Kerah at 18 months and Pippa at a year.

 This is Roycroft Kerah's Promise from Laura Lang and Sevenwoods Epiphany from Sue Shidler.

Lotka, sitting beneath my Japanese maple the day before most of the leaves fell off it.

Volterra, wondering if he needs to jump off this stump and go investigate a sound he heard.

Pippa, at a year old.

Kerah, at nearly a year, hoping for the sight of a dove or quail.

Pippa's first look at snow.  She isn't quite sure it's a good idea . . . she's about 2 months old here.

Xan at 18 months.  This is Roycroft Just One Look.

Lotka, lying next to a rhubarb plant.  In the background is a huge Miscanthus 'Silberfeder' surrounded by Platycodon 'Sentimental Blue' and a few taller blue and white Platycodons.

This is Volterra with Quin.  Quin adopted Volterra when he was a mere scrap of a puppy.  Later she adopted Xan, too.  She's always puzzled how to groom long-coated babies.

Obviously, this is Lotka playing with agility equipment.  That's me in the background.  Why is it you always cut the head off of the person in the picture when you're taking pictures of dogs?

The boys, finding out what life in the country is like during their first fall in Missouri.  This is a REALLY STEEP HILL, suitable for exercising puppies if you throw the ball down the hill and let them fetch it back up . . .

Their first country winter wasn't so much fun!  They don't mind dry powdery snow, but wet snow builds up in massive lumps in their coats.  They quickly learned to let me go first and break them a trail.

Here are the boys in the summer, sitting on the steps at my parents' house.  That groundcover is Vinca minor, periwinkle, which blooms with lavender-blue flowers at the same time as crocuses.

This is Lotka, in front of daylilies.  He thinks he just heard a squirrel and is waiting for permission to zip off and find out.

Volterra with a young Chrestomanci.

Xan, at thirteen months, is very aware of her sporting heritage!  She is looking for interesting birds, although a squirrel would be an acceptable alternative.
