For all those that I have been unkind to, have growled at, or lunged at. For all the cats that I have menaced; all the cat poo I have eaten; all the goose poo I have rolled in; all my barking and carry on. I ask that you forgive me. I am but a simple, imperfect dog and mean no harm. Please accept my humble apology.
– Sofie Bear

Charles Fall 2017
Louise and Sofie Fall 2015
Louise Fall 2011
Squash Fall 2007
Autumn days come quickly, like the running of a hound on the moor.
–Irish proverb
Last week it was summer and this week it turned to true fall: welcome The Autumnal Equinox.
Fall was always Squash E Bears perfect time. His winter coat would start to bloom and he really looked like the perfect cuddle bear. Gosh, I miss that dog every day. I do love the current pack but there was something about Squash that even made people stop their cars in the middle of the street and ask about him. It was not really how he looked, though he was a formidable giant ball of fluff, he exuded this gentle energy that could be felt all around.
Fall is my favorite season. I love the colors, the crisp air, the smell of cider, and the pumpkin. I love how the animals start to gather all their hordes of food for winter, scurrying up and down the trees. And the smell of wood fires burning. Fall doesn’t last very long in the Mid-Atlantic anymore, we tend to go from summer heat to winter cold very quickly. So, I breathe in every moment I can get.
Oh my, I think I need to go make an apple pie. What do you love most about fall?

This is a shot from 2018. Nothing has changed except we are all 2 years older.
Charles loves to lie on the deck in the warm fall sun. I think he would stay there all day if I let him.
Have a wonderful Black and White Sunday.

I never know where Ratso will be. Sometimes on a ledge, sometimes in the cave. All I know is that Mini Cooper likes to have him around.
I cannot imagine a life without cats!

You know when your animals are happy and when they are not. Louise was in the happiest of moods when I took this shot. She wanted something, of course, usually a treat. I love to see them smile. Have a wonderful Wednesday!

No matter how demanding this little dog can be, when Charles looks at you with that smile, you just give him whatever he wants.
Happy Black and White Sunday!

Louise loves her rain cloud. It actually has 2 raindrops that came inside it which are somewhere in the toy box but it is the gray cloud that she wants to snuggle with tonight.
At least someone appreciates Mom’s playing on a beautiful #caturday
