Ok, so it isn't summer yet, but I'll take what I can get - and it feels like summer, so I'm not going to bother with technicalities. It's not exactly a secret that this is my favorite time of year, as I open my big mouth about how much I hate cold weather to anyone who will listen, and also some who don't really want to. After being out all morning planting the petunias that have been sitting in their little nursery containers for about a month now, I decided I'd take some pictures of a few of our other family members... and no, these are not all of them - just the ones that were feeling photogenic at the 
moment. Also, I had to get a picture of Max up here - he's been around longer than we've even been married, and we love him like crazy! Long story short - April, 10 years ago, we were hiking around in Nine-Mile canyon and ran into a couple that had been fostering one-year-old Max as a rescue - Stef & I paid his adoption fee and gave him to Todd for his 21st birthday. I don't care how much you love your dog, or how great you think your dog is, or especially how smart you think your dog is - Max is better. Seriously. He understands almost everything you tell him, and if he doesn't he will work until he figures it out. I've never seen a dog so willing to please and so very personable. Even Myrna, who is not a dog fan, loves Max. We all love Max. Max loves Max! (Yes, he does love himself - and he loves Todd too... more than the rest of us, but we don't mind) You get the point. He is getting up there in years, but still acts like a 2 year old - we hope he stays around for a long time... we will be very lonely without him. (And yes, he's tied up - temporarily. He has demolished his kennel for the 100th time, and we are still fixing it)

Here he is again - pulling his 'look how cute I am' pose (in between rolling over, dancing, speaking, and pulling out whatever other moves he can in the hopes I'll let him off his leash)Last for today? This is Horace -he's a pygmy goat, and he's about 2 1/2 now. (There used to be a Jasper, but he died this spring... it was sad) Max wants to eat him - or at least chew on him a 
little. If he looks shrimpy, it's because he is. A two year old could man-handle him quite easily. He's a very nice little guy, and a good weed eater... though, given his size, he doesn't make much of a dent - we actually have 2 goats, but I don't like the other one - therefore, I will not post him! (He's a billy we've had since he was a kid *ha ha!* - we, mistakenly, put off having him neutered... and still haven't done it. He's stinky, cranky, and has a full set of horns that he pushes Horace around with regularly. Happily, he's going to someone else soon, so I won't have to smell him anymore)
