Dog Meets "Big" Duck

Another glorious, but cold day in Olympia, Washington.

After a picnic lunch soaking up the sunshine and some vitamin D, my friend, Maxine, and I along with my trusty dog, Ebony, decided to walk the beach from Burfoot Park.

I actually put on sunscreen! It is January!

The Olympics were stunning.


Ebony sat while we watched the Blue Heron feed.


But she could not understand what that duck was out in the water and stayed on point until it got closer.


On closer examination.....it spoke.


This is Kitty who made her beautiful kayak and was enjoying our incredible January winter day.

First Taste of Summer

The Pacific Northwest finally experienced sunshine and warm temperatures!

I decided to take the two dogs to Budd Inlet in Olympia, Washington, for some cooling off water play. Look at this beautiful scene with the Olympics in the background!


Ginger is the swimmer, while Ebony plays in the shallow water.




With coaxing and after becoming uncomfortably hot, Ebony will retrieve a stick if not thrown far. I really do not know if she thinks this is fun or if she is trying to please me?


Summertime and the living is easy!
