We were playing cards outside, and Oliver wanted to go exploring.  To save him from, you know, being hit by a car, my dad tied him up. Oliver acted like he’d lost his best friend: put his face in his paws and wept silent doggie tears.

Kim and Allen’s baby chicks provided endless hours of entertainment for their kids, their friend’s kids… I love the look on Brenner’s sweet face!

I had the joy of spending a week with Oliver at my mom and dad’s house, while Dan and Cara (his owners) went hither and yon.  Cara took this photo yesterday; I love it!
