The Dance

Life is not a journey...

"If we thought of life by analogy with a journey, with a pilgrimage, which had a serious purpose at that end, and the thing was to get to that thing at that end. Success, or whatever it is, or maybe heaven after you’re dead.
But we missed the point the whole way along.
It was a musical thing, and you were supposed to sing or to dance while the music was being played."

Life is a dance...

Beautiful Days of Autumn

 So far this fall we have been blessed with such great weather. Zephyr at almost 15 years of age has appreciated the warmer weather. He is still hanging in there. He enjoys the flatter trails and a little shorter hike as well. Zen and Timber run the hills of the Bruce without him...was hard for me at first to leave him home from these hikes...but such is the way it goes. I was able to put Timber on sheep a couple of times this fall, he did fantastic! It was fun! Love these days with the dogs!

Summer 2016

So the beautiful days of summer are here. I have been so busy with work and a move into a new house that I haven't had much time for the computer. Zephyr is now 14 1/2 and struggling a bit with his health. Gone are the days of hiking the hills of the Bruce. Flatter walks and shorter ones as well. He still enjoys life but sleeps a little more than before. He has lost most off his hearing as well. I have been enjoying lots of quiet walks alone with him, without the other dogs. Other dogS you ask? Yes I welcomed another border collie into our home a few months back. Already a year old but with so much to learn. His name is Timber, and he is a  love. He is another black tri from working lines. I'll leave you with a few recent photos of the gang!

Keep on Truckin'

Wow I haven't posted in over a year....
So much has gone on in the past year. I will update more later but for now a photo of Zephyr who turned 14 back in January. Love this dog so damn much.
