Some of our best friends....they don't say much, don't ask for much and never talk back to you... all they really want is fresh water, food and lots of pets throughout the day!!!

A  rough start to my day, I have to get out of bed and go for my morning walk with my friends.

This is Kona and he is not in the walking mood at all. He would much rather rest.

This is my other friend Howard. I feel real sorry for him,

because he sometimes has to wear clothes.....

These guys are my favorite cousins, Morris and Lewis... I go and visit them every summer. They always take me to the lake and want me to go swimming with them, when I would just like to stay in their backyard on the lounge chair with the sun shining on me. See you guys soon!

This is after a long walk through the park, we get to ride home because it is miles from our house..

A side view of one of the lavender plants, it gives you an idea of how big they are this year.

 

 This is definitely the year for Lavender.It is the best I have seen it in a long time. It must
have been the cooler temperatures and the rain!!

There is nothing like a colourful garden to put a smile on your face....

There is nothing like mountains, fresh air and the most incrediblescenery.... it is the gondola ride in Banff, I would go back tomorrow and do it all again..... it is just so peaceful up there... you are on top of the world and loving it!!
