Buster, Kismet, and chaos

I laid off walking for a couple days but got back to it this morning. It was cooler but the rain last night had the humidity maxed out and there wasn't a breath of wind moving so I had to check to temperature to make sure it really was better.

I took Maya and Buster. They are a really great walking pair. Both dogs do their own thing but they share the walking space very well and don't trip me up or pull me. They are both senior dogs now, eight years old, and that's a real golden age. Buster is an absolutely awesome dog. He must have been trained at some point. because he walks on my left in a perfect "heel" position. He really enjoys the walks and looks disappointed if I take someone other than him. Buster is a great dog indoors too. He barks when he wants out, but he's low-key and not demanding. Buster is the first dog who has slept in bed with us in a long time. I hope he'll get adopted, but we certainly don't have any problem with him being around here for a while.

You have to push him into the position you want him, but
after that he's really pretty good.

He and Maya are both about 8 years old.
It's really the perfect age.

There were two stumps here but of course
they didn't cooperate for a group photo.

I had Luna and Bruno out in Daneland today with Kismet and Journey and happened to get
this really nice picture of Luna in motion.

And then there's Kismet. Actually, Kismet is a very sweet dog. She sits really fast for a food dish and she's sweet, friendly, and loves attention. She's just over a year old and she's a Dane, so she has a lot of energy. She's been occupying Daneland, sharing it during the day with Journey and sometimes with Bruno and Luna as well. She really likes the air conditioned shed and she's sleeping in there at night and during the hot afternoons as well. Kismet learned to use the doggie dog almost instantly. I think she's actually a pretty smart dog. She just needs someone to work with her.
