Xena, Taking a Break With Titus

Xena, the conformation champion who does ALL the other things too is back today. This time though there's no work involved with this working dog. It's all about the play time with her buddy Titus.

Xena was full of it last night, bouncing around Titus like she was on springs in an effort to get him to play rough...

 
And she finally succeeded - this has to be why they're called "Boxers"!

 And then it was time for a cool drink from the fountain.  Xena and Titus have very different drinking styles, as you can see here.

Big Rocks

This past Saturday was spent on a bus trip to the UK. A loooong ride to go see Stonehenge and do some shopping in Salisbury.

At Stonehenge it was crazy windy but the sun was shining and it was mostly a nice day.

We didn't have a lot of time in Salisbury, just enough for lunch and then some yarn and needle shopping. Although I'm pretty sure instead of a pair of knitting needles I got magic wands.

Followed by a final bevvie at The Lazy Cow.

In the meantime the Brindle was spending a nice weekend with Uncle Jerry and Uncle Mark. Doing Brindle things, like tormenting the cat, playing with the lambs next door and helping out with some yard work.

He was most pleased that I brought him a present this time.

He's just having a bit of trouble figuring out what to do with it.

More Beach Time

Today we're back on the Outer Banks of North Carolina with Lynn Buck and Libby.

Every morning, we would go out at sunrise and Libby discovered the joys of chasing and digging for fiddler crabs.  Once she figured out that the holes were where they went, she would dig to China.

And she was always so pleased with herself :p

Come on mom or me and dad are gonna get all the crabs!

Not only were there fiddlers, but there were also horseshoe crabs, too.  They didn’t wanna play as much as the fiddlers.
