. It's hard being a dog in Japan..
Sporting her stripey dress while walking the streets of Tokyo
Most of my pictures are of dogs in the arms of their people aren't they?
Dachshunds are so popular here.

Spring as it progresses through the yard, we’re enjoying it, yes we are. (click on any photo to enlarge)
Allou decided to look silly for his picture and I was happy to oblige him
Buster decided to look suspicious in his. (Don't worry, if I take the ball, I'll throw it back)
Henry has let me know that he doesn't like his picture taken, but I'm good at catching him
Mid air, Buster always has time to fly around the yard
Who's a good lounger, hmm?
Rocky has long legs and shares in Henry's dislike of photography
Buster's version of sucking on a big cigar

I haven’t posted much lately. Not for want of dogs, dare I admit camera laziness? I’ll get in gear.
So pretty is this Cardinal who often visits my yard. I spied him though my kitchen window just by chance. He was sitting on the tallest branch of the bush when I first spotted him but the picture I took was blurry.
It’s time to get a bird feeder.
Perched on the Butterfly Bush
I hope he comes when the bush is blooming, what a colorful combination it will be
