The golden light

Oh, you thought we were done with indulgent dog posts did you? Well, you'd be wrong. I had so much fun taking these two out during the golden light and snapping pictures while Miller ran them around. What is it about the country that makes the light so delicious?


There is something inspiring about the pure joy these two get out of having our full attention. They require so little of us, just love. They don't mind if we didn't see that their water bowl was empty, or that we didn't realize they needed to go outside before we ran to the store (who again authorized this parenting thing??). It's the biggest treat for them to get to spend time with us like this, and I'm pretty sure they were aware of that. Life turns heavenly when we toss the ball - or in this case, the freaky octopus bunny - in the sunshine.

Bliss.

Fetch, two ways:


Maddie fetches anything and has a tough time giving it up, even though she desperately wants you to throw it again. She'll fetch until she keels over from exhaustion and will dive from six feet high into the pool for a toy.



Georgia will fetch nothing, ever, but will run after the toy you've thrown and jubilantly return to you, hoping the object has magically teleported itself back into your hands so you can play that fun game again. She's a special one.


Sweet sleepy pup, with her best friend Eeyore. These two do everything together.
These two were t.i.r.e.d for the rest of this trip and practically comatose a few days after. We can't wait to return to Settlers Crossing next spring, with both the dogs and the Peanut in tow. I sincerely hope they take as much delight in her as they do in us (and I'm pretty sure she'll find everything they do hilarious).
