After putting in a very busy week with Bright Spot Therapy Dog duties, the dogs and I spent a fun, relaxing weekend at home spending time with my two daughters, Jeanne and Margie, Margie’s husband Jay Stebbins, and their English Pointer Moose, the famous FidoLoves dog.
On Saturday, the fabulous weather lured us to take an early hike along the Chesterfield Gorge. I had been there just two weeks ago with high rushing water. Now the lack of rain has resulted in low water levels prompting Moose, a water magnet, to take a swim while Jay, an amazing professional photographer, took photos of the photogenic dog who loves to strike a pose on cue. After the hike, we just hung out back on the farm, the dogs playing together in the back hayfield. Our dog Annie and Moose are great buddies, born on the same day, in the same year, the duo will turn 6 years this July. The pair have been playing together since they were just a few weeks old.
When our company left, I spent an hour or so puttering around in the garden, planting a few new plants, doing some weeding, and some necessary watering. The dogs hung out by the fence watching me work, lying in the cool grass. I need to spend more weekends like this… just relaxing, sitting out in the Adirondack chairs, chatting with family or friends. A Great Weekend!
