Hope

My girl friend Susi sends us some hope.

In The Moment With Her

I'm working on my journal again and Kolo is supervising. (Keeping me company?)

“Dogs, lives are short, too short, but you know that going in. You know the pain is coming, you're going to lose a dog, and there's going to be great anguish, so you live fully in the moment with her, never fail to share her joy or delight in her innocence, because you can't support the illusion that a dog can be your lifelong companion. There's such beauty in the hard honesty of that, in accepting and giving love while always aware that it comes with an unbearable price. Maybe loving dogs is a way we do penance for all the other illusions we allow ourselves and the mistakes we make because of those illusions.”
― Dean Koontz, The Darkest Evening of the Year

Out Back

Kolo out back, surveys her kingdom. Perhaps sees some deer.

Tenderness

“Real fearlessness is the product of tenderness.”

Fried Chicken Lovers

Who would have guessed that Kolo LOVES fried chicken almost as much as my brother? Here they are sharing a snack.

Back Deck Smells

Late afternoon and Kolo is out on the back deck, well aware that the deer are nearby.

Waiting for Breakfast

Hurry Up!

Kolo waiting for breakfast. I love how she rests on her haunches.
