My dishwasher sings a little tune to tell me when it is finished.
I have the extra bonus feature. Sparrow will rush in first to see what the dishwasher wants. Then she comes to tell me that the dishwasher needs me...
Sparrow cries and taps me with her paw if I don't go right away.
Sparrow is a young Parson Russell Terrier she is mostly white with a reddish-brown head. She is standing next to a carved wooden chest with brass corner pieces. She is waiting for me to follow her.

Well, the Parson Russell Terrier of course.
Sparrow is my 2nd.
Robin was my 1st.
They are little dog with a huge personality. Love adventures, playing and a good cuddle.
Stubborn, yet willing to please. Silly, smart and loving.
Robin did not bark until she was 5yrs old.
Sparrow has opinions...

Today my photos sent me these memories.
Several years ago I went to the vet JUST for
cat food.
I met the boys. They were a 2-year-old brothers & a bonded pair.
I called them Jellicle and Harlequin (he is the one with more white fur)They were the Best
boys. I miss them.
Two tuxedo cats are asleep in a wicker basket. There is also a colourful crocheted blanket in the basket. A black and white photo of two tuxedo cats. They form a heart shape. ♥️

Today:
"Every breath you take
And every move you make"
"Every step you take
I'll be watching you..."

The natural order of things... well toys anyway.
A wood floor strewn with dog toys. From the left pink Teddy Knots, blue Birthday Bunny, a yellow rubber ring, a spiky green ball, Kong bear, and Chippy the chipmunk. Above the toys are: A vintage side table on top is an iron lamp, a plant in a cream pot, and a clay bird, an oil painting of an older woman sitting on a park bench feeding pigeons. A vintage chair with woven cane arms, the seat and back are covered in brown velvet, and there is a knitted cream throw on the seat. A tall armoire with a beaded green glass decoration hung on the door handle.

"The #TerrierTuesday Theme for 9th September is 'Under Protest' #Terriers doing something belligerently - in a way only they can."
Sparrow is attempting to stand on the buffet while I'm telling her no. She believes her missing ball just might be found on the buffet rather than under it.

Sparrow has been quite excited about our neighbour. This evening I was able to get a few photos of the handsome fella. His antler rack has 6 points and he has 2 more points in the very centre.
He is standing under the trees at the edge of my woods.

I had a hummingbird come for 10 yrs.
He'd fuss at me if the feeder was not ready.
When his hatchings could fly he'd introduce them to me. He & the kids would hover in front of my face. Their mother yelled alarm from a safe distance.
The year he did not return, to show me his family, was so sad.

A reflection.
The drought of summer 2025.
Fallen leaves from my yard. They are yellow, red, or brown. A few are lacy. A very dry summer caused plants to die, trees to struggle many dropping their leaves in crispy heaps. The leaves of the stressed trees turned red, yellow, and orange.
