Pooped out puppy

Well, it's another funny Sox picture, though this time more about what he's NOT doing! Last weekend we went on a long hike around the lake in the local state park. That's 4.5 miles of trails, plus swimming and chasing fellow hikers/small woodland creatures. Sox was a bit tired after all that excitement!

When it was time to go home, we meandered over to the parking lot and I opened the back door to my SUV with the full intention of helping him jump up and in (he's not quite got the hind legs for it... yet?). Instead, he decided the dirt/gravel/mud parking lot was going to be where he stopped. And there he did:

He laid there for a good couple of minutes before I had to lift his wet puppy butt up into the car in earnest. He does love the dog park and *hates* to leave, but this was a new level of stubbornness, laced with exhaustion. Not a good combo! On a positive note, momma got some much needed exercise and her nature fix on for the week. :)

Terrific picture

Hi all! August has been relativly quiet around here...I'm finishing my summer class this week and I'm totally sucked into the olympics. It's fascinating what the Chinese have done to show themselves to the world.

It's been raining a lot and Holliston has been whacked by a number of thunderstorms - there was even hail last weekend. Poor Sox hasn't had much time with his buds at the dog park. Today was a different story - although it was raining at the house, we went up to the park where the sky looked blue. We walked over to the lake and I was able to snap this shot - I'm so pleased with how it came out...on the cameraphone! It may be my new wallpaper on the computer.

Love our little Soxie!

Beautiful Holliston Sky

As we were readying ourselves for the opening ceremonies of the Olympics on 8-8-08 and the sun was setting in the Holliston sky, some amazing cloud formations caught my eye:
