Where Is My Sunscreen?

Eyes closed against the bright sun, Everett is patiently waiting for me.
Even though there is still a small amount of the white stuff in this photo, today was a beautiful day.

When I arrived home this evening, I thought both dogs would be anxious to simply lounge outside in the warm air. Not so! Ansel was a serious pain tonight, so I took him out for a longer walk without the little girl...not minutes had passed upon our return when the whining started up yet again!

Everett chased a few rabbits today--it is such a pleasure to watch her run after the destructive (but cute) little pests. I would NEVER leave her outside overnight, but sometimes I wish she could stay outside all day and all night, to guard the garden against them. She charges into the yard after our walks, hoping to scare some into scampering. We always go straight from our walks to the south lawn, and THEN into the house, because the garage entrance to the house is too tight of a corner for two dogs looking for breakfast/dinner, yet needing a human to open the door. Instead, we spring ourselves through the garage door to the yard, like runners charging out of the starting blocks. They run their race, then head for the house door where I can let them inside in an orderly fashion. So even though Ansel had an extra walk, Everett got to chase the rabbits. Overall, a pretty good day for the little girl.
