Putting a bully in his place

I was watching Pookie and his mom have a nice photo session,

when a monster in a rubber apron thought it would be fun to start scaring us.  

We didn't think it was funny.  He completely spooked Pookie.

I gave that guy a piece of my mind.

Not my twin

Out at the bluffs, I met a dog who looks like me.  Her name is Angel.

First I had a soaring thought that we might be siblings, maybe even twins.  When you are adopted you always wonder if there's another dog running around with your same genetic makeup.  

But after we did some comparisons and measuring, I had to admit that it was unlikely. 

In my bluffside roamings, I will continue to  search for that mirror-image self.  I will never give up hope.

 

Brief encounter

I was busy with my squirrel work, when Pookie came by.

It's always nice to see a colleague whose work I respect.   

We compared notes briefly, then each returned to our solitary labors.

The small dog's burden

Bruno is a dog who has even more trouble being taken seriously than I do. 

I have been giving him some pointers on appearing tough.

He has been making good progress.

Lovely evening

Balance

I've had my head buried in my work.

But I still try to take time to smell the roses.   

Newcomers

Recently, a dogwalker has been coming by the bluff with her charges.

Everyone has been captivated by the new guys on the block.

Everyone except me.

The pause that refreshes

One of the things that's nice about our bluff gatherings is the libations.  Suse from across the street often brings over a bowl of water for us to enjoy.

Everyone appreciates it, especially on hot days.  

I've noticed that dogs often seem more peppy after they stop by the water bowl.

The universal language

Encountered some itinerant folk singers on the bluff.

We discussed our musical tastes.  I told them about my enthusiasm for Kanye West. 

 

Their own music seems to be Bible-driven, but they didn't proselytize.

 

 

Warmed by our fellowship, I bade them farewell and continued on my way.

 

Excitement at the bluffs

The buzz at the bluffs last night was over a palm frond that Dolce carried up from the hillside.

Everyone gathered around to admire her trophy.

Then she and Buddy ran around with it like a pair of Budweiser Clydesdales.

I was feeling a little under the weather, but I still enjoyed the excitement.
