Pieces of October

Tori at rest. 












Bette in grass.

















Lucy after a swim.

















Miles and Lucy, old friends.

















Puddle crossing.












Henry and Linda.

















Linda!

















Xmul and Hazel play chase.












Steve comes to say hi to me, while everyone else watches the Xmul show.













Xmul takes a break, Mo spots me.













Back to playing ...Xmul and Hazel face off.

















Xmul takes a color coordinated break with little Murci and Steve.



Murci is nearly full grown and almost old enough to be spayed.
Lots of energy, lots of attitude!

Thank you Sir, May I have another?

For some reason black dogs are the least likely to be adopted.  I don't know why.  
We have many black dogs and I think every one of them is striking.
Jack pauses with some of the gang.  He has a  beautiful coat.












Lovely Luna is 2 years old.

















Posey is 5 and, I think, one of our prettiest dogs. 














 


Her ears don't usually stand up.
Walking with Tito and Miles.

















Tito knows that black dogs are the best.
Self-doubt is not his style.

















He often pals around with Reggie on walks.
I don't think Tito notices the size difference.












A few of our palm trees succumbed to a blight so we're trying again with something else.
Sean has plenty of supervision. Pete, Zoot and Posey in front.













Frankie has been a happy girl; she loves having visitors.
The Couchsurfers/Helpxers that brought Tori stayed on for a couple weeks.












Kaya gets to know the gang.

















Linda watches the ever helpful Kaya fix one of the dog beds.

















Tori wants to help.












Twiggy and Tori keep an eye on things while Kaya and Olli paint. 
Oliver has been traveling frugally for years.

Olli and Tori.

















Dog fun.  Jack, Hazel, Amber, Tori, Daisy and Mega












Bette, Lucy and Tori on a walk.  There isn't a dog here that doesn't like Tori (her new nickname is Cookie Monster.). She learns quickly and wants to please; it breaks my heart that people thought she was too much trouble.  She's one of the sweetest dogs I've ever met!

















Bette and Tori on a salt pile.  After a rain they're as hard as coal.

















Oliver and Kaya say their goodbyes (Paco, in the background, crows his goodbye).

















Thanks so much to you both, for saving Tori, and for all your help around the place!
You're always welcome here. 












Linda doesn't understand why everyone can't stay forever.

beta site

Countdown to the apocalypse.













Hazel 's bum leg (from a break) is much stronger.  
She and Linda are inseparable.

















Linda has finally lured Hazel into the water.  
She won't swim yet, but she'll wade.














She likes to run with the bigger girls too.

















She's learned that it's sometimes wiser to stand still.
When Lucy and Lily speed past.













When she finds herself between Shirley, Zoot and a butterfly.
 

Tito stands aside for no one!

Tito runs along the property we've begun renting. 
We intend to turn it into a dog rehab/exercise area (and eventually spay/neuter clinic).  
It's a bit inland, near our house and on our main walking trail.













It was a shrimp farm; the existing building is odd and in extreme disrepair.  It's flanked by 2 large concrete pads with hangar type frames. There are concrete pools, at least one of which we're going to use as a swimming pool for dogs with hip problems. 
Lots of work to be done!

 

Otto has recovered from tendon surgery and can go on walks again!
Blue, Otto and Linda


















A few random cute pairings:
Eve and Henry
 
Alice and Osita
   
Monkey and Blue

Again with Hazel

Hazel has been with us a month.  
Lex,Hazel and PuppyG













She's a happy little dog.

















Walks are great fun! 


















































Hazel and her best pal Linda. 
















  

Everyone but Hazel loves the water 
(including the adolescent flamingos in the background).













It's the only time Reggie will leave her side.

Even Linda's enthusiasm can't convince her.

















Linda is happiest soaking wet and covered in goo.














l-r Lucy, Hazel, Tito, Lily

















heading home -Hazel's 1st walk.
