More Tucson

More Tucson photos -- no rhyme or reason.

I'm just learning to use the Blogger ap on my iPad and haven't figured out how to insert captions or move photos around to where I want them. The sunset photos were taken on Sentinal Peak and the Harris hawk was part of the free flight show at the Arizona Sonora Desert Museum. Darby's mom, Bryn, and her buddy Dinah are keeping us from missing our girls too much!

St. Paddy's Day in Tucson AZ

Darby's mom

Yesterday morning, Glenn and I left our two dog girls at home in the care of house/dog sitter Emily and drove east over the mountains and through the desert to visit Darby's mom and her family. They are escaping mud season in Maine and invited us to join them in Tucson for a few days! More photos to come!

Uh, oh!

"Hey, Darbs.  You better be careful!  If you keep jumping up there to see the tennis balls, you're gonna knock over that plant."

"Uh, oh!  Now you've done it!  Did The One Who Feeds Us notice, yet?"

Sayings

I was wandering around the internet looking for inspiration for a post and came across this proverbial or folk saying about dogs: "Dogs with short legs bark always."  Well, I have dogs with short legs and can tell you that while they bark, they don't seem to do it a whole lot more than our golden retrievers or mix breed dogs did.

But, maybe in Italy, where at least according to this site, that saying is popular, dogs (or men) with short legs do more barking! 

If you're at all interested in Italy or things Italian, check out the site.  There are pages and pages of interesting information, photos and recipes. 

Here are my dogs and their short legs doing what they love best: playing ball!
