late summer grace: dog play

September 7, 2014 by the life I picked

A picture perfect late summer, early September day. Shadows getting longer. Sun is warm but breeze less so. Leaves are turning. Great Sunday for outdoor chores, garden tending, trash can cleaning, fun stuff, and for the dogs, outside from before breakfast. A bowl of water (change regularly please) plus a kiddie pool to boot, multiple squeaky balls, plenty of rabbit droppings and a roamable acre. Bella vita.

My dogs are Spinoni Italiani, Italian Spinoni, retrievers, gun dogs, bird dogs of long lineage, sweet temperament, human eyes and particular sense of humor.

So tiresome when people go on about their children or their dogs, no? So I will stop here and let the photos speak…for now. Because the grace of dogs, of animals (and people, for that matter) living their essence, is something to talk, and to write, about… dog play, standing in the field dog play, teasing with the ball dog play, wrestling with each other
