Important Retirement Jobs

Important Retirement Job

Verna took this photo of me and Cabela as we were returning down the road from our mid-morning walk. Verna was walking with Bay Bay following us down the road toward our house seen in the background on the left.

Walking with the dogs is one of the most important occupations that we, as seniors, have. It gives them the necessary trip outdoors to do whatever comes naturally, and it gives us some very beneficial exercise during the several trips taken each day. Click on the image to enlarge.

Bob and the Dogs

Bob and the Dogs

Verna took this picture of me posing with the dogs on our driveway this afternoon. We were just coming back from a walk down the road. Left to right: Cabela, a five year old female blue and tan Miniature Pinscher (cropped and bobbed) and Beethoven (Bay Bay) a four year old male red Miniature Pinscher with original ears and tail.

The dogs keep us entertained and busy – Verna and I love ’em both. And yes, it IS tank-top weather in Wickenburg today. Click on the image to enlarge.

At The Dog Park

Bay Bay in the tub

We took the dogs to the dog park today and they really liked it. We need to go more often now that the weather is getting nicer and winter is mostly gone.

When we got to the park, the little tub they keep there was empty, so I filled it up knowing full well that Beethoven would jump into the water. He actually did a couple of times.

We got out his little tub at home and will fill it for him this weekend since he likes to get in there on some of the warmer days coming up. Click on the image to enlarge.

Desert Photography and First Signs of Spring

The neighbors house is on a two-acre spread, most of which is natural desert flora and fauna. Among those is this nice Beavertail Cactus (opuntia basilaris) which just started displaying its beautiful bright pink flowers. Click on the image to enlarge.

Beavertail Cactus Flowers

I took this photo of Verna taking the above photo. When she sees our Beavertails flowers opening, I’m sure she will post some nice close up cactus flowers. Click on the image to enlarge.

Bay Bay Is Four Years Old Today

Bay Bay

The Daddy tells me that I am four years old today. I am a happy boy and I love my family. The Mama and the Daddy adopted me two and a half years ago.

The Mama took this picture of me on the patio. Click on the image to make me big.

Dogs on High Alert

Dogs on High Alert

Our little watchdogs were on high alert this afternoon when they spotted the neighbor’s dog milling around in the field across the road. The other dog eventually went away and our little troop resumed napping on the sofa and loveseat. Click on the image to enlarge.
