Nice pic of Leo jumping, Ronin! I've said it before but your pics always say just what a good, happy life he has with you, from helping dig holes to running around with his toys to his little "field trips"", haha, you do a really good job of keeping Leo happy and healthy.

Ditto to what Jimmy said! Which rain jacket is that?

thanks, its usually hard when it raining though but i try, he love the garden. the park we have been taking it slow for now.
i'm more cautious when i see dogs we don't know and make him wait and watch the dogs to see how they act before going in.

the rain jacket is a hurtta Torrent we have to get Leo a bigger one once the rain has ended.

our for a walk.


took a pic of him by a mural next to the veterans center.




out enjoying some   and some playtime out in the yard.


we shared some ice cream.


we took him out to the park, but since he was too excited we took a short walk by the levee.






when we were done walking we join in at the small side with his mini aussie friend and some small chihuahuas and chihuahua mixes.
i would have gone to the big side but there were just to many german shepherds playing with toys that it made me  uncomfortable. one of them had to leave do his dogs snapping and jumping to the end of the leash at other dogs after being leashed to leave.




storm drain was half full to the top of water, he just had to look   .


he was still tired from the dog park so we took a brake and he found a nice stick to nibble on.


that face.


at long last some good old    shine


he keeps checking on the progress of the playground, they still got a bit more to go before we can climb on it.

He's so patient waiting for the park to open.

yeah, i think he is more excited then the kids, haha.

I love that levee, Leo takes the most beautiful pics there. I expected the water level to be higher after all this rain! Mural pic is really cool too!

Leo's such a sweetheart - I love all the pictures and all that you do with him.

thanks, the levee was lower then i thought also but we went this weekend since the park was closed do to rain the day before and the water level is rising not sure if it will get as high as last year .

beautiful  


sampling some grass by our wild flowers.


out in the garden, almost ready to start planting.


keeping an eye out for grandma


we went out to the dog park but due to a dog we know that was male dog selective; we hung out  with all the little dogs, he had fun having the little ones chase him around   .


are plants that we tried to grow from seed are not growing yet so we picked out some plants and the garden center.


looking for a few more plants.


i think he is happy that were about to start up the garden but first we have to wait for the rain to be a little less consistent. we don't want the snails to eat them in between the rains.

checking out the bushes


Leo and foxy


they are almost ready to open the park

due to rain on Friday the dog park was close, and we went hiking on the levee.





















that's the longest he has walking in a long time,YAY!  


, keeping his eye on Noibat (his little black bat) toy.

I love the long stroll pictures... one of my favorite things to do with the dogs is just wander and let them explore.

Beautiful pics as always Ronin!

thanks he loves going up there, we don't always make it as far at the train tracks. we did see a sunken boat sticking out of the water. i don't let him loses or even on a long line to wander out here with duck hunter that have sown up a few times in this area and there are lost of people fishing along the river.

checking out the new play ground.




out in the yard


suck his head through the railing.




looking at some toys.




4 years 11 months old

Looks so pretty in the new playground! The "out in the yard" pic looks like he's related to Kohdi and Mishka, lol, did you make him grey or did the camera mess up? He looks awesome, lol, and totally different!

thanks, , it was a one of the camera settings. he loves to climb up the stairs and look for his doggie friends that walk around the park in the mornings   he is such a little stocker   . now that the rains have stopped for now he is enjoying laying out in the grass more. we should be planing some plants in the garden tomorrow he should ready to help dig some holes .

time to get ready for the street fair.  




he managed to find himself a nice stick   wail we took a short brake in the shade.


he enjoyed meeting new pople and new dogs. he made the old ladies very happy, one had just lost her dog a few days a go. and we did lots of Q and A wail we walked.


he hung out with his little friends at the park  










he had so much fun, i think he like small dogs more then big ones.

this weekend he was willing to go into the large side even though ther was a large German Sheppard pup in there very similar in color to the one that attacked him. he did let the dog know he didn't like him smelling near his ear,(i stayed very close) and let the dog smell him. i let Leo go, but the pup was a hovering(that made Leo uncomfortable), the owner was very nice and kept an eye on his dog. i did diced to leave. as we entered into the holding area(i didn't wait long enough for the pups owner to grab his dog) the pup followed Leo i was still holing him Leo i  looked down and he did show his teeth, but did nothing else. i did let him go and the four of us were in there the pups owner held on to his dog. and we left. well more like Leo couldn't wait to be with his little buddies. how can i help Leo feel more comfortable on the big side again?


the a quick stop to get some fish food and check out the fish at the store.


a beaufiul day to do some gardening  

Get set of pictures. Leo has got to be the happiest dog I've ever seen.

thanks, i do my best to make him happy, seeing him happy makes me happy..

we were out playing in the yard when he got distracted by a bamboo case or as call it a paper leaf.


nice sunny day




on the look out at he park.




the wild flowers grow in amazingly.


hanging out in the front yard .


his first bath of the year, and it was so needed.


nice and clean and fluffy.

Wow, Leo never looks dirty or anything but that last pic he is just sparkling! Which shampoo do you use on him, Ronin?

Great pics as always, I think Leo is the happiest Husky, really enjoys his life with you guys

My daughter was just saying we need to take the pups to the dog wash. My wife has forbidden washing them in the shower because of all the hair. And the outside hose is just so COLD!

We have a pet self-wash very close to us. It's not cheap $15 per dog, but since it's something we only do occasionally, I'm ok with it. Plus they have the set-up where the soap comes out of the hose with the water with the flip of a switch.
