Respite

One of those rough days at work yesterday was made all better by coming home and spending time with my horses and dogs- yes and my husband too! After a quick trip to Idaho for groceries, which didn't even seem like a drop in the bucket in the cavernous trunk of the Caddilac, I  had three pairs of Border Collie eyes staring at me, then at the ball then me, then the ball...... you know that shifty, begging look..... so we played for a while. I have to kick the ball high to get it past Sammi, she's the blocker,

Tess is the retriever, she won't let anyone else catch the ball, then she drops it 10 feet away and lets Reba bring it the rest of the way. Team work!

This morning the big ole moon was sliding behind the ; since my camera doesn't do good moon shots unless there is some natural light I hustled out to see what I could capture. I found Beamer doin' a little moon gazing

before it slid out of sight.

Have a wonderful day folks, we are going to be sunny and beautiful here.

There is nothing like a moon dipping behind the mountains!! Great shots! There is also nothing like horses and dogs to cheer a person up from a not so great day!

Those moon shots are just beautiful! My two dogs, RJ likes to be the one to block and take it away and Jake loves to catch! You also have a great day!

Nothing better than some good puppy sport to lighten one's load. They do sound like there's great teamwork between them.

Sunny and beautiful here too but still very cold.

We have blue skies and lots of sunshine too but it comes at a cost...colder. Nice shots, I tried taking some of the moon last night....no go even with the night setting I cannot get a good moon pic.Oh well I keep trying.How come the bad day at work.

Sounds like we should have got together yesterday and leaned on one another a bit;)

Beautiful moon shots. Here it's gray and cold. We're expecting more snow, then more cold.

Yea, those pups learn to work pretty well together. It makes their playful antics fun to watch.
