Better to burn out than to fade away...

Summer has arrived all at once here. Every wildflower seems to be blooming now, even the ones that normally don't bloom until August. I think that the heat and drought is causing all the animals and plants to move their schedules earlier.
After romping in very cool weather yesterday, K was a little "off" today. Perhaps it was the return of the heat. We're in contact with her oncologist who wants to take a wait and see approach. I was happy to see that K wanted to run around during our morning hike.
It also didn't stop her from glowing in the morning sun.
I might not have time to post over the next few days. Please don't worry if we are quiet. I promise to post if anything changes with our amazing girl.

"Better to burn out than to fade away..." Neil Young. K lives by that motto so we'll keep having fun.

My sweet Indy will be a beach puppy with us while we vacation. I love taking him with us on trips! He brings me so much comfort and peace in my heart as does the sound and sight of the ocean.

  23. Not sure I've heard the Young version, but the Def Leppard words perhaps taken from the older song are humming your way from me...

  24. That first photo is wonderful in its color and closeupedness (I do enjoy making up words, comes in handy as you get older). On a more serious note, I can somehow feel your fatigue. If I'm wrong, good. If I'm not, take care of yourself and K. We will still be here.

  28. I really like that motto. I have been following several blogs recently including yours. Bert from four legged views encouraged me to start one myself.

    I hope you will come visit us some time.
