We have been experiencing light rain and cool temperatures today (only 80 degrees). Both of the dogs are acting as if it’s a winter storm as they hibernate on their respective perches on the sofa and love seat. Click on the image to enlarge.
Critters
Cabela is Five Years Old Today
Hi! This is Cabela. I am five years old today. I am a royal blue miniature Pinscher. I was born on August 4, 2008 and I weigh fifteen pounds. My lucky hoomins adopted me from the Wickenburg Humane Society where I lived for a couple of weeks. I love to eat, play and sleep.
I have been with the Mama and the Daddy for three years now, and I am happy and healthy. Sometimes I get a little feisty, but that is my way of playing. I love to chase my squeaky toys when the hoomins throw them. I like when the hoomins throw my toys and I can play keep away with them. I run around the coffee table and jump up on the sofa and love seat to keep the toy away from them.

Snoozin’ and Cruisin’
The Mama and Daddy took us for a long, long ride today. When we were done, we were at the big house.
On the way, I decided to take a nap and the Daddy’s arm seemed like a nice pillow. He was driving at the time, but I didn’t care. Click to make us big.
Coolin’ My Heels
Sometimes after taking a long walk in the summer, I like to get in the tub the Mama keeps for me on the patio. It feels great on two pair of hot dusty puppy feet. Click on the image to make me big.
Quail Chicks Following Papa
We have been seeing lots of quail broods for several weeks now. I spotted a pair and a couple of chicks crossing the road near here and got this shot of them escaping into the desert under a mesquite. Mama is already out of sight but papa leads the two chicks right after her. Click on the image to enlarge.
Waiting for Breakfast
In the morning, the Mama and Daddy eat breakfast at the table. Bay Bay and I patiently* wait in the great room for them to finish so they can bring our breakfast. Click on the picture to make us big.
* Ed note – This image is of a patient moment when Cabela isn’t walking around under the table looking for falling food.
