Photo Challenge

Photo Challenge — so fun! The idea is to send me the last dog photo on your phone.

Jennifer sent this of Wildflower Lupine — apparently she is in the Witness Protection Program 😂

Bright Star Xeena north of me in Canada enjoying a walk…

Dianne and her crew, which includes Sparkler Jordan, Terrie, and baby Hunter, are traveling — this is south of Colorado Springs — isn’t this a cool photo?!

Kira sends us the last dog photo she has on her phone — taken before she and Jay were life flighted to Salt Lake City to await Jay’s new heart. This is Bright Star Atlas and his canine bro, Onyx…

Cindy notes her two need some grooming but given that she is managing her household plus Kira/Jay’s family — well, sometimes you just have to let some stuff go so you can be amazing someplace else. Jonasz and Tanzi are happy and upright: Gold Star!

Farm Dog Certified! Toby claims Moonshadow Margie almost took out those hay bales — she looks angelic to me. Also pictured is Moonshadows’ Uncle Clark, who is Daisy’s littermate — and Toby, of course.

Keep the photos coming — fun is fun 🎉

TGIF

An update on Jay, Bright Star Atlas’s human dad. Jay’s recent heart transplant continues to be nothing short of a miracle. He is out of the hospital and per usual transplant protocol, he and Kira are staying in Salt Lake City for the ongoing outpatient care for the next few months. Grandma Cindy and other family have things under control at home (as under control as is possible, I should say). YAY for Jay!

Moonshadows Obi and Scout recently spent some quality brother time together…

Aren’t they handsome?!

Their sister, Margie Moonshadow, has been having fun in the show ring…

Go Margie!

Bright Star Xeena is taking home ribbons for her Scent Detection work…

I love this photo of Xeena…

This is Wildflower Kadi still trying to fit in her puppy tunnel…

Oh, Kadi! Thanks to Eden for the smiles :)

It is so fun to get photos and updates. I challenge you to send me the last picture on your phone of your dog — I know we all have so many. Here is mine — it is Harper B for Bushed after her birthday fun.

Have an amazing weekend — and please send those photos!

Golden

Today is a really big day. A rare day in the life of a Bernese Mountain Dog. A GOLDEN Birthday. Today Harper B for Birthday is 11 on the 11th.

I want to begin by remembering Harper’s siblings and our very special friend, Terri Zimmerman, who owned the father of the H Moon Litter and never forgot a birthday…

The last birthday card Terri sent to Harper

Holden, Lainey, Auggie, Heidi, Zeke, Mesa — and Terri. I wish they were all here with us still.

These older birthdays are bittersweet as we miss those who are gone and celebrate the one who is left.

Harper is healthy and well and enjoyed her birthday.

We went for a walk — just the two of us…

I gave her the present of no birthday bath — she appreciated that! She was not required to share her birthday treat.

I know well how fortunate I am to be celebrating this day with Harper B for Blessed. Golden, indeed.
