Dog Birthdays!!!
What better way to return to my writing blog than with a post entirely about dogs???
Jasper turned five (give or take a year) on April 21st. Rosie and I celebrated by taking him on a hike up Mt. Sanitas.

And here’s the Birthday Boy at the top! He was windblown but happy.

Rosie turned three (give or take six months) today, May 2nd. We hiked Dakota Ridge this time.

The dogs have come up with a new game that involves pine cones. Jasper will pick up a pine cone and carry it for a while (he gets a happy spring in his step!), then he’ll drop it and want me to throw it like a ball. Rosie occasionally takes this as an opportunity to steal the cone. Here she is, in all her gleevery – she is a gleeful thief!

Happy Birthday to Rosie and Jasper!
