Late March Snow

it's snowing in Portland! it's almost April!

We are babysitting Lupine this weekend while Ryan is golfing in Arizona.
The cousins Lupine and Buck play well together.... Actually, Buck plays and Lupine puts up with him if the mood suits her at the time.
(Buck is the one in the "rain slicker yellow" collar)










































it's a full house with Shredder and two dogs, she keeps them in line well enough.















We, along with our next door neighbors, decided to combine our inefficiently used adjoining side yards to create one big doggie play land for Buck and their dog (Buck's B.F.F.) Duke. Thus having a shot at keeping our front and back landscapes intact *fingers crossed.* it's a work in progress and won't be complete until we get the swimming pool, dog house, and of course the sandpit for treasure hunting. But come summer, all the other dogs in the neighborhood are going to be soooo jealous!

And.... Yes, it's pretty much necessary to speak in a very shrill, high-pitched, annoying tone of voice when i speak to the dog. i do it purely for Peter's benefit. He loves it when i sound like a live version of scraping a fork across a dinner plate.

Love, Christina
