Hounds on the Loose!

Well, not really.  On leashes in the woods.  But super cute, right?  Jeb (soon to be renamed if we keep him - we're thinking Beorn) on the left and Sadie on the right.  Kobe stayed home from the woodsy hike since he's an old man, but he still did about 1½ miles today.  And these hounds covered about 4 miles!

Shenanigans

Stuck around Portsmouth this evening for dinner with this beloved, Mr. Segundus, our SBF (shared best friend). He's just moved into a new apartment and we took this silly shot while checking out his awesome little deck. Love him!

On Fire

The view at the museum as I stepped out the side door to head home around 5:15.  I've been keeping an eye out for brilliant fall colors to photograph, but most trees in my area haven't yet turned or have turned, but are rather dull this year.  Not this guy - he was on fire!

Puppies!

Today we met Jeb, a little bluetick coonhound mix who we're going to foster for awhile (unless we fall in love and "flunk fostering" by making it a really long while).  I couldn't pick just one shot of his cute, skittish little self, so here are four!

Seeking Comfort

A chilly, rainy night after a kinda sad, rainy day requires a mug of tea.  My great-aunt is not doing well (in a nursing home with pneumonia).  I talked to her today, told her how much I loved her, and that's all I can do for now.  Today's just been one of the hard ones.

Fortified

Thing 2, ensconced in the pillow/blanket fort his auntie built for him.   A week ago, this little guy was in the hospital with pneumonia, so I was awfully glad to be with him at his house tonight.
