The Adventurer

...and the homebodies.



A snowy morning separates the wild from the domestic!

Comfort and Joy

From all of us, to all of you.



Be Merry!
Tallulah, Alonso, Ginger Ale and Suzanne

Les chats dans le jardin

In a rare moment of togetherness, Alonso and Tallulah meet on the studio path. It's been so long since we've dropped in and there are so many new faces, we're compelled to make an appearance.

Ginger Ale explores the hydrangeas.



...and emerges from the far corner of the yard.



Alonso is in a rush to go but we'll be back soon so we don't feel like strangers!

News from Nashville

Tallulah has had terrible bladder problems all summer. The infection is gone but not the inflammation. Poor thing. After two rounds of antibiotics, an x-ray, steroids and a switch to doctor food, I came to my senses and am treating her homeopathically, feeding her a special diet of real chicken and vegetables with loads of water. She seems to be feeling much better now so, with luck, the next urine sample will be clear. We'll see the results in a few weeks.



Ginger Ale is still no help with the laundry. He and Alonso have been on the outs all summer. I have no idea what's going on between them but they won't sleep in the same room and Alonso refuses to use the toilet facilities anywhere near Ginger Ale's business.



Alonso is trying to tell me something. Unfortunately, I don't know what it is!

Suzanne has been very, very busy! But thinks of you often and is always glad to see the posts. We all love you all! XO

Alonso checks in

Hello all you people out there. I told Suzanne that she's posted plenty of Tallulah pictures and it's about time for me to make another appearance. I stayed still long enough for her to take this picture. Nice to see you again.

Long Winter Naps

Ginger Ale

Short, cold, rainy days with no signs of sun. What else can you do but take a nap?

The Right Spot

Ah... the right spot! Ooooh... Another good spot!



It always starts out so nicely...



...till we reach the wrong spot!

Alonso and Hydrangeas

I just came across this photo I took of Alonso in Charlottesville, Virginia, in front my favorite picture window in the last house we lived.

Rise and Shine!

Not completely in focus but when would I be able to stage such a shot? Have to go with what I have. A little early morning scene around the house performed by my two lazy boys.

Sleepy Sunday

I walked in the office door to find Alonso sacked out on his back. It's Sunday, he's a cat. Why not?

My fussing with the camera woke him up ...



... but not entirely!

Longing...

...to go outside, ...for my undivided attention, ...for a little romp with his favorite string, ...for me to understand exactly what he's trying to tell me...

Alonso

Alonso Hello

Alonso asks about everyone out here and sends his best to Tommy and Tommy's people.

Tick-tock

I'm so handsome, I can't wait one more day to say Happy New Year! to all you dogs and the people who love you. Good cheer and good wishes to all from me (Alonso), Ginger Ale, Tallulah and Suzanne

(Hey, whatever happened to the AND CATS part of this blog? Where are my feline friends?)

Different agendas

Ginger Ale and Alonso

Under the weather

Alonso and Ginger Ale visited the vet today. Alonso has a problem with his bladder or kidneys and is now on antibiotics which we hope will clear things up soon. Ginger Ale had his annual Rabies vaccination and is not reacting well. With luck, a little time, therapy and rest should bring things back to normal.

Meet Ginger Ale and Alonso

You've met Alonso (showing off on the roof). Here he is with our elder statesman, Ginger Alexander (Ginger Ale!) They've grown used to each other over the years.
