Good News!

I thoroughly enjoyed my days of mountain biking with both halves of the Labraduo! R made me laugh about a million times per ride.

He loves to sing, especially when a camera is pointed at him.

My laughing seems to make him sing even more!

He goes between barks, howls, and sounds that defy description.

I know that he's putting on a show for me because I catch him throwing quick glances my way, as if he's gauging my reaction. Look at that sneaky peek at me.

It's fairly rare that Shyla is this goofy. When it happens, it's usually when it's just her and me, with no one else to observe, including R. So, she remained demure throughout R's concert.

R did have something to sing about. It appears that I have succeeded in getting my photos taken down from the site that was so brazenly stealing them and then earning money whenever someone visited the page. My friend from the Thundering Herd kindly and patiently taught me the steps for dealing with this type of problem. The biggest one was to follow the directions at this site to send a DMCA takedown notice. I honestly hope that none of you ever have to do this - but it seems to be becoming a reality of the web.

I hope that I won't be reporting tomorrow that the site was only temporarily dismantled.

But, for now, I'm optimistic. R is shouting the good news from the aspen groves!

Happy Friday!
