Doggo brothers from another mother living our best lives in Minnesota. Hayden (8): British #chocolatelab. Hunter (7): English Cream #goldenretriever
Hosting thanksgiving is exhausting. Little Ava is still at hunting boot camp so we did not get to see her. Perhaps at Christmas.

Northern lights, live from our driveway.

Northern lights from our driveway tonight.

I think somebody is watching me.

We will be the first to spot mom when she comes home.

I lie in wait quietly, camouflaged carefully to surprise unsuspecting package delivery people as they approach.

The little human stayed with us over the weekend. Sometimes we got dividends. Sometimes we were pillows.

Our niece Little Ava had her 6 month vet checkup this morning. She’s not so little any more. She now weighs 49.7 pounds and has lost all her puppy teeth.

There’s a critter in there somewhere. Not sure what it is , but I’m sure it’s there. And I’m never wrong.

Helping dad with autumn yard cleanup is exhausting.

So this happened. I got to spend lots of quality time with mom and dad, up close and personal.

Persistent attacks. Always.

Little Ava assists Hunter with a stick and stretches her legs on a road trip break. She’s passing through on her way home after a hunting trip to the Dakotas.

Five years ago today, Hunter came to live with us forever. He came with several intestinal parasites and severe Lyme disease. He’s all better now and we are both living our best lives together.

How it started (me in January of 2020).

How it’s going (me now).

We are out front enjoying a lovely autumn afternoon. Little did we know that the intruders were napping in the back.

Ava at 20 weeks old is almost as big as her mom, Mabel.

Porcupine peanut butter as my daily post-breakfast palate cleanser. I get a bedtime one, too. Vet lady has made some adjustments after my last visit, so I have some new meds and adjusted dosages to help my arthritis and allergies. Still on the shots for both twice a month.

And she’s off at 5am to the Dakotas for her first hunting trip. She’s eating one of the apples from our orchard for breakfast. Mabel, her bio mom, will be on the trip.

Every time we see her she’s more legs. At some point she’s going to be taller than us, we think.

It took an hour for Little Ava to pause long enough for us to get these photos. She’s just here for the night to rest at the midpoint of the journey to the waterfowl hunting grounds. She’s not trained yet so is just going along for fun, not for work.

At 1pm the first Wednesday of every month, I do my part to make sure the severe weather siren test is heard by everyone within earshot.

Great minds think alike. We’ve finished our breakfast and are waiting for mom and dad to make theirs so we can watch the football game in Dublin.

No one at our house got raptured yesterday. We’re off to the vet for Hayden’s follow up appointment. We’ll see if anyone got raptured there and report back.

The final game of bitey face before Ava leaves after spending a weekend with us. Hard to say if we will see her again before thanksgiving or not.
