No posting today. Too caught up in the football games and Verna’s excellent cooking.
Family
The Dog Park
We took Bear, Cabela and Bay Bay to the Wickenburg Dog Park today. The dogs all enjoyed it including little Bay Bay who decided to get in the water tub. Click on the image to enlarge.
The Perch
The Mama took this picture of Cabela and me laying on top of the love seat. We like to take naps up here.
I didn’t know that dogs can look out the window from here and see what is happening on the dirt road outside until Cabela showed me. Now we both can bark at people, trucks, cars and other critters we see outside.
I have been with my new hoomins for three weeks now and I am getting very well adjusted at the new house. I like it here at the new house and I love my new hoomins. Click on the picture to make us bigger.
Lookout Post
This is Beethoven (whom we call “Bay Bay”) atop the spa cover. He likes to jump up there to watch the desert critters in the wash next to our house. He sees quail, cottontails, squirrels and jackrabbits. He barks at them and acts like he wants to jump through the screen enclosure to run after them.

Jumping up on the roughly three foot high spa cover is no problem for him. He uses the steps to get up but I’m sure that he could jump on top without them. Our bed is about the same height and he has no problem jumping up there with us when we retire for the evening.
Earlier this week we used the spa and were out drying off when we let the little dogs come out on the patio. Bay Bay decided he would jump up to see what critters were out there and did a splashdown right in the middle of the spa. I quickly fetched him out and had him in a towel within a few seconds. Poor little guy.
I thought that he would be reluctant to jump on the spa cover after the water incident, but he was back at his usual lookout post later the same day. We will now wait until the cover is on before letting him out on the patio from now on. 😉
Bob and Bay Bay at the Dog Park
Bear and Cabela visited the groomer today for trims and baths. In the meantime, we took Bay Bay to the dog park. We all enjoyed the visit, especially Bay Bay. And just look at those gorgeous mountains and blue skies in the background. Click on the image to enlarge.
Sunday Dinner
Lots of football today, but I took time to grill a ribeye steak (bone-in) to compliment Verna’s baked potatoes and poached asparagus. What you see here is actually two meals since we split it and still had leftovers. Click on the image to enlarge.
