Here it is the end of May and I’ll woof you that this has been the cloudiest month I’ve ever seen. There wasn’t one day, not one, where there was abundant sunshine all day. And there were only three days … Continue reading →

Well, pull my tail!!!! We had a morning with all sun and no clouds!!!! That’s a first for this dismal month. Of course, the clouds moved in for the afternoon, but for once we had a truly nice day. I … Continue reading →

FINALLY!!!! A day in which we got more sun than clouds. Geez, it’s been a cloudy month. Since we had some sun I figured it was a good time to get some photos of the Rubberweed wildflowers. They’re having a … Continue reading →

Dad and I finally could jog off the sidewalks this morning. We haven’t too many days when we could do that this month. I’ll woof you now that grass and dirt is a lot better for the paws than concrete. … Continue reading →

Yesterday my jog in the morning sure wore me out, but today I had a lot more energy to enjoy the morning sun… while it lasted. We did get more thunderstorms this afternoon. There have been so many that I’m … Continue reading →

You know, it ain’t easy being me. Here I am past the ten year old mark and dad still makes me jog four miles in the morning. Sigh…I need extra treats. Dog oh dog, it’s nice to get some better … Continue reading →

Hey, at least the day started out with some sunshine. I finally got a chance to check out the Penstemon out in the muddy fields. Not looking too bad, but I can’t figure out a way to get a good … Continue reading →

What’s this as I sit on Porter’s Perch?!!! Some sun and blue sky. Let me think now. We haven’t anything but cloudy days since last Sunday. Not that it was a sunny day, but I did get to see my … Continue reading →

Still no break from the rotten weather. It’s rained so much that we have waterfalls all over the place like this one at the Diamond Ridge entrance. Okay, okay, I’m pulling your paw, cuz this is a fake waterfall built … Continue reading →

Whew! George had one hot run on Basset Back Ridge some nine years ago. Look at that tongue hanging out as he got back to the car on Elbow Canyon Road. No chance of me getting too hot today as … Continue reading →

So let me tell you how little sun we’re getting around this place. Okay, okay, you’re probably tired of Porter’s whining about the weather. But how would you like to have your tummy sprayed by the hose after every run?!!!! … Continue reading →

Not even a hint of sun today. I needed something other than gray, gray, gray, so I made up a Pasqueflower book. I’m kinda living in the past today, so I can remember what good weather is like. Dog oh … Continue reading →

Another cloudy day with rain…it won’t stop. I did get up close to a Goatsbeard flower this afternoon. I think it could use some sun (though that’s not going to happen any time soon). Lucky George had some great Globemallow … Continue reading →

Not much to report today other than rain and clouds and rain and clouds. Oh wait, the sun did shine for about a minute. I managed to snap a nice shot as it did. Now look at George’s day in … Continue reading →

We got some sun this morning, so of course, I took advantage of it…like lazing about on Porter’s Perch. And enjoying the the wildflowers. It was a pretty nice sky too as dad and I walked around Tower Road cliffs. … Continue reading →

Kind of a surprise to see a decent amount of sun this morning. I sure took advantage of it by checking out the wildflowers (um, after a Burger King Breakfast). With all the rain that has fallen in Castle Rock, … Continue reading →

Karen had another vet appointment, so dad and I drove her there. While waiting I wandered down to the pond to check for any creatures worth chasing. I did go after a couple of squirrels, but didn’t have any luck. … Continue reading →

George was having a great time enjoying the view (and the wildflowers) of spring 2006. He had his usual exhilarating run on Basset Back Ridge, and then it was time to take it easy and enjoy the world around Edgemont. … Continue reading →

It was 2007 and George was up early to catch the sunrise! It’s 2015 and Porter, well, I was spending much of my day snoozing. It wasn’t a great day for being outside anyway. I did go for a jog, … Continue reading →

There wasn’t much sun again today, so I went out and took some solace in the Indian Paintbrush. You know, I look pretty darn good with Indian Paintbrush! Don’t you think? How about a magnificent day for George eight years … Continue reading →

I got up on Porter’s Perch this morning… and told the snow to go away! It did! Well, except for the last of a snowman that Floyd the St. Bernard had made yesterday. This was the first day this month … Continue reading →

George was up to his shoulders in Goldenpea when he posed for this favorite photo. Dad has always claimed the photo is his second favorite photo of George. I was up to my shoulders in snow this morning. Yuck! Karen … Continue reading →

Yeah, my nose got it right! What is it with this stuff coming down in May? I am not pleased! Karen is pretty darn sore from her operation, so I guess if we have to have some rotten May weather … Continue reading →

George had a pretty darn nice day some six years ago. It was a good day to rest in the wildflowers after a hike near the Cheyenne River. My day was filled with ominous weather. Yeah, my nose could tell … Continue reading →

Karen had her operation today, poor her. Dad and I got her home afterwards. I kept very quiet in the bedroom, so she would have me there, but not bothering her. I hate going to the vet too!!!! What a … Continue reading →

Another rainy day with another rainy jog…blah! Dad and I did get a dry walk in around 10am. Poor Karen’s having to go to the vet tomorrow for an operation. Dog oh dog do I ever sympathize with her nervousness! … Continue reading →

Lots of rain last night and some this morning and then in the afternoon. It’s making the grass really green. Dad had to wear his rain jacket for the jog this morning. Kinda boring for a basset since it’s hard … Continue reading →

Yesterday evening we had some of the that great pot roast from Castle Cafe. I’m looking forward to more of it today! Karen thought it about time that we got a photo of me with my Burger King breakfast, since … Continue reading →

How about this photo? Do I look noble or what? Over at Sota’s place today, I sure loved seeing the wildflowers. There are a few Pasqueflowers left. Mix a Pasqueflower in with the Goldenpea, and you’ve got a pretty special … Continue reading →

Dog oh dog, does dad ever love this one of George on Windsong Rise. George was a darn happy camper that morning eight years ago. My day wasn’t too bad either. I tried out the new outdoor chairs that Karen … Continue reading →
