More pictures of the dogs,
Teddy, still my handsome boy, I love that lighter color of the eyes
Teddy is the only one of he youngsters who really loves it when I toss him a toy for him to retrieve, he comes back with it too, though he doesn't bring it to me, just comes close enough for me to give him a treat and then I toss the toy again. I usually do it 4 to 5 times and then stop while he is still having fun.
he has 3 or 4 toys that I can toss pretty far, he loves it when those kong throw toys bounce all over the place.
this one is a favorite
Enya, she likes being outside and I often find her outside sitting in a shady and grassy area even when it is hot outside and everybody else hangs out inside. The flies don't seem to bother her.
My "Zwetschgen" (German plum), are almost ripe, the birds have been pecking for the last few weeks. I have been eating some here and there but they are not ripe enough yet to really taste good.
Teddy running, he has actually grown out nicely and is a lot faster and agile than I expected him to be, as a pup he was rather clumsy and couldn't keep up. Today I saw him racing from one end to the other and it looked so effortless and he was so fast and I was thinking he could cover a lot more ground without much effort.
Two curly tails, Teddy to the right and Enya on the left.
Cici in front of one of the new dog houses we got recently, this one I got for free on Freecycle. the previous owners were moving and didn't have room to take it with them. I hope the dogs will use it, when it gets colder I will put some blankets inside, or maybe I use straw or hay, not sure yet, I am also not sure how this will hold up to rain especially if it the wind blows the rain against the sides. This "log cabin" is actually rather flimsy built, it'snot near as sturdy as it looks. If the dogs like it but it isn't rain proof I might have to make some improvements to it.
Nanuk and the girls, everybody else has relaxed, Nanuk is the only one still looking at whatever got them upset somewhere in the distance
Nanuk is still looking to the far corner to make sure whatever got his attention stays away
The girls, Cici on he left, Leydi in the middle and Ayla to the right
the following pictures are all of Cici, she still gets along with everybody and annoys her momma by always getting right in her face then she rolls on her back and paws at Leydi until Leydi decides she had enough and either turns away or leaves
This is Leydi sprinting towards the fence
Ayla turned 5 years old on Wednesday. She hasn't changed much, she is always the star with visitors. She is very good in letting somebody know what she wants. I had a new lady this week to help me clean and she said when I left the room for a while Ayla kept going to the counter where the hot dogs were and sat pretty and looked at the hot dogs. She said it was very clear what Ayla wanted. Ayla does well in the heat and is a good guardian for the chickens and goats.
Nanuk is a bit over 9 years old and this picture was taken about a week or so ago before he blew his coat. We had a bit of a cooler wind today and I brushed him out, he looks half the size now.
Ayla all grown up

Ayla is not very big, just about 85 lbs, but she is fast and agile and pretty laid back
