Dogs in the Yard, 5/13/21
Posted on May 13, 2021 Posted by John Scalzi 15 Comments
I’ve mentioned elsewhere that my yard has become the de facto dog park for the neighborhood. Here is evidence of that: Buckley (black labradoodle), Gus (golden labradoodle) and Charlie (doofus sprinter) all hanging out in the lawn. And a fine day for it. We don’t mind that they hang out here. They’re pretty cool. And they tire Charlie out, which is a nice. Anyway: Here’s today, from my front porch.

Tired out is good. We take our 5 month old pup to day care twice a week, and today he was in there with 20 or more dogs, from wee little guys all the way up to a couple of Great Danes. He comes home and lies down and doesn’t get up until dinner.
Wonderful!
Not even a traffic light at that intersection. Now that’s rural.
Intersection? The things perpendicular to the road are driveways.
Life could certainly be worse. Looks lovely.
I’m assuming you’re the official pooper scooper.
The feeling of peace these dog photos convey is divine. Thank you for sharing your utopia with us. How’s Athena by the way?
I’m not surprised the cool kids hand out at your house.
Um, I meant hang, not hand.
But maybe they get handouts too.
it’s the paws that refreshes
Y’know… I’m sure you know that you live an idyllic life. (Despite your broadband problems. 😉 )
That is awesome. I remember the days of neighborhood dogs. Every single one had a home to go to (and I knew where they all were) but were welcome all over the neighborhood.
That’s gorgeous! I’d enjoy that view any day, dogs and all!
I thought you have outdoor cats.
Did a swat across a K9s nose improve the dogs behaviors?
Are you considering a dog wadding pool?
Who let the dogs out?
