These are from the week before last, but I never posted them because I couldn’t come up with a cohesive “story.”
Maybe they don’t need a story but just stand on their own.
Apollo napping with Mysterium.
Apollo
Mysterium … that’s Sundance’s leg. He was standing near her (Kootenai is to the left), then …
… he laid down, too, for a little pony-nap! See Mysterium behind him? He was dreaming hard, that boy. His ears twitching back and forth – pricked to pinned and back – his cheek rippling as his jaw clenched and unclenched. Several times, I thought he was going to roll right on down on his side, but he never quite did.
Love this …
Later in the day, I found them right by the road, and I couldn’t resist (how can I ever?).
Kootenai and Mysterium with Sundance.
Shedding her baby coat …
Mysterium and mama
On her way …
When I first saw Kootenai do this, I thought I was “catching a moment” … but she does it every time Mysterium nurses. She “hugs” her like this for long moments. Beautiful mama.
Mysterium and stepdaddy Sundance. (Daddy Kreacher and Duke are still together this week.)
Gorgeous.
Into the sunset.
