Today is our younger dog, Satori’s 2nd birthday !. guess that makes her 14.. same as Gabe.. !   She’s the one on the left.. shes a Labradoodle-doodle.. A lab/poodle crossed with a poodle.. She’s got the personality of a teenage girl.. I think..

.   I  The girls celebrated by getting their winter haircuts. As counter intuitive as it may seem. we need to keep their coats a little shorter in the winter because they get so much snow and ice stuck in their fur when we’re out running/walking/snowshoeing

Here’s Satori with her Fall ‘fro

And older ‘sister’ Chai looking a little wooly-mamothy

I couldn’t get the girls to pose for an after haircut shot.. but you get the idea.. they look  so diffent. I’m not used to seeing Satori’s eyes !

Granddog Reptar, he’s maxs aprtment dog up visiting from NYC…  idn’t seem to mind the lady’s new ‘Dos

Diane whopped up a birthday surprise for all the dogs.. Steak !.. Not something you usually see in a household of mostly vegetarians. 

She doled out some for each of the dogs.. The birthday girl. Satori, bg sister Chai, grand-dog Reptar.. and a Wicker, our friend Dan’s dog.. the smell of meat had them all in a frenzy !

Diane put the bowls done and the stuf was g-o-n-e in a flash.

This is Wicker

It was fun having a party for Satori. These dogs have brought so much love into our lives, it’s nice to thank them..

Please give our best wishes to all of your dogs….

Arf, arf folks,
