Hot Day at the Harbor!

WoW! Over 80 degrees at the Harbor today! So fun! We took the pups for a ride in the dinghy down to the end of the channel - (it was extreme low tide- lots of mud for them to run in!)
Montana's first dinghy ride, she was a pro! Stood up on the side, jumped in and out,swam all over with doter! So here are a few pics and, hopefully a little video of our day!

Empty Nest at last!

Well it's finally happening! Lacey is leaving us for the not-so-new frontiers of Sacramento!Unfortunately, she is also absconding with our adorable dogter, Dakota. Though it will be quieter around here (without Dakota) and less messy (without Lacey) we will miss them most desperately!

Fortunately, we do have our new little sweetheart, Montana, a true love of a pup we found at a shelter in LA. We got her as a new companion for our Cussie boy, but we like her way more than he does!

This next year is going to be bittersweet for me, as it will probably be our last year here in Thousand Oaks. With Brandi & Anthony and Lacey all in Sac, (and a little one too!) I'm going to have to drag Ric (kicking and screaming no doubt), up north!
