We tried so many strategies over the years. One person gives out candy while the other: hides in a back room with loud TV over a white noise machine, keeps him on a leash in the living room and let him bark/howl, and when we got a Dutch Door he was able to "help"

This is Riker, my beloved hound who we said goodbye to in May. Here's to the memories of our best friends!

Here's the rock. If anyone knows what kind it is let me know. It's sort of shiny and has quartz veins throughout. It's from the front range in Colorado.

What a lovely tortie. I have my first tortie cat right now. Her name is Tortellini and she loves my partner and tolerates me.

Go Birds! 🦅🏈

(geese count as birds though not as cool as eagles)

I took this from a bike ride on Thursday when it was 68 F and sunny.
Three Canadian Geese flying across a blue sky over a pond. A large bare tree is in the foreground, its branches lit by the low afternoon sun.

Relaxed good girl guarding her toys.
A shepherd/beagle mix is sleeping in a wooden dog crate on a fluffy dark brown pillow. She is holding a red, yellow, and blue plush toy between her paws and her chin is resting on the toy. Some of her other favorite toys are visible beside her.

Sunday scenes of sweeties, soup, and sunset (taken through an open door - it's 7F outside!).
Cats in front of a fire. One curled up facing the camera and the other in a loaf staring into the fire. A large mug of kielbasa and multi-bean soup with buttered sourdough. A bright white sky behind a swath of bluish clouds that are lit from underneath by the setting sun. A big, leafless tree stretches across over half the sky. There is snow in the foreground.
