After A Walk, originally uploaded by Tokenhippygirl.
Had to post this little number. Karen and I took a walk, with the pups, around the Belmont neighborhood last weekend. It was gorgeous out and gorgeous weather always calls for a walk. The dogs, of course, love it when we go on a walkabout. They were a bit thirsty, as you would expect, by the time we got back to the car. Riley is in the red collar, and Weston is behind her.
Getting a Drink, originally uploaded by Tokenhippygirl.
We went into Sisters one day for a couple of hours while we were over camping. It was a bit warm. Weston, who never drinks out of “other” bowls, drank. It was a first.
This particular shot was taken outside a great gallery in Sisters. We love this place and in fact have purchased stuff there in the past. Sisters is a cool little town, though now it’s a bit touristy. But who cares, it’s fun none the less.

Yep… she does.

A little closer in. She’s really lookin’ at me.

Riley can barely see over the bay window. She kept trying though. So darn cute.
Where’s Riley?, originally uploaded by Tokenhippygirl.
The little girl likes to be up in the addition when Karen is up there. So cute. i took several pictures of her today. I have to post some of them.

Weston going a pretty good clip toward me. I’m sitting on the bricks of the raised bed where I was looking at the addition straight on before I turned toward the little man.
Out For A Walk, originally uploaded by Tokenhippygirl.
The dogs love going for walks. So much to smell, so much to see, people to greet (and bark at depending on which dog you are), loads of stuff to pee on. It’s a grand grand thing going for a walk is.
What Hydrants Are Made For, originally uploaded by Tokenhippygirl.
This is how Weston always throws out his patella. He stretches too far and pop, it’s out. Luckily he’s pretty good about knowing how to get it back into place. We’ve only had to pop it in a couple of times for him. I can’t do it, Karen has to. The vet showed her/us how, but I admit I’m too much of a wimp to do it.
Pulling, originally uploaded by Tokenhippygirl.
Weston loves his walks, as does the little girlie. He tends, as times, not all the time, but at times, to pull. Especially when he sees something up ahead that might work as a place to pee… again.
Hunting Chipmunks, originally uploaded by Tokenhippygirl.
The mighty chipmunk hunters in action. Sticking their heads in the very hole those pesky chipmunks were sticking their heads out of a second ago.

Riley had never been camping before. I think she liked it. Chipmunks to chase, sleeping in a sleeping bag, running around off leash, barking at anyone who walked in her vicinity. She had a blast.
It’s Here Somewhere… I Know It!, originally uploaded by Tokenhippygirl.
Weston loves to chase chipmunks when we go camping. He always corners them under someone’s car. It’s cute. His tale, all curled forward like that, and him down on his front paws is called play stance. He was in it a lot at Davis.
Lovin’ The Street Fair, originally uploaded by Tokenhippygirl.
Riley was, again, a pretty good girl with the crowds yesterday. She got a bit overwhelmed and had to be carried when we wandered around in the dense thick of it, but she didn’t bark very much and she was pretty brave. She’s taking a break in this one, waiting for her mums to finish up their slices of pizza so she can get back at it. Or, perhaps she’s saying… forget it, I’m done… take me to the car. Yeah… that might have been it.
What’s Over There?, originally uploaded by Tokenhippygirl.
This is Weston at Hondo Dog Park looking through the fence over to where the big dog area is. He might have been fancying himself as a big dog, but he’d never make it over there. He loves big dogs, but when he’s with them he spends most of his time laying down being submissive to them. He’s no fool.
Little Girly, originally uploaded by Tokenhippygirl.
She is so darn cute. And so is her milk mustache. Simply… adorable.
Peeking, originally uploaded by Tokenhippygirl.
Weston has been to Hondo a few times. Most of the time he’s sort of been like the little kid who is so shy they stand on the sidelines, waiting to be noticed or picked. We always sort of felt bad for him and tried to encourage him to get out there and play. This time, finally, he did that, even if it was just a little bit. He chased, he sniffed, he ran around with some of the other dogs. He didn’t do it tons, but he did it. Our little boy is growing up. Yeah, OK, he did still spend a lot of time jumping up into people’s laps. He’s like that. It’s how he rolls. He prefers the loves he can get from people more than the friendship he can get from fellow dogs. Ah well… lover, not fighter. We’re OK with that. And… so is he.
Shaking It Off, originally uploaded by Tokenhippygirl.
Took the kids to Hondo Dog Park yesterday after work. Perfect weather for it. It was Riley’s first time there. She did pretty well considering she can tend toward the anti-social. She never bites, or even tries to, but she sometimes likes to give a warning high pitched bark or five. Yesterday though… not bad. She didn’t do bad at all. I think there will be many more trips to Hondo in her future.
Life Behind Bars, originally uploaded by Tokenhippygirl.
Here they are… Kev is right, all they need are tin cups to bang against the bars and the picture would be complete. They do love being able to go outside at will however. They just don’t like it when one of us is on “the outside”.
What’s He Doing Anyway?, originally uploaded by Tokenhippygirl.
Weston watching Benny demolish a stick. The big guy played really well with our little dude and dudette. They were friends all around.
Riles, originally uploaded by Tokenhippygirl.
Riley looks hilarious in this one. I took it yesterday, or maybe the day before, when I was running around the house snapping photos of the dogs. She gets all wiggly when you try to pet her. She’s so excited she just can’t stay still. It’s cute. Makes it hard to pet her, but you have to try… I mean come on, look at that face.
Weston’s Chair, originally uploaded by Tokenhippygirl.
Weston loves to hang out in this chair. I took this one yesterday. You can see he’s got quite the comfy spot. He loves it. It’s cozy, plus he can see outside. Pretty awesome.
Relief, originally uploaded by Tokenhippygirl.
I know this isn’t exactly probably very politically correct, but I had to post a shot of how Weston spends much of his time while on walks. He’s a boy dog… boy dogs like to mark. There’s not a log, or tree, or rock he passes without having to leave his mark… so to speak. Even when he has no mark to leave he tries to leave it. It’s kind of funny. He thinks he’s a stud… and, well… he is.
Riley – Beach Dog, originally uploaded by Tokenhippygirl.
So it’s Wednesday which means I need to get a move on about posting our events, travels, etc. from last weekend. I’m a bit late. Ah well… it’s my blog I suppose so I can post when I get the time. Which happens to be now. So… anywho…. enough mumbling about why I haven’t posted this stuff before now. Let’s get on with it.
This last weekend we went to the beach for our anniversary. It’s sort of become a bit of a tradition (except for last year when our anniversary fell in the middle of the week and we couldn’t really get away). It was Riley’s first trip to the coast, ever, and she loved it. She wasn’t fazed by it at all, even when it rained a ton. Pretty amazing. She’s a cool customer.

This is a photo I took of Weston when he was a little guy. He must have been about six months old. He’s now almost two, next month. I was thinking of Valentine’s Day and was thinking about what the look of love is… and this is it, in this little boys eyes. Happy Valentine’s Day everyone.
