How about now?
Yesterday was the epitome of the perfect autumn day, perfect for a hike up Aldis Hill, behind our house.
Well!
Mr. Jefferies thought he had died and gone to Heaven. Did he ever LOVE this walk, especially when I took the leash off. You could SEE the smile on his face.
I spent years hiking these trails almost every day, and I used to take Vincent up there. I've only taken Jeffies up once or twice, and the conditions were sketchy for a little Yorkie -- snowy once and terribly wet and muddy another time -- both times cold. But yesterday was just perfect for both of us. I wish all days could be like that one.
He looks thrilled. I have to admit that I'm a little wary about letting Victor off leash. He loves the other animals a little too much, and doesn't seem to understand that some animals are bigger or more deadly than he is.

Awesome! Dixie always loved our walks "down back" to the river because she could go leash-less.

It was a glorious day here, too. Jake, Buddy, and I took a long walk, too, although I don't have an area where I can let them off leash. Don't you love this time of year? Glad you are feeling well and enjoying it.

Bet he'll be catching up on his sleep today! What a fun outing for both of you. Enjoy these (fleeting) glorious fall days.

Great picture! What a gorgeous day you both had to enjoy in such a pretty setting. Bet you each had big smiles on your faces.

This makes me happy.

But isn't Mr. Jeffries always smiling?
It's been a great fall (except for that silly snow thing).

Woo Hoo!
I'm so glad he had a good trip up the hill.

Days like that are even more glorious after that nasty snow stuff... We have to enjoy the hell out of them, knowing they won't last.
Glad to see you're feeling better and ready to rumble again!

J.S.Bach pointed out that with any instrument "all one has to do is hit the right notes at the right time and the thing plays itself." The distinction between sound producers and sound reproducers is easily blurred, and has been a conceivable area of musical pursuit at least since John Cage's use of radios in the Forties.
