Friday's Shadow Tails

Shadow's friend Winnie visits occasionally.This first photo is from last January.

She was here last week and they played.

Shadow's long-time delivery driver friend Jen was here the other day.
She couldn't stay.

They had a very nice visit nonetheless.
____________________________________________________________________
My "alarm clocks" ~ I'm gently awoken by KC and Shadow, at her
"tummy hungry" time, 04:30-ish daily.


________________________________________________________________________
Every day I walk past the bedroom and check in on Shadow.
Often she'll be stretched out on our bed. I'll sit with her, give belly rubs.







Yesterday, I knelt for one last close up.

When I stood back up, Shadow starting barking like crazy.


So I suggested it might be dinner time. She followed
to the dining room. And waited patiently. (Hungrily.)

At last. Purina One with supplement and pork grease. Yum.

Such a sweet, happy pup. It's great to start the day with a smile. Please give her a pat and a hug for me.

I hope you and all your precious animals have a wonderful weekend, George McGovern. Thanks for sharing them with us.
