Quiet Days

It's unusual for Ryan and I to have much time home alone together.  But life converged in a lovely way.  He had 2 weeks off from class and Katy was back to school for a few days.  Of course, he had class work he'd been putting off to work on, but we did manage to sneak in a few long walks in the woods with Pickles.  But first she got to learn how to be a coffee shop dog....

On one of our walks we came upon a field that's usually empty.  Today?  It was full of very large cows.  And fresh cow poop.  She slipped through the fence beyond our reach and made herself a very happy dog....

Yes.  She smelled as bad as she looks like she does.  And yes.  She was furious at us for giving her a bath.  But while it lasted she was one happy dog....
