I do not believe I have ever owned a dog as loyal as Buddy. He can be very subtle about it and he can be very obvious about it. It all depends on what the situation warrants. My photo of the day for the day before Thanksgiving is of Buddy as he waits for my signal to continue walking. I have to say, I really enjoy taking him out on walks and trips. He is a pleasurable animal to hang with.

There is not much question that it is fall around here. I don’t mean frost on the pumpkins fall, but pretty chilly in the mornings and evenings. I would prefer if it was a little warmer, but at least it is not flyover state cold. My picture of the day for Tuesday is of Buddy thoroughly enjoying himself on our morning walk. It is good to see that his visit to the vet accomplished our goal. No more itching!

They say we are in an El Nina weather condition which is supposed to mean less rain than normal. I wonder what it would be like if it was an El Nino. I would probably have to just let Buddy go for morning and evening swims. My photo for today is of a rose in full bloom with the remnants of the early morning rain.
