Jig can usually be counted on to be entertaining, but the starkness of the original photo brought special effects to mind. So here is Jig, altered slightly using a Photoship filter.

Dog park, Columbia MO

What a beautiful park this is! Part of the local Parks & Recreation facilities, the park is many acres of chain link-fenced lawn and woods, with access to a large lake. We’ll certainly be visiting this again before we leave.

Genie, dog park

On her second birthday Genie had her first visit to a dog park. This is the ultimate of dog parks, in my opinion, though it was also my first visit to a dog park. All the dogs we encountered were happy and well socialized with other dogs. The park is beautiful! Genie, who’s very happy never to see a lake, was quite content doing all the running and sniffing she could do.

Van filled with four dogs, one very reluctant (that would be Jig), driving from VA to Missouri. Here we are at a rest stop in West Virginia, day 1. Zip is already tired of riding but is being a trooper. We’ll see how that goes tomorrow. The little yellow dog wants to come with us.

Getting ready to get on the road again. Should we leave the hitchhiker?
