Beckon

It's 10 minutes to 1:00 a.m. and found Mary already asleep in my futon. I am so afraid that I'll be careless and accidentally step or sit on her!


I guess it's time to go to bed -- otherwise she'll start barking to beckon me to her side. What a spoiled little brat! :-)

Pillow


Mary enjoying another peaceful afternoon nap under my pillow. Hate to have to wake her up, but need to give her a chance to relieve herself outdoors and to get some exercise.

Sprawling


It's so hot today! We can't afford to have air conditioners installed just yet, so everyone is chilling out the best they can.


Such hot and humid summers must be especially rough on Dale!

Lion King


After checking all the different smells and scents in the new house, she seems feel at home in our "new" place.


Interesting how the angle and lighting of a shot can even make a dog look a year younger than her real age. 


I love the white fur on her chest -- kind of looks like a Lion's mane.

Futon Queen


Mary taking a nap in my futon. Have to be careful that I don't accidentally step on her!!!


She's got that look of "Don't bother me unless you have some food or a snack!"

Sleepy Queen


She is so tired from the hot and humid weather!


Moving has been a bit of a chore for her!





Lap Nap


Just licking for all she's worth. Probably enjoying the sodium from my sweaty hands since it's such a hot day today!


Now she's just kicking back and playing her roll of Queen Mary! :-)




Wonder what she's thinking about while she holds me up from doing work to get ready for the move ...

Slippery Wood


Dale inspecting our new home with all its clutter waiting to be organized.


We will have to buy some kind of matting so that she doesn't scratch the floor or slip and injure herself.

Itachi Dog VII


She's found a new toy!



Oh, please don't drink the water!


Time to dry off and head back home...

Rat Ears


On the way back home she checked out her regular sniffing points and prepared to mark her territory.


Have to be careful since I can't always see exactly what she is trying to eat or at least put in her mouth!


Did she she a stray cat?


I love her pose. Mini Pins have a huge, broad chest and sleek body line. She really is kind of cool looking. But her bulging eyes and huge ears make her look like a rat herself! :-)

"Jump, Dale! Jump!"


Fast swimmer! Especially when she realizes that she can't touch the bottom anymore!



And she finally got close to shore.

Now, instead of fish, she has found some ducks. Hope she doesn't try to catch them.



Shake, rattle, and roll!
