Cat Agility!

Because my cat Willabee is awesome like that!

Extraordinary!

“A dog has no use for fancy cars, big homes, or designer clothes. A water logged stick will do just fine. A dog doesn't care if you're rich or poor, clever or dull, smart or dumb. Give him your heart and he'll give you his. How many people can you say that about? How many people can make you feel rare and pure and special? How many people can make you feel extraordinary?”
― John Grogan, Marley & Me

I'm lucky enough to have two!

Dog's Life

“But in this life, he is dog. His life is ocean, stick, ball, sand, grass, ride in the truck, sleep by the bed, look deep into the eyes of humans, lure them outdoors, greet them with a burst of joy when they come home, love them. Fill this brief life with more. And more.”
― Jacqueline Sheehan, Lost & Found

Today's Lake Lavon Pup Portraits!

I love having the lake ten minutes away from my home. I can take my dogs there on a whim. There's not much else you can do in the afternoon in Texas!

One very happy dog!

Today's Lake Lavon Pup Portrait - Deserted Island

A Gorgeous Reflection at Lake Lavon

This was our lake before we headed out!  The clouds were very pretty.

Sunshine

“Keep your face always toward the sunshine - and shadows will fall behind you.”
― Walt Whitman

Life with a dog

“Once you have had a wonderful dog, a life without one, is a life diminished.”
― Dean Koontz, A Big Little Life: A Memoir of a Joyful Dog

Since I've own these two dogs, I never knew that dogs could make such a difference in ones life.

 

Today's Pup Portrait at Lake Lavon!

The dog's don't appear to be thrilled having their picture taken... for the 100th time!

Sweet Gorgie. Saving lives... one drop at a time!

 Thro my fabrit ball peaze!

Having fun is a lot of work!

 

Jumper's Titles!

Here are my two Rockstars with their title ribbons from this weekend's agility night trial!  Gorgeous titled Jumpers Champion and Handsome titled Performance Masters Jumpers!

I must say that this past night's Masters Jumpers course was a thrill to run.  The best part was that I got to do it twice!  Lisa Jarvis designed an awesome course... it flowed like a dance.  I felt exhilarated when it was over.  Oh how agility can be so addicting.

So we came home with Q's and toys again! 

Gorgeous & Handsome

Sweet Bumble

Cold Morning in June!

Hard to believe it's 59° out this morning in June. What a pleasant way to start a new day. 

Sister Grove Hike at 75° out!

Wow, I can't believe how cool it is in June!  Sneaking in a hike before it gets hot again.

Gorgie photobombed my photo!

Gorgeous Life = Happiness

“If you want to be happy, be.”
― Leo Tolstoy

This is Gorgeous being...

There is no ball out there Gorgie is going for.  She just loves to run and catch the waves, and then try to catch the water coming down that she has splashed up.  She is a self entertained pup... who is extremely happy in life.  She makes me smile.
