Day 118 - Cancer sucks

Last week our boy Duncan was diagnosed with osteosarcoma, bone cancer, in his left shoulder. Sadly the best treatment for osteo right now is amputation and Duncan is not a good candidate.

So, we'll keep him comfortable for as long as we can, give him extra lovin's and enjoy him for the rest of his days.

Day 117 - Catching some rays

They say that when you live in Oregon, if you don't like the weather, just wait five minutes.

We went from gully washer rains, to rainbows, to blues skies with puffy clouds, to dark rain clouds, to flat gray skies and finally ended the day with this.

Red sky at night... and I'm holding the weatherman to that.

'Tis Twitter Tuesday.

Day 116 - Bugged

Welcome to the dreaded learning curve.

Two pocket wizard plus', a light stand and a reflective umbrella.

Day 115 - Portrait of a greyhound

The weather today was stellar and what better way to spend it than lazing around with a bunch of couch potatoes.

This is Murphy, on June 1 he will be 12 years old. We adopted him 8 years ago and he loves freshly mowed grass more than any other greyhound.
