Summertime

A post made to avoid house-cleaning...

Summer in Los Angeles can be summed up in one word: Hot. Add appropriate modifiers (really hot; f*ckin' hot; temperatureofthesun-hot). But hey-- it's only 101 today!

I gave the dogs frozen meat-bones and they happily took them and found a shady spot to lay in and nosh. Rondo got some hose time as well. Canine happiness is so easy to achieve-- it's times like this that I wish I was a dog-- more specifically, one of -my- dogs. Simple pleasures.

In the course of clearing* the hillside brush, I came across this pile of feathers . Not sure what they're from, but the former owner most likely was some coyote's dinner. Roz thinks egret. I would agree: too big for dove and too white for seagull.

Also a random picture of Roz's new *WAR* kittens!

Here’s the flicker set with the rest of the dog pics.

*no, not by me: hired some hardy souls to do it properly-- ie, by not having a heart-attack or heat-stroke after ten minutes of work.

love the Siamese-Lynx. Black cats carry the recessive grey with blue eyes gene. I especially love it when they have striping :>

Don't be fooled! They're both demons...I keep having to spritz holy water to keep them at bay when I visit.

I really like the dogs that love the water. It's so fun to see them wanna play. well, until I want to wash my car. :)

That won't be a problem here soon: home car-washing is about to become illegal in L.A. I'll probably get a ticket for hosing my dogs down.
