Kerouac at three months

Posting less and less lately as days are filled with puppies and planting seedlings. I don't know which grows faster: Kerouac and Lucy, or the seedlings. Kerouac is already 31 pounds at 3 1/2 months old! Lucy is up to 20 pounds, and is ornery as ever: I caught her with half of a baby squirrel in her mouth today! She had already eaten half of it...EW! It's hard to think that just a couple months ago, she was as small as that squirrel, and now she's hunting them!


This photo, taken by my good friend and photographer, Paul Simpson, shows Lucy in all her alligator-mouthed glory!

This weekend, I will venture south (how unlike me) to the rolling hills of Kentucky. stay tuned...

Some happy pictures

The Thief, Big Brown (BB). The other day I was cleaning out their water pails and turned around to find BB had stolen my Brillo pad!


BB and Ruffian love rolling in grass - especially fresh-cut grass






BB and Ruffian also love Chris. They are sweeties who live to give and receive affection








Just watch out: they sometimes nip when they get excited!


Look at those muscles!


Another lover, Gwennie. She loves belly rubs


Finally Yeti, who has healed nicely from his abscess from a few weeks ago. Now if only I could do the same!

Gwennie's first trip to the park in images

For a sleddog, Gwennie sure could pass for a pet. She walks excellently on a leash, stays right with me, doesn't pull, is cuddly and smiles a lot.



Sophie and I took Gwennie on her first trip to the park last night. She (and we) had a great time. I think these images speak for themselves. Enjoy!
