Out and About
July - August, 2011

Our short 2011 BTCA Specialty Trip, The Measure of Life, Waiting and Water, Dog Days of Summer,
(Click on photos for enlargement)


Our 2011 Specialty trip was planned as a spectacular sightseeing vacation including Glacier National Park, Yellowstone (return visit), Bryce Canyon, the Grand Canyon and many other of nature's natural wonders.
Sadly, things don't always work out as planned. Life is like that. A health hiccup and the draconian restrictions of medical insurance (a hazard of retirement) ended our trip four days out!
Disappointing? Yes! But it is far better to cherish what has been and what is than waste a precious moment of life regretting what might have been.
Hug your loved ones, two legged and four, and best wishes and safe travels to all headed to Arizona.


No point in wishful thinking


.....Life is good


It's not the days in our lives....

.... but the life in our days. Nicholas may only have had six months with Philipa but what a wonderful six months they were.
From mannerly meal times to helping us out with the BTCA Specialty Store page, Nicholas was up for anything.

Whiling away time at a dog show


"Wait for me!" Rusty really will follow me anywhere


"Not on your life!, I think I'll wait here!" Gunter not so much


"You'll just have to wait!" Boomer's priority is tadpoles


The Dog Days of Summer


Fifteen year-old Daisy does not believe in taking it easy!


Higgs is another who "goes out in the midday sun"!


That's more like it - Gunter supervises supper.


Baxter enjoys sand and sea on a trip to Nova Scotia!


Lizzie at fifteen, prefers to seek the shade


and comparative youngster Parker also has the right idea
