Nervous Nellies,

My vivacious writing partner has read the stories I’ve written here on the dog fights at the Lodge and reminded me of Rescue Remedy. It’s flowers, people! Okay, a little more than that, but a few drops in their water bowls means that everybody is much more relaxed. How relaxed? Mr. and Mrs. Goon took a nap after an hour or so. Smelly Lola has started to refrain from challenging Mr. Dog to whatever it is she’s challenging him to. Playtime? Fighting? Dominance? Who knows.
Speaking of calming, I had to pull over yesterday and take some shots of the sunrise. There’s a turnout on Highway 74 near a place called Royal Carrizo.
There are thumbnails here, but if you click on them you’ll see a full-sized image in another window. Those files are huge though, so a broadband connection would be a good idea here…

This one may be my favorite, but I’m a sucker for the shrubs in silhouette.

No more fighting, just a little growling now and again. I’ll take that.
Whew!
