The Courtyard

Now that Summer is over, we expect to see some changes to the shrubs. The flowering plum (barely visible at the lower right) and the red birds will lose their leaves. The Cleveland sage bushes will keep their leaves and (hopefully) will come into bloom with fragrant little purple flowers. I will be getting some more statuary, a chiminea and a decorative southwest style bench. Click on the image to enlarge.

At The Dog Park

We took Bear, Cabela and Beethoven to the dog park today. Of course, there is a convenient fire hydrant available for the boy dogs. Here you can see Beethoven and Cabela inspecting it. Click on the image to enlarge.

Good Weekend

Lots of football, food and family. Nothing to post other than to wish that you had a good weekend too.! 🙂

Car Wash

We stopped at the Humane Society car wash event today to get the desert dust rinsed off of the old truck. It was for a good cause since donations went to the benefit of the Humane Society of Wickenburg (NO relation to HSUS the commie anti gun idiots). Click the image to enlarge.

Meet Beethoven

On an impulse, after seeing an item in the local newspaper that featured a “Pet of the Week” item, we went to the Humane Society of Wickenburg (NOT affiliated with HSUS) and adopted Beethoven, another Miniature Pinscher. Now, Cabela has a new little brother.

Beethoven (AKA Bay Bay) is a little underweight and has been through several adoptions that did not work out, but we have had him here all day and think that he will be just fine with us and our other two dogs. He is about eighteen months old and at this time, he is on my lap enjoying a nap and back rub.
