“This is odd,” thinks Java. “Hey! Murphy! Is something wrong with you?”

“This is way too boring. Maybe if I run past Luke with this hunk of paper I can stir up some kind of game.”

“No! Luke! Hey! I’m behind you! You’re going the wrong way!”

“What do I have to do to get your attention?”

“I have secrets I can tell you. I know you never get in the house. Did you know that…”

“Sorry, I didn’t mean to upset you.”

Last week was one of those kinds of week. Work was crazy. Every night I came home beat, unable to focus and get anything done, and frustrated because there is so much I should get done. Yes, my fence is finished and I am certainly thankful for that! But now I desperately need to seal…

It’s the Little Things

I took Friday off last week with the intention that I was going to do some writing, work on my blog, edit a bunch of photos I haven’t had time to deal with, and read some other people’s blogs. Did I actually do any of those things? Of course not. I arrived at the barn…

Java is a GOOD Dog!

Java is a GOOD Dog!

Java spent her first day in the kennel today. A realtor was coming for a walk through the house, so I figured it was as good a day as any to give a full day a try. Java seemed to be just fine when I got home. But I don’t think she understands that she…

  2. What a wonderful series of photos. They’re priceless! I really mean that. You should frame them!

    My K has convinced my friends horse to play tug with her. It was crazy to watch, back when K was a pup, how she’d take the tug toy and try to tease the horse with it. Eventually, the horse took the other end and a small game of tug ensued! Now, the two play with a stick together. So wonderful…

  3. This is so cute! I was laughing and crying! Java reminds me so much of my Bailey!! He always has to be right there in the horses legs, face, whatever, the closer the better!

  4. Mary…This post and the last post are great. Snow, yuck! But Java and the horses are so sweet. And the photos taken near the St. Louis River are spectacular. You picked out a great place to get away from it all.
    Thanks for your visits.

  5. Mary– Java is the key-ootest! Love the pics from the last post too. Sorry I missed the one before until now. Hope today is a little better.

  8. It’s been fun watching this crazy relationship develop between Java and mainly Luke because Luke just pays more attention to other living things while Murphy tends to be off in his own world. When the place does sell, I’ll miss being able to catch these daily moment, which I guess is why I try so hard to capture them now.
