Animal Wednesday - and what a long time it's been!


Mom - realizing that her hair is wet - despite the white stretchy bathing cap she had on for swimming in the ocean. I've never seen anyone swim and come up with her make up still perfect. She was like Esther Williams that day.


Summer time is so busy for me and for all of us. The light calls from outside to bike ride, kayak, or swing in the hammock in the evening light. I've had minimal time to read your blogs and even keep up with mine!

To make it even busier, I was away in Atlanta on a business trip all last week and ended the week with a visit to my mom and the infamous Scruffy - who is the star of my Animal Wednesday.

Getting ready for a 3 mile walk - where are you Scruffs?



Let me lead the way - trot, trot, trot!


On the way back, his little legs got kind of tired, so I carried him for about 1/2 mile - after that he was just fine!


Scruffy and his cousin Sammi - they came from the same shelter.


Going so fast I can't take a picture!


Taking a break from running around.

Play, play, play!




This is a shot looking up at the hotel I stayed at in Atlanta. Very odd place, but nice rooms and interesting curves everywhere.



Happy Animal Wednesday and Happy August

yes, the light and warmth are conducive to lots of activity. I enjoy them so. Scruffy is too cute and how kind of you to carry him on the last leg.

Good to see you back!
I have been busy as well. Too busy for my own and other blogs. But that will change once all here in the house is done and autumn comes.
That scruffy is such a cutie! And your mom a real lady.
Lovely post Mim!
Enjoy your time home and will you see the girls???? Hope nothing will come between that.....

We're all crazy busy (or lazy) right now Mim! I've been very spotty on the blogs myself, catching up here and there.

bathing cap in the ocean?? hahahaha! That's her generation but she does look a bit Esther-ish there! Bless her heart.

I'm loving Scruffy and his pal. So cute! Emma could never walk even a mile in that heat. Good boy Scruff!
