Louise is not allowed on the living room couch, but she is tall enough, when she cheats and stands on it with only her front paws, to look out the big picture window down into the back yard (which is one story below since this is the second floor). We live on the high point of a court and are less than 1000 feet from the river (which we can see in the winter when the trees are bare), so we have a great view from our picture window. I assume she is either looking down the block at human or dog activity, or spying birds or squirrels that are right up at her level high in the maple tree. She is wearing her summer ribbon collar (which I found at a craft show one winter) made out of a neat palm-tree piece of ribbon. Louise loves summer and I like to think, since yesterday was summer solstice, that she was watching astronomical summer arrive. Gosh, I love that dog!
This is part of the Black and White Sunday Blog Hop. Thanks to Dachshund Nola and Sugar for hosting.
Just another DogDaz morning at the zoo ❤
