or at least it seems that way, since our recent visitors included 2 standard poodles. Toby loved the company, but the cats weren’t too sure about them at first. By the end of the visit some peaceful nose sniffing was taking place, and Amber didn’t zap anyone.

Along the river
There’s a state park just a short drive north of us that’s on the Big River. We’ve enjoyed it for years, in fact it was a great outing with our kids at times when we couldn’t afford to take them anywhere else. A short drive and a picnic lunch was always lots of fun. Now [...]

I tried to get a photo of the female rose-breasted grosbeak too, but she was only showing me her back.
The weather was [...]
