Zelda and I got out for our first short backpacking trip of the season in the Buffalo Peaks Wilderness in Colorado.

 

Somebody doesn’t want to go walking

 

Little brothers are annoying.

 

New pet found while doing yard work

 

My dog did things like that when fireworks were lit off in the area

 

I can't see you so you can't see me my boys have always been under the same impression

 

Well at least one big brother is becoming a little more accommodating, Ziggy not so just yet.

 

With his grandpa

 

Some of my favourite shots from the past week

 

Stunning

 

Nice pictures but for future reference I find refrigerators to be a bad place to store cats

 

Yeah, thanks for that, but when he is naughty he has to go some where to cool down

 

We have been fortunate that our dogs have no issue with loud noises like fireworks. My wife was walking Maeve last week and there has been some construction going on to sidewalks in our area. One of the workers was using a gas powered compactor/tamper, and he waited until our dog was right beside him to fire up the unit with part of it on the curb - made one hell of a noise, but our dog didn't even react. He was watching for the reaction...didn't get one...

 

Good to hear my dog was absolutely horrified of fireworks especially but certain other loud noises would set her off. She would shake very visibly. I talked to the vet once he recommended Prozac. I just couldn’t see the sense of adding that to an animal. Now another vet is recommending Prozac to my cat hairy, perhaps these vets have drug stocks or something.

 

Realised I hadn't seen the wee boy for a while so a couple of whistles without response which to be honest is nothing unusual so started a search and this what I found, so many rules broken

What a wee rascal

 

So adorable and heart warming. I love it when they decide to be friends.

 

@Barking mad we have a jealous cat here. Yours is too cute. This cat goes outside in a thunderstorm. Our formidable boxer would pant, tremble and hide.

 

From this...

to this in 8 months....

and these along the way...

 

Daughters room so seemingly this is allowed
