Long-Dangerous Tails

Jake before his ears shifted heavenward

Guess what this man said to Terri at the moment I took this picture:

Here is a hint from Tiffany’s comment:

then they said we all call that house…”the castle.”

Best Design - those two words and Terri go together like bread and butter. Check out her ingenious design for her yard — dog friendly, people friendly and beautiful.

Jake’s “stick pile” or should I say “branch pile.”

Max has cleaned up the neighborhood! Many a morning we’ve had to walk down the middle of the street because the sidewalk isn’t roomy enough for his prize. It really cracks observers up. Many folks stop their cars to comment. Lately, Jake has been disappointed on our walks because he can’t find any worthy branches to bring home. I believe that Jake thinks that finding and carrying home branches is his job. He takes his vocation very seriously and is very proud of the fine job he does.

To get a sense of scale, this is Max with one of Jake’s sticks

From Terri:

I was walking Jake this morning. I did a sort of Jay walk at Shiawassee and Jenison.Great, here comes a cop. Slams on his brakes. I’m thinking “oh boy, here comes a lecture or a

ticket.”He says, “That’s a handsome shepherd you’ve got there! I’m a K-9 handler so I have a special affinity for GSDs.”

Made my day of course!
