Bringing in Summer

It's officially summer and it finally stopped raining. Bailey and Deva celebrate the solstice by posing and playing on The Hill.

Deva watches the last of the Longest Day fade away.

It Must Be Spring

They're back! The flickers that raised a family last year in our back yard have returned.

Meanwhile out on The Hill, Bailey and Deva romp and play.

The End(s)

Winkin' Whippets

They look like they're winking as they run full speed through the brush, but it's a hard-wired response to protect their eyes.

Wide open spaces = wide open eyes

Eyes closed as they rest and hang out with The Pod, who at almost 14 years of age prefers walks around the block and lying in her bed.

Naughty or Nice?

The whippets run off some energy.

Deva decides to snack on Bailey's ear....

...and cheek.

"Who, me?"

The whippets store some energy.

Long Weekend Adventures

"Let's Play!"

Oops!

Bailey is unfazed by the wipe out and participates in the traditional whippet pose.

Deva notices something interesting...

...but the hawk is alert and in the air before she gets very close.

Play & Pose

Bailey and Deva tear up The Hill

Up close and personal at full speed

An evening pose

Deva is a convenient pillow

Through The Bush

Bailey is in pursuit of Deva....

...who runs into the bush to slow him down

He waits for an opening...

...and flushes her out

Deva loves her big brother

Lens Test

Deva stood still long enough to help test a new lens

Brown Time

A weekend without snow reveals the brown grass. The Hill should get greener over the next couple of weeks.

The whippets get lots of playtime over the weekend.

The inevitable recharge time at home
