Barre, Vermont

We're just back from a few days in Central Vermont, visiting with an old high school friend.

There's a new small-dog park in Barre. Bobby and Eloise met a little poodle mix and had a wonderful time playing.

The next day, cream tea on the lawn at Perennial Pleasures in East Hardwick:

Miss Eloise got a new harness a few weeks ago. She can get out of this one, too.

July 8th Was Bobby's Birthday

15 years old!

We've been together since he was a tiny puppy. Now his kidneys are gradually failing, his vision is limited and his hearing is selective. We take one day at a time. He spends mornings sleeping or acting confused, later in the day rallies, orients himself, and plays.

(with Eloise).
