This was taken April 18, 2021, when the pictured pup was not quite 1 year old. Mosi brought me one of her Most Treasured Objects … one of two remaining remnants of a pair of my canvas Keds I gave her as a baby. I let her destroy them and she never damaged any other footwear.

The Lab technician brings me these small treasures – “toys” of chewed cardboard scraps, milk caps – hoping I will toss them in the air for her. And I do.

It’s like she’s running in her sleep. ❤

From last night. You know, in case you were wondering what the back side of this looked like.

When I got home from work tonight and pulled in the driveway, this is what I saw.

My daughter lives in Ypsilanti, about 1:45 away, and asked me to send her pictures of the animals. Here is what they were doing when she made the request Friday, starting above with Daryl …
… Maggie …
… and Abbey, clearly adopting the notion of “she who dies with the most toys wins.”

Abbey is unlike any dog we’ve ever had. She’s a mix, for one – half Labrador retriever, half golden retriever. You wouldn’t know it to look at her, but her parents’ colors are fox and black.
She also has personality quirks that are new to us on this fourth dog we’ve had. None of our other dogs, for example, showed any inclination to lie on the arms or backs of furniture. And while they liked food and food containers and food wrappers, cardboard boxes were of no interest unless they, well, smelled like food.
Not this one. Sure, that box she has in the top photo might smell ever so slightly of the rice and spices that were wrapped in plastic within. But she is equally happy to bound off with a Kleenex box.
And it’s infectious, apparently. Maggie never showed any interest in boxes until Abbey had to have them. Curious, she started investigating, and now they fight over them.
Daryl? Well, as a friend of mine once noted, you could put a postage stamp in the middle of a sports stadium and a cat would find it and sit on it. Box = cardboard = paper = approved.

Some leftover summer dog photos:
(Sigh.) Since we got Abbey I don’t bother planting anything in this front bed. [June 22, 2016]
Maggie is guarding the sidewalk. Abbey is just enjoying the sun. [June 24, 2016]
They both do this rest-head-on-metal-rail thing. We people think it looks uncomfortable. [July 25, 2016]
