Can't You Tell... Summer is Ending

One of my late summer/fall bloomers

 - isn't it pretty?!

With record temperatures here in Colorado it isn't obvious that summer is almost over. But, the nights are coming earlier and getting colder. My only consolation of summer ending is the changing leaves around the neighborhood and in the mountains. It makes it all a bit more bearable - ok - and the winter boot and sweater shopping. :)


Andre and Taylor are loving playing outside in the early evenings - now if we can just keep the neighbor dog from jumping towards our yard. It's been a bit better but unfortunately still an issue.



Chillin' in the shade



I have been checking Taylor's cancer site for bumps. Just every couple weeks to make sure nothing is coming up. So far I haven't seen or felt anything. I have to admit, I hold my breath every time. If his personality is any indicator - all is well - he is still a love bug that loves to play tug-of-war when I get home at night



Fun in the sun! Now let me back inside :)

I have noticed in the recent months that Andre is getting to be more and more like a little old man. It's kinda cute, but he is moving a little slower these days and his sight (in his good eye) seems to be getting a bit worse. We recently had our eye check-up and got a clean bill of health. So we will continue to monitor. These are small things - out little guy is quite the firecracker and still one of the happiest and spunkiest dogs I know.



Days are still busy... Taylor's birthday and Halloween are just around the corner! Still working on those costumes. :)

Now on with the day!
