Black Dog Sunday

While Shyla was in the hospital or resting this week, I had some extra time with our black dog.

We had a glorious sunset on one of those evenings, and his fur shined in the setting sunlight.

He zoomed toward me when I called him.

And he highstepped through the rocks. This was before our latest snowstorm so it was very dry outside.
I think that I love the way the setting sun highlights his brown eyes more than anything!

It was amusing when I was talking with a nearby friend about helping care for each others' animals when snowstorms close our roads or other disasters happen. She opined that she wasn't sure that R would let her in our house. I had to stifle a laugh because he is the friendliest dog who you can imagine! I tried to explain that he might lick her to death or bark so loudly that her ears would hurt but there were no other dangers.

I love our Black Dog!

  4. I hope that all is well with your girl and "the monster" is staying far, far away!!

    "R" really is a handsome boy!! I know what you mean about spending time with him. I'm feeling those same kinds of things spending times with "my boys" here in Tennessee.

    Take care, and enjoy your Sunday!!

    1. None are up here yet (that I know of!). I've learned over the years that a bear might get chased out of its den early but it will probably hole up someplace else to rest for the remainder of the winter. I'm heading over to your blog! You have me very curious...

  7. He looks so happy (as always). People often feel the same about Phod, and I say the worst that is going to happen is he is going to lean against you and you are going to be covered head to toe in fur!

  11. Lightning is like R, a very big bark, but a teddy bear at heart:) The sheen on R's fur (and Shyla's) is just awesome.

  12. A big bark and wouldn't hurt a fly is a good combination! Atta boy, R.

  15. Crikey R is looking good. He must be getting something extra special to keep his coat that shiny. It always looks amazing.
