Bandit and the Flowers

Life is short. Summer is shorter. Play with your dog.

River Cruising with Cruze...

Today I played hooky from housework and studio work and went river "cruising" with Cruze and Cooper.
We visited the Grand Ledge Island festival and enjoyed a river boat ride, gorgeous color, and a beautiful day.  Every so often you should run away from responsibilities for a while.  It is good for the soul.

A New Career Path?

 This week Cruze is sharing his blog with Pilot.  We went to Chicago and did a "shoot"  with Pilot and 2 of his friends ( more pics to come later).  We had a great time and would certainly love to make a living photographing pets.

Downtime

We spend a lot of time the first year teaching and practicing "downs." Its a good command to help manage energetic puppies and teach self-control. And just like people, the older the dog the easier it is to "down". Plus doing a down and staying down are two totally different things. How are you spending your "downtime" this weekend?

The beginning of fall...

Where we live in Michigan the earliest signs of fall are the falling of the leaves and walnuts from our walnut trees and the burning bushes turning red. What happens first in your backyard? Lets hope for a warm and colorful fall season.

It Must be Monday!

Cruze has the right idea for how to spend a Monday after a busy, work & fun-filled weekend in Chicago. Wouldn't it be nice to be so fully relaxed on a Monday morning?

How are you spending your last warm weekends of the summer?
