2 Years Old

My Bean boy turns 2 today. :-)
Happy Birthday Bean!
It doesn't seem possible that he used to look like a small, black potato with Dorito ears, but I have evidence...
The first photo I saw of him, when we thought we'd call him Chilibean
He had hardly any legs!
His first night home which is when we figured out he was a Bean.

That's changed a fair bit. Now he sometimes resembles a deer.
How can legs that skinny climb so much faster than I can??
To celebrate the momentous occasion Bean and I shared breakfast on a mountain. He is the best trail companion anyone could hope for and has exceeded all the hopes I had when I adopted him. He's kept me company, entertained and sane, turned me into a dog-person and reminded me what unconditional love is like.

Sure do love that dawg.

and then some art

Mixed Media - St. Metalhead of the Outdoor Concert

Ducks can't read



These are from Friday literally just a couple of hours before it very suddenly warmed right up, began raining and all the snow departed. Victorian winters! The extreme barometric changes have played hell with my head all weekend and today the migraine monster won. That spiky bastard.

Playing with the blues

I think I'll call it "Get off my lawn!"

No hiking

I broke my toe on Friday. Boo! Boo, I say!
This guy amply illustrates how I felt at being confined to walking Bean in the neighbourhood parks all weekend.
