Very Late Friday Post !

A very late Square Dog Friday.

It has been a weird two weeks hope I am done with it.

This is what you do when your dog wakes you up way to early.

You play with the hair on his face.

And just because I can. . .

Merida !

Pretty Kattie.

Earthquake

.

On my Sunday afternoon, Japan's Monday morning

there was an earthquake, 6.1 in Osaka, right where my family lives.

Son was on a parked train and because of the suspension it was shaking very hard.
Yuko and Mia were home, a day off of her school, thank goodness.

Everyone is fine, happy to say.

There are some fires, broken gas and water pipes.

 All the X's are where family lives.

Quiet Wednesday

 Playing toss while I was sitting on the sofa.  iwinston kept jumping up  

He then noticed something outside.  Turns out the pool cleaner looks different

from this higher view. 

So I let him out to stalk and bark at the pool and the fence just in case.

Monday

I want this gud Square Dug,
Love being able to see how darling they look when they run.
This looks just like iwinston when he runs.

Here he is. . . Sir Winston Mandablies Churchill

Love the way he put the toy in the box.

Well it is a start, sort of.

This is my very small freezer. I noticed something different.

Can you see it ?

Seems when you have a Biologist staying with you

 one can find all sorts of fun items in your freezer.

Can you see the small coyote skull. Poor baby, life in the desert.

As always here is your pretty to start the week.

iwinston eating ice !

.

Not sure if I posted this sky from a few weeks ago.

It has been sunny very hot days with few or no clouds.

 Clouds are starting to reappear but these will not bring any rain.

We are having very hot days 100+ with little moisture and no clouds.

That makes for very hot looking sunsets. I have way to many of these hot sunsets photos. 

I have been trying to delete lot of these extras.

 We need RAIN !

cheers,  parsnip

iwinston is taking over the Square Dog tradition of laying in the sun 

from the skylight on the cool tile floor in an air-conditioned home on a hot summer day.
