Glorious Fall weather

Hello everyone and happy Sunday! Today, we welcome a brand new month with more spectacular weather. It doesn't get any better than this. 

I am starting this week's blog by remembering Tre, a lovely Havanese who crossed the rainbow bridge last Thursday. He was a little over 11.5 years old, much too soon to leave his loving human mom Gerda. Tre had the same heart condition as his uncle Cooper. He was a brave boy until the end. I was very sad to hear of his passing as I have followed Tre's journey for the past few months. As Gerda so well said, "it was time to let him lay down his sword to run free with Cali and Kismet". Rest in peace beautiful Tre. Your paw prints will forever be in the hearts of all those who knew and loved you 💙

This past week was good. Cooper and Spicy enjoyed many lovely walks by the lake. We had a meet up with Pauline and Matisse on Monday and saw Mr. Errol almost every day. 

I had my physical on Thursday. All is good and my various tests results were perfect. I spent one hour with my doctor and it was probably the best medical appointment I have ever had. We even exchanged doggie photos! Next up is a bone density and mammogram.

Russell is doing well.  Yesterday, he smoked another batch of cheeses. I've been meaning to give an update on our first experience at smoking cheese four weeks ago. It was a total success. The cheese was delicious and the smoke taste was not overpowering. We ate the last of it last night, in a salad with apples and nuts. Yummy! The new batch will be ready to eat in a few weeks. 

Today is bath day for our pooches. It's been five weeks already. Time sure marches on.

I leave you with various photos taken last week and one of beautiful Tre. Have a good week everyone!

willow tree at Edgewater Park - this moment
captured by Errol.

Errol got some 'bench' time with his buddies
Cooper and Spicy.

Nothing better than doggies helpers when 
changing the bed sheets.

A fresh supply of doggie 'crack' for Spicy
and Cooper - naturally, they had to inspect
the shipment.

Tre lived a very happy life... he will be 
sadly missed.
