happy birthday nacho



today nacho turns 9. 

he is the gentlest dog with the softest fur in the world. 

since we moved to the river in march, his fur has never been completely dry. 
 
i love you clowndog!

day lily day




this is a day lily. 

it is not a tiger lily. 

the bloom of a tiger lily faces downward.

this is a day lily in the color of a tiger.

this day lily is also called a ditch lily.

today is day lily day in the yard. they are blooming like locos. 

(information about tiger lily vs. day lily came from this site.)

RIP doc watson



Let it rain, let it pour, 
Let it rain a whole lot more, 
'Cause I got them deep river blues, 
Let the rain drive right on, 
Let the waves sweep along, 
'Cause I got them deep river blues

RIP grace haley

grace was the black lab bitch of my friends jimmy and betsy in san diego. 

it's because of grace that i even have those wonderful friends from san diego. she lived across the street, and of course was so cute that she was irresistible, and in a crazy tiny world coincidence, we realized she had lived in chapel hill the same time that i had, i remembered seeing her outside jimmy's house in chapel hill, and she had been bred with a dog from holden's very kennel in raleigh.

grace haley

grace was so eager to please. also eager to eat, eager to swim, eager to snore, eager to ride in the car, eager to dive for koozies, really just eager to please.

grace flying

she was the only dog deemed well-behaved enough to be the kitshicker's mascot. she came to all the games and practices, wore a t-shirt, and never chased and popped a ball, unlike nacho and holden.

grace pauly g thumpy

she wore a mini sombrero.

mascot grace

she checked to make sure friends were alive after wine tours. 

grace stefan 

rest in peace sweet doggie!
