A tan-colored dog is laying on a floor cushion with various dog toys scattered in front of his paws. A brindle-colored dog is also laying on the cushion, with her head resting on the tan dog’s back.

#dogs Getting a banana-flavored treat when what you really wanted was a piece of dried salmon.
A brindle-colored dog laying on a cushion with her front paws tucked under her chin. The facial expression is one of disappointment, or maybe resignation.

PJ seems a little concerned about turning 9 years old today.
A small tan dog is laying on a floor cushion, with his face resting on his paws. The expression in his eyes and the position of his brow creates a look of worry or apprehension.

Some people consider the desert mallow a nuisance weed. Our local bees love it, however, so we keep a few in the yard anyway.

Seen along the path during the afternoon dog walk.
A small brown rock is laying on top of a large rock. The words “Trump is a racist” is written with a black marker on the small rock.

The look of defiance.
A medium sized brindle boxer-mix dog stands facing the camera. Her eyes are slightly squinted, and her expression proclaims she has no intention of leaving the sunny yard to come indoors.

Spent the morning doing pre-winter yard clean up. Found this tiny cholla sprouting near the clothesline. It's always exciting to find a new cactus popping up in the yard.
