National Dog Day
This past week we saw the observance of National Dog Day. It is every August 26 and also known as International Dog Day and National Dog Appreciation Day.

Maya With A Bone
This is why giving Maya a raw bison bone is more of a torture than a treat. She did this for a few more minutes, finally buried it, and then dug it back up about an hour later to finally enjoy. (Pardon the rookie filmmaking. This is done with a digital SLR.)
Maya Tweaks Her Front Right Leg
It was Tuesday, May 21, 2013 and we were all at the off-leash dog park at Cherry Creek Reservoir.

I Used to Love the 4th of July
Who doesn’t like picnics, barbeques, and blowing stuff up? It’s awesome. And when you look back on all the history of the 4th and what our founding fathers and early settlers were celebrating it is really quite inspirational. The ideals, the troubles, the perseverance and fortitude was nothing but admirable and a damn good thing…
