Christmas Time Is Here

When Jakey was watching for Santa and reindeer during a past Christmas season 🎄🐾🐾❤️

I’m Back!

My blog has gone way too long without new photos and updates. I think I’m back in now! Too many past blogs, too many email addresses that went from comcast to verizon to frontier and onward with a move from one town to another. That left me a time traveler in space without leaving earth. 🤣

Summertime!

I enjoy days like this one.

June 2020

Congratulations Class of 2020, especially Anneka, Skyler and Jaycee! Three grads in one family makes us all so proud of you. Two college graduates, one high school graduate and each did well in a most challenging time.

Autumn Rays

Portland Japanese Garden is so lovely in fall. October is my favorite month for color.

Dark Star’s Jacob The Keeper, November 13, 2005 — June 25, 2019

In my heart forever, sweet Jakey, you’ve left us with the happiest memories we could’ve ever wished for when you first came into our lives, just a little puppy with so much love to give. Yes, you were certainly special.

Decorating for Easter 2019

It has been way too long since updating my blog. Let’s welcome Spring 2019! We are having a week of rain to keep Oregon green. While we wait for some new photos of everything blooming we can enjoy decorating that has taken place indoors.

Jakey got groomed Saturday and is doing well. He’s asleep next to me as I write this.

Jakey Celebrates!

We celebrated Jake’s 13th birthday on November 13. He’s well, happy and back to acting like a puppy. I’m hoping when Charlie comes so we can celebrate her 8th birthday our SpringRidge Christmas tree will be up, decorated and ready for her birthday picture and also one with Charlie holding Jake in front of the tree. Just might make another winner of a Christmas card if I get that accomplished.

Sandra decorated around Jakey photo to make it festive for his birthday!

It’s time!

It’s past time for new photos of Jake-the-Pup, the fun loving Cavalier King Charles Spaniel that is always the hit of any party at home or out on walks. He’s had a rough week, spending Monday at the Veterinary Clinic for tests and IVs. Jakey will tell you pancreatitis is no fun! We hope to be out and about soon. Meanwhile, Jake’s fan club can please keep him in your thoughts.

Favorite Birch

We’ve had such beautiful Spring weather, yet it was all too recently a heavy storm toppled my favorite birch tree. I’d passed by it only the day before thinking it’s time for fresh photos of bark, of moss. Then before I could do that “my tree” was toppled over. Here it stands once upon a time.
