More Pictures of Gracie

Since some of you have been foolish enough to ask, here are some more photos of our new pride and joy, Gracie Perrin.




She's very helpful around the garden. Here she' s helping me plant a new French lilac bush which blooms more than once a year.

She's convinced she's a lap dog, which is fine now but may present a problem when she hits 65 or 70 lbs. Here she is with Terre's mom, Sharon.

She has, of course, taken command of the beds.

And she also has, of course, completely hoodwinked me into giving her whatever she wants.

Today, we managed to go on our first real "walk," over by the golf course. She had to conquer her fear of stairs and take a flight of fifteen or so concrete stairs, which she managed. She chased one of her toys a bit but she has a very short attention span, trying to take everything in at once. It was nice to be able to go for a real walk instead of only for a house or two down the street.

Take care.
