Olive is wearing one of the Weatherbeeta coats here. She’s less than thrilled about it, but it does its job!
Sleek black dog looks mournful wearing a blue coat that covers her entire back. The blue materials seems like weather resistant, puffer coat material.

She spent all day guarding our home against a crew laying fiber optic cable in the neighborhood, so she’s all tuckered out now snoozing in a sweater!

Shaker Village at Pleasant Hill was home to a perfect sunshine-filled fall afternoon!
Fall trees with gold and orange leaves. A path lined with fall trees with a white fence visible on one side. A white fence bordered by a fall tree with the sun shining through the branches, illustrating a perfect November afternoon! Small white goat with brown spots stands still.

Vicious terrorists or innocent good girls? Maybe your birthday 🎉 bff can decide? Dolly Dot and Olive wish your bff a Happy Birthday 🎈 !
Curly white doodle type dog and sleek black lab type dog playing “bitey face” on a sofa covered very sloppily with a maroon cover. Sleek black dog in green harness lies beside a half seated curly doodle dog in a green harness on a sofa covered with a maroon cover with two throw pillows cast to the end of the sofa. Ironically one of the pillows reads, “All you need is love and a dog.” What about two Olive and Dolly Dot ask?

Bernheim Forest was lovely in the fall sunshine!

The clouds prevented us from seeing the moonbow tonight, but the falls are still majestic!
Dark photo of Cumberland Falls framed by railing, tree branches, and boulders. No flash photo of Cumberland Falls. The moon provided a lot of light, but it was too cloudy for the moonbow. No flash photo of Cumberland Falls. The moon provided a lot of light, but it was too cloudy for the moonbow.

Meanwhile, it was a perfect day to visit Shaker Village.
Gentle, grassy hills under a blue sky with white fluffy clouds. A lone Adirondack chair faced a fire pit and a tree against a backdrop of the native meadow plants. Baby goat sends a message about dinner time! (Small black goat with white in face is curled up in what appears to be a bowl) atop a hay covered barn floor. A white, red crowned chicken pecks through collected plant stalks, ensuring no good thing is left behind!

Sometimes walks happen on neighborhood streets; sometimes they happen in state parks. Either way, we’re happy to go!
White curly dog and black sleek dog are walking on individual leashes attached to harnesses. A human hand is visible holding both leashes. A curly white dog on leash smiles at the camera in front of a partially visible sign for Cumberland Falls state park. The lower half of a guy holding the leash of a black dog facing forward is visible.

Thanks - I sure think so! He came to us at the age of 3-ish after having been adopted and returned multiple times, all after making it to a rescue org from a sad start to his life. We put a lot of love into that dog, and he sure returned the favor ❤️!

From our OG pack, our big fella Magee frequently slept with us, but he often got hot and moved to a dog bed beside our bed during the night. We had a crowd with two grownups and a human sized dog in a double bed! The little pups, Ducky and Zhiva, had to he crated at night for their own good!

Our current pups love to be on the human bed but can’t sleep there at bedtime - Olive wouldn’t sleep (she gets overstimulated easily) and Dolly Dot would over-snuggle (since physical boundaries don’t apply to her!)
