It's a dog's life (and a cat's, too)
Pepper relaxes on the couch, looking pretty good for a fellow pushing 16 years.
The dogs often track the morning sun, following the warmth as it shifts across the floor, languidly laying in the pools of light. This morning, however, Bogie seemed to spend more time lurking in the shadows. A close look reveals some dried blood, the aftermath of some too-vigorous roughhousing with Roscoe in the backyard. Not too worry; the damage was superficial.
Bogie strikes me as a dog of mystery in this shot, his eyes hidden in shadow, his thoughts more opaque than usual.
Roscoe enjoys Sunday's sunny weather after Saturday's often-torrential downpours -- and listens intently to the neighbor's dog whining and snuffling behind the fence.
"Hey, Roscoe," I call, "who wants a treat?" That gets his attention, his head whipping around as he focuses intently on The Treat Giver.
