Luna, 15 years old, has been diagnosed with metastatic (from where?) lung cancer and given a very glum prognosis. She was also given prednisone and it's working its magic, improving her appetite and attitude so we can enjoy some more days together.
This might have been Cash’s first day in the river. This young dog is a water dog, searches it out, uses it in many creative ways. This was, so to speak, his baptism day.

Zip wonders what Jolt is thinking, wonders if she should try it too. Nahhh. Too many tennis balls to control.
This is yet another example of Border collie brilliance. Jolt does love the snow. He loves to chase snowflakes as they scatter around; he loves to catch snow as we toss it from the shovel; he loves to scoop his head into the loose snow and come up covered. Anybody know why? Zip wonders too. She thinks the stuff is ok but has too many other things to do than to play with it. Play in it, yes – with it, not so much.
Zip learning to multi-task. Next: THREE tennis balls! (not sure when that will be) She's a very serious little girl dog. The difficulty hasn't been for her to pick up two balls at a time; it's been for her to stay still long enough for me to capture this. She runs to me and usually spits one out. It's the only time she's really willing to share.
