Hot dog!

Mabel, an old English sheep dog, runs rings around us anytime we stop by our daughter's house. Today we were dropping off a box of freshly picked strawberries, and Mabel was delighted to see us. As always, she, and her brother Cooper, a Portuguese water dog, could barely contain their delight that someone had come to see them. But before we drove away, she had wound down and was flat out on the front porch, taking a break. Mabel is only about eight months old, but she is huge, has paws the size of ping-pong paddles, and is very affectionate. At times overwhelmingly so! I blipped Mabel on the day they brought her home. You can see her puppy picture here if you want to see how she has grown.

It has been a very busy weekend, and I finally just posted yesterday's blip a few minutes ago. Please take a look. It's kind of a two-in-one blip with a main subject as well as a secondary subject...quite by chance.
