A Day Out With My Mom

I was able to spend a day with my mom, and my pup, Liam.  We drove to Arivaca.  We stopped at Gasden Coffee, they no longer allow dogs (inside or outside), so we took our coffee and sandwich to go.

On our ride home, I stopped so my mom could see the horses.  While sitting here, two white horses came from a side pasture to join this herd.  The significance of my mom and white horses is huge.

Thinking of my Boca Bear.

Like Boca, Liam thinks all empty containers are his to clean.

Ginger and her Lambchop stuffie.

Where is your microchip today?
Liam's microchip is at his right shoulder.  I don't know if it migrated there, or was placed there by the shelter.

A bean bag my son passed on to me, is now a favorite of the dogs.

For Liam's first birthday, I held a one mile dog walk.  These are some of his friends.

Our friend Steve likes to come and visit with the dogs.

The best way to begin each morning: coffee and dogs.

Liam loves the sunroof.

My mom bottle fed Gasteau when I found him as a three week old kitten, alone, in the bushes.  He is now safe with a local veterinary clinic.

Liam with Rudy.
Thank you to Rudy for the short time he shared with us, for showing Liam compassion for elders.  Rudy crossed over to the Rainbow Bridge within minutes of me meeting his owners as they returned from vacation.

Ginger.
The queen of everything is drooling.

Ray.
Now safe with his original rescuerer, Jill.

Hera.

I used to call Cierra "Moo" when she ate grass.  Now that Cierra is eating grass in doggie heaven, Hera is going to have to be "Baby Moo".

Love the views here.

I wasn't able to take what I needed for my four dogs when I left 27255.  The universe provided me with a like-new kennel during a recent visit to Goodwill.  Zane is a willing but not eager model.  He later realized he can see out the front window from this vantage point.
