I am trying out a new photo posting plan. Tentatively, like this --

Mondays-Shadow & KC, Fridays-Horses & Around The Farm.
Please Let Me Know if the former posting practice worked better. And we can talk about it. Or if you'd like to see the posts in a different order. Or, even, if the new arrangement works for you. Thanks! George

Shadow & KC First Monday Together
We begin with Shadow. Jolly Ball in the snow.

Throughout her life Shadow's prized possession has been a Jolly Ball.
Predictably daddy kicks, she fetches.


But just as often, Shadow will drop the blue ball on the ground, as if waiting
for someone to pick it up and toss it.

And soon as a move is made toward that silly ball she snaps it up and dares
her human to come and get it. Such a fun game.

Shadow really likes her doggy bed.



'Tis a very relaxing bed.

Sometimes she naps on the bedroom floor.

And even though I can't tell what she's thinking here, Shadow does appreciate all her fans!

KC ~
This feline fellow sometimes looks pensive.

Or looks goofy in Shadow's dog bed, which KC's pretty much taken over.


What KC really loves is to jump up on Mommy's recliner,

And make himself comfortable, between Mommy's iPhone and the cord to her iPad.

Right away he seeks her right hand.

And of course she has nothing better to do with it.



They have a very good arrangement, which works out well for both.

And at night-time KC reclaims "his" cat bed.

Thanks for visiting!

Any time you want to share them is good with me. It’s always a nice breather when I can just enjoy what others are enjoying.

When KC wants attention he gets it. Who knew attention was so tiring and nap 💤 inspiring. 🥰

Easy, George. Keep sending us photos in any timeframe and sequence. 🫶🏼
