Hi everyone! Today we are joining Madi and Angel Easy to show their friend Sammy our favorite place in our home town.
Little Black Dog in Big Snow
Whether it’s right after a winter snow storm where we love to plow through the fluffy white stuff and wrestle until we look like abominable snow dogs or…
Little tan dog under big tree
…it’s early spring when the trees and shrubs are just starting to bud out and the grass has started to green up or…
Happy tan dog in shade of big tree
… it’s the heat of the summer where you can cool off in the shade of the Katsura tree during a game of fetch or…
Two dogs playing on a cool fall day
…it’s a wonderfully cool fall day to play fetch and search the yard for hidden treasures (maybe a mouse, mole or vole to dig up) there is no better place than home.
We love our back yard and are sure Sammy would enjoy visiting us here any time of the year.
Even with this celebration for Sammy we are sad to report that today he crossed the rainbow bridge. He was in poor health and that is why Madi and Easy wanted to let him travel the world with this blog hop today. As many of you already know our dear friend Easy didn’t win his battle with bloat and crossed the rainbow bridge a few days ago. We know Easy and Sammy are having a great time meeting up with all their friends that have gone to the bridge before them.
Here is a beautiful fall rainbow from our back yard to share with all our rainbow friends and the Angel sisters that lived here before us.
In addition to the pain from loosing Easy his pawrents have been left with a hefty vet bill that their insurance won’t cover. To help them donations are being accepted through PayPal. You can learn more about how you can help by visiting Murphy & Stanley’s blog. We made sure to get out our mom’s plastic card to send some money to Easy’s family.
It’s been a tough week in Blogville but we hope this tour of our back yard brought a smile to your face.

It’s so sad that they’re both gone. 😦
There’s no place like home. What a beautiful back yard. We know Sammy would have enjoyed looking for a mouse or two with you…
You have the most lovely yard. I know Sammy enjoyed seeing that and is lying in a warm spot in the sun right now.

Wow. What a yard! Cool
With all the recent rain and fog our backyard is a mud hole – luckily Molly Malamute has a friend with a huge well drained yard that invited her to romp and play.
Waiting for sunset on Christmas Eve is like standing toes-over-the-edge on a high diving board.
Every year we’d cruise casually by the window to keep an eye on the sun’s progress until it was officially evening.
Then the shout “Christmas Eve Gift!” would ring out.
You see, the traditions says that the first person to voice that phrase on Christmas Eve to another would be graced with good fortune and joy all the next year.
(And of course, whomever was first won. Everything was a contest…)
It’s more difficult to be first now with caller ID.
As all those who have become my friends in blogland are spread widely across time zones, I’d like to wish you all “Christmas Eve Gift” now.
And as I already feel so fortunate to have such wonderful readers and writers in this neighborhood, I wish to share any phrase acquired good fortune and joy with you in thanks.
No matter where you are or what you are guided by, hope you have a very merry Christmas and a new year full of adventure and joy.
Peace on earth and goodwill towards all creatures great and small.
