Tommy and the Pullets

It has stopped raining.
Time to give the pullets a taste of the outdoors.

Tommy is fascinated.

He checks them all over.

Once he's sure they are safe, he relaxes a bit.

"See, I'm doing my job!"

They're fine. 

"You can go weed. . . I'll keep an eye on them."

 

Tommy the Water Dog - 4/29/11

Tommy insists on being taken to the stream each day.

This time of year there is quite a bit of water in the stream.

He likes to open his mouth and race through the water.

It is nice if he dries off before returning home.

Well, at least a little bit dry!

He leaps over the bridge at the stream.

And carries D's walking stick.

The house is in the center of the picture.

Tommy and D walk up to the top of the meadow almost every day.

This is their view from the "valley",

which is about a third of the way between the house and the top.

The stream is behind the photographer (D).
