We have a lot of snow.  I mean a lot of snow!  Our version of making lemonade is to go snowshoeing. Daisy came with us.  Although her paws are large, they don’t work quite as well as snowshoes; after a while, we had to turn back while Jen and Sarah continued through the woods. They […]

At least someone’s enjoying it!

Daisy got a new bed.

Sarah kicked off a splendid Christmas holiday by planting the star atop the tree.  We had Jen’s parents and brother for Christmas, and her sister and Geoff for New Year’s, with a visit from the Scherr family in between. Sarah’s stocking was quite full. Even Daisy got presents, including a nice new bone. After Christmas we got some […]

Daisy was outnumbered ten to one, but she stared them down anyhow.

The dead apple tree in the field in front of the house finally gave up the ghost.  On the bright side, it’ll make mowing easier — I hit it pretty often with the tractor. Daisy, however, was mournful.

Sarah had a riding lesson on Saturday. It was a splendid day, and Sarah got Skarloe moving. After lunch, we climbed Burger Hill.  It was fun until Daisy mauled a six year-old.  (Not really.)  (But kind of?) Sarah was not happy about it.

In the afternoon, Daisy had agility training, but she was not very enthusiastic about going over this frame.  She’s […]

Today, Sarah and I visited the Sheep & Wool Festival at the Dutchess County Fairgrounds, with John and Diana Rice and their son Mason.  Jen stayed home to work on Sarah’s Halloween costume.  In addition to sheep, we saw goats, llamas, alpacas, angora rabbits, vincuñas, and many, many, women who seem to spend an inordinate […]

We had a spectacular Columbus Day weekend, with mild weather, colorful trees, and a happy puppy. On Saturday, Jen, Daisy and I climbed Burger Hill while Sarah was on a playdate with her friend Anna. On Sunday, Daisy graduated from obedience school.  Here she is enjoying a cheese stick.
