After a really great time roaming around New Zealand in a van for a month, life is getting back to normal here at home. I went to a dog agility even last weekend to learn about how that all works. The dogs had a lot of fun running the courses and it made me laugh …

Missing In Action
Raja summer of 1997 at age 4 months, a field in the middle of Canada. “Don’t just stand there with that shiny thing, let’s go for a walk run.!” Time has flown by, its hard to believe March is here already. The past year saw a lot of changes for us and we are forging …
Merry Christmas & A Happy New Year!
Hard to believe the year is almost over. I haven’t been able to blog as much as I’d like to but I think of everyone often. Wishing you all a very Merry Christmas & a Happy New Year!
A Serious Dog
Not a Golden, but seen while out and about, this serious little guy caught my eye as he gazed intently.
Found Treasures
I found an old roll of film in my camera bag from a little over a year ago. This photo of Kona curled up on our bed, made me remember how much he loved to curl up there on a winter morning. It also made me realize my old camera (Nikkormat FTN) needs a tune …

Holiday Hike
Every week we try to get out for a hike, and Kona was eager to get out this morning. He woke up raring to go…. This week’s destination was Stough Canyon, a beautiful canyon nestled in the Verdugo Mountains. There is no shade on the trail, so we got an early start. Luckily, there was …
Sunday
Nikon D60 : 35mm : shutter 1/30: aperture f /2.8: ISO 1600 I walked around the corner to find Kona crashed out like this on the sofa. It doesn’t really look all that comfortable but he was snoring away contentedly. Who can debate dogs that excel in the art of napping?
The Perfect End To A Busy Day.
Nikon D60 : 35mm : shutter 1/80: aperture f /13: ISO 200 An impromptu hike in the Santa Monica Mountains seemed the perfect way to end a busy day. Sunset was less than spectacular but it was fun to get out and get some fresh air, even if it meant picking burs out of Kona’s …
