Play, play, play

I've been trying to do special things to help R and me heal our hearts. So, the other day, we headed over to Dream Valley Ranch for R to play with their new puppy, Huck.
Lots of chasing and playing "keep away" ensued. R would lay claim to a toy and entice Huck into chasing him.
Almost all the photos show the same scene... I love R's eyes peeking over the Monkey toy in the next photo.
Next, it was Mr. Froggie's turn.
It seemed that R had not mastered the art of letting Puppy Huck "win" the game sometimes. When R was a puppy, K would let R think that he'd stolen the toy from her on occasion to keep him interested in playing. I hope that R learns! At least he has learned to wait his turn for a treat...

On a different topic, how many of you get to see this outside your kitchen window (captured by trail camera)? The bear peacefully rested and then walked away, heading for an anthill where my other trail camera photographed him digging for ants.
More about bears tomorrow.

  2. Wow, those toys look like a whole lot of fun! When she has access to them, Elka is far too set on just destroying soft stuffed toys rather than playing with them in most ways.

  3. I'd watch bears out my window any day! Of course, I have a feeling I wouldn't get much else done. I'd be fascinated!

    R reminds me of Morgan! She didn't let Kuster win, either, but now he can hold his own. She's still a brat! lol She teases poor Kuster something terrible when he's in the crate, like now when he's supposed to be resting because of his pano again. Not much resting happens when big sister keeps running past with your favorite toy in her mouth!

  4. R sure looks like he enjoyed his romp with his friend. Those toys were huge! I would also like to watch the bear out my window, but I would also be afraid to venture out like you do very often.

  6. KB- That bear is really interesting looking. Perhaps a cinnamon? Or just a molting yearling? Can you talk about that in your next post?

    I love that YOU can live in peace with the bears so close :)

  8. A day together with the crew at DVR, a real tonic for everyone. R and Huck managed to play,pose, and give us a smile. Hope the day did the same for you and Runner. Cheers, Jean

  9. Sometimes people forget to notice that 4-legged siblings also mourn. We're sure R is as comforted by your company and attention as you are by his. He really has an expressive face.

    We lost one of our kitteh cousins on Friday. He was 19 years old, but we weren't ready to let him go.

  13. What great pictures of the dogs playing. I think its difficult to get good ones when they run.
    The bear looks great. How exciting to see them like that. But I think its better they are not so close to you house....

    Best wishes Molly

  18. What a great play date R had with Huck. Huck is a big furry bundle of fun. I bet that R had such a fun time that he's already asking to go back again. (That is after a long, well deserved nap!)

    Beautiful picture of your bear. Is he the one with the green tag? I can't tell from your picture (as I see spots at the top of his ears.)

    Outside your kitchen window ~ Wow! Only goes to show how amazing life really is...

    Hugs,

  21. Before you send that bear to my kitchen window, just give me time to warn the neighbors, get a new bear proof trash can, and stock up on groceries until bear sleepytime.

    I loved the pix of bear, of R and Huck having fun together. Dogs just know how to do it!

  22. The most exotic thing I've seen in my back yard was the possum on the fence.

    Not in the same category at all. :)

    And hooray for dogs at play!

  23. I let Mommy use my account to comment on this blog during K's illness, but now it is mine again.

    R why are your toys whole and not limbless "furry potatoes"? They even look like they still contain their squeaks!

  24. You are so lucky to be able to see the bear our your kitchen window!!
    Sometimes we so see the deer, and raccoons. The cougar is up behind the barn.
    I think that cutie pie R had a wonderful time playing with his friend! I bet he was one tired pup when he came home!
    Those are some cool toys!

  25. The coolest thing we have seen from our window was a fox outside our fence. Not sure how I would react to a bear:)

    Good fun for R - nothing beats playing with a young one. Those stuffies wouldn't last long with Lightning.

  30. So glad that R had a playmate for a while. My thoughts remain with you at this difficult time. That is an amazing bear picture! You are really privileged to live in such a beautiful place on our planet. Look after yourself too, KB.

  32. What?! A new pup at Dream Valley? Huck looks a lot like Java from the photos. Gotta love those toys and how much fun they're having playing with them.
