great day at quiet waters…. met another senior.. jack.. 10 years old.

he had this way of resting his chin on my back – spent some nice time just hanging out together…

finished with some laps in the quieter side of the beach… bit wavy today!

took awhile to get these up from last week, but things have been out of sorts… tim is much better, but had some tick borne disease, and my care had to get sidelined a bit… luckily he had a dr. that prescribed the right meds in a timely manner…

all better now.. so here are some photos from last weeks trip to quiet waters… a great, great day, one of the first sunny days in a long time…

also.. happy to report, all back to normal on the salmon, veggie, and outing side of things. WOOF!

trip to philly

June 16, 2009

Great trip to philly to see everyone… Not enough time in each place, but great to somehow meet up with everyone. By the way, the Valley Forge Park is an incredibly great place for walking… can see and meet all sorts of other pups, and even watch some horse carriages and horse riders go by!

after a huge rainstorm moving through… finally able to make it to elaine’s and hang out with nan, my old housemate when i lived with elaine, and maggie and merlin. poor elaine had to deal with water coming into her basement…. so not as cheery of a homecoming as could be….

sage at elaines

next day, up a bit early and out to meet with my fan club co chair, emily… so great seeing her! she’s heading to china for peace corp for 2 years.. so will be a long time till we meet again… had a great walk, met tons of other great pups, and saw some fun sights.. cabins to horse and buggys

weak legs

May 2, 2009

not feeling too great today… stupid weak back legs acting up… unable to balance properly
got a swim in at quiet waters… but it was crowded with hyper dogs.. .not the usual week day crowd and i just wasn’t in the mood

christy has figured out making steps out of crates for me, so its easier to get in and out of the car… sure you’ll see it in one of these posts.

resting now while christy bakes up a little salmon for me….
hopefully this fit passes soon…

low energy...

just not much fun today
