Cosmo, flowers, and fountains

It's been sort of quiet since the puppies left. We are down to just five dogs, which is a pretty light load for around here. Two of them are fosters but they are feeling and acting like part of the household so it almost feels like we are on a break from fostering. Cosmo came to stay for a couple days, however, so we had a new, but not so new face around here. He was new to the fosters, but our guys had met Cosmo when he was a foster here and on one other visit since then. 

Cosmo is very attached to his people and didn't like the idea of being left with me, until he was. Once his family were down the driveway he immediately reverted to being my best friend. He doesn't play with the other dogs (Kilo tried), but he gets along with everyone just fine. It was nice to have him around for a couple of days.

The gardens are looking good. We are nearing the peak of the season.

Cosmo wasn't interested.

Jamie brought some new toys for Paisley. I have to keep Kilo from stealing them like he did the puppies' toys. Paisley is really enjoying them and she's becoming quite affectionate with me, albeit still freaky.
