My Sweet Pumpkin

My big baby is hanging in there, toughing it out with a continued sweet disposition. Her 12th birthday is on Halloween, and I think she may make it. How I love her.

June Pumpkin

Big baby Pumpkin, aka putty nosed Pumpkin, spends more time resting these days, but will still romp and play, if only for a bit. Judy and I totally adore her.

Sweet Sleepy Pumpkin

I cherish this dog, and as I watch her age I worry about her and love her all the harder. I also have the sense she is doing the same, in touch with fleeting time. My big baby.

Early Spring Pumpkin

My good friend Katherine at Photobooth Journal told me it was time for another Pumpkin portrait, so here we go. Pumpkin is 11, in good health,  and loved deeply.

Pumpkin likes to spend chilly days sleeping under a warm skylight. Smart girl.

Pumpkin’s Birthday Portrait

My sweet girl will be eleven on Halloween, and I love her madly. Isn’t she a beauty.

Mountain Range

We are enjoying a great vacation in the San Juan mountain range above Pagosa Springs, Colorado. We are in a comfortable motorhome in clean, cool air. Truly fabulous.
