we had some nice weather on the weekend, and head up to the levee trail.




















then we headed into the dog park for a drink of water.


we hung out for a wail and he met some new dogs and some of his friends. i didn't take any pictures nice there were new dogs need to keep my eye peeled .

i spy with my beady eye?  
-a kitty.




the haze came back, but we went out to run some errands.


stopped at the hardware store for some pots and a coconut palm.






playing at night and some one was mooching some frozen treats.


then layed in the walkway to get some air from the ceiling fan.




then we took a long walk, and checked out the construction by the gas station. they are almost done with the road at last.




then took him on a very short bike ride to get him tired enough to give him a bath .


he was so excited to get out and bike with me.


found him in the kitchen waiting for a frozen treat .


and not long after his bath he found a gopher hole to dig at .

I always love your levee pics, Ronin, they are always so beautiful. Love Leo's coat colors in the different lighting, too. From a glowing red, like a sunset, to the muted tones, he really looks so beautiful. And always HAPPY

And that bandana is REALLY COOL!

thanks, he was so happy we got to up there although he did scare some of the kids were fish with their dads just by walking on the trail hahaha.

out and about in his blue harness until his green one is dry.









checking on the tomatoes.


took him on a levee trail hike.










we did eventually go into the dog park after the dogs playing fetch left and he got to play with a puppy that looked like a cocker spaniel poodle mix named Murphy. he had so much fun but didn't take any pictures.




after the park we took a trip to the pet store and he checked out the toys.


napping by the bamboo.

playing with his big Frisbee. i did see him smelling the air which usually means rain. a few days late we has some light rian and thunder   .


he had so much fun with some new doggie playmates. didn't take any picture of them so i could keep an eye on them.


helping me make his favorite frozen treat   .


making sure i got all the yogurt .

Cute pics. What's in the frozen treat?

its 2 tbs of natural peanut butter, 1 tbsp honey,, 3 bananas and yogurt.

The pic of him laying on the grass reminds me of Kohdi, haha. The pic drinking out of the hose it too cute, great capture

thanks, got lucky on that one. he loves to lay in the grass when we have full shade in the back and the air is nice and cool.

he found a big branch he carried it for a bit   but i was to slow and missed it.


some one is excited to start the morning.


some beautiful clouds with some sun.


taking a brake in the shade.


helping in the garden.

helping collect some seeds from the flowers in the front yard.

A lot of really nice pics, Ronin! I love the "shade" pic with the sun in the trees behind Leo.

The piebald husky, is it full husky? It's body is tall and narrow, reminds me of a Great Dane in a way. Very pretty dog. That fluffy husky is adorable, reminds me a bit of Kohdi.

thanks, i thought he was going to move before i took that pic.
i think he is full husky, is so narrow and thin, he is a bit taller then Leo. the fluffy husky was a good wrestling partner for Leo, his person said that he is lazy, and that the wrestling is the most exercise he had done in a wail, hahaha.

getting a hanging pot for one of the plants.


then we headed to get some water.


then some ice cream   .


we found a nice branch at the park.




our first husky sighting in a long time   .


some one needs a nap.


happy day  


checking out the creep cart .


ah, the weather was so nice and cool at last.


we checked out the Halloween decorations at the store. he was a bit hesitant to get to close    but he did it .


trying to get us to come in from the rain we had with some really nice thunder, but we didn't see any lighting strikes.


shopping for some canary food for our tiny birds.




4 years and 5 months old.

checking out my spider web made from rope.


then we checked out the street fair and the stage were some one was sing they were really good.


walked around and met lots of people who asked to pet leo. and ask if he was a service dog .since he was so well behaved .


we saw some classic cars too.
although some of the police officers at the fair were seared or on high alert by him just walking by. they went form a relaxed stance talking to some one to hand on the hips position as we walked by. even though there were other dogs that barked at him as we passed.


he had so much fun meeting and greeting people and other dogs. talking to them and answering questions.


he heard a lowed noise that sounded like a fire work going off, it scared him. he was walking all over the house for a wail before he calmed down.


then he found a nice german shepherd to wrestle with and the Samoyed's, he was out for the rest of the day .




beautiful sunrise.


we ran some errands he was checking to see if we got him some yogurt and a cookie form the pet store.




helping opening the box    


having playing fetch with mini gater.


followed by catch on the stairs

That is a strange reaction from cops. I would be tempted to report it to a higher up that some of their officers may need dog training. At an event full of people with a dog that is on leash displaying no signs of aggression and being constantly greeted by people in a respectful manner just doesn't make sense to have cops that jumpy. It would make me uncomfortable and worry that they may unnecessarily harm someone else's dog if they are that jumpy in a public setting. Who knows what they would do during a situation to an innocent dog that was just excited barking. I definitely think dealing with dogs is a weak point in officer training. Especially dogs that are larger. I get it. People are scared of Kye, and at 80 pounds he could do some serious damage if he wanted to (my arm knows this all too well) but people can't judge a dog simply by its size.

You are giving Leo a great life. Love all these pics of getting out to the store, events etc.

Great pics Ronin, did you ever find out what the loud noise was? When are you guys going to the pumpkin patch?! You always get the greatest pics there, I've always loved them.

Sunrise pic is awesome!

not sure what it was it could have been the farmer that lives a few block down the street, i have heard that he shoot at foxes out on his field but not sure.

wow, its been a wail since i posted.

the garden is winding down and we clean up some of it and did a quick spider check before letting him in...


he has some evidence left on his face     ,


someone had other plans    left a nice trench   .


we took him out to the dog park it was empty so we checked out the trail.







Leo had a lump on his tail since May our old vet said that the lump was possible scar tissue form his hot spot and to just keep an eye on it. so wail i keep an eye on it, i decided that it was time to look for a new vet it look a long time for me to find a new vet for him. then i took him out for a long walk before out vet appointment.


after the vet we took him to check out some Christmas trees.


he got a tail hair cut  and they did a needle biopsy to see what exactly it was. he said that it was most likely a Sebaceous Cysts. and he would know in a few days.


out walking see if any of the trees leave had started to change yet.




enjoying some mango pure  


checking out the Halloween decorations.


by Wednesday we got the results back from he vet, he said that it was a sack cyst (they are usually caused by clogged pores or ingrown hair) and not cancerous   . but it was best to remove it do the location it was in. so i schedule his surgery for next Wednesday.


we got some of the pumpkin from the store. his surgery is going to be on the 24th of October.

So relieved it's not cancerous, Ronin! It's been too sad of a year on this site already.

That one pic by the levee is awesome! Leo's coat blends right into the landscape!

Sending good vibes that Leo does well with surgery and is back to his old self soon!
