Double Dog Birthday

Today was the day we celebrated the birthdays of both Pete and Moses. The date for Moses was precise, but the date for Pete was an approximation. So we made it more festive by putting them together. We remember them with love and joy. (These dog photos are not gratuitous.)

The one in the forefront to the left is my old friend, One Foot. He was the last to roost, and spent the day with his friends. Still going strong, to my surprise and pleasure.

Moses chose to play by my rules, but he had his own games.

Moses was a well-trained dog, who obeyed. But he also thought for himself. I trusted him.

He loved to follow me from the woods and sneak up on me.

He loved splashing.

Not very scary…

Auggie has spent the past three nights sleeping cuddled up next to me, which is not his usual thing. I believe he’s seeking reassurance after so many weeks of having been abandoned (in his view) at the hospital. He’s dozing so contentedly this morning.
