Rio, Anekin and Friends

Photo is by guest photographer, my dad, Nicolay Timofeeff. He took this picture a few weeks ago when they were visiting.

We met up with David and Anekin Skywalker. The leashes were constantly getting tangled up as the dogs moved around. Rio always enjoys meeting up with other greyhounds.

Just a few weeks later and the trees in the background are now blooming.

April's Buena Vista Walk

It was a warm, but overcast day on Sunday which made it a perfect day to walk up Buena Vista street. This time Grant joined us. When we do the walk next month we won't be able to see much of the city because the trees will all have leaves. I guess we won't be seeing the view until the end of next fall.

Shedding Season

Rio has been loosing his winter coat for about a month now. Sometimes when we brush him we could make a sweater out of the fur that comes flying off of him. Grant is giving Rio a good brush outside with a soft rubber brush.

My black jeans can look gray at times. It's not too bad, until he brushes up against us just before we have to go out somewhere. Hopefully it will stop soon.

What are you up to?

We just came in from our morning walk after it had begun to rain. This face was looking up at me with his wet nose.

Too cute for words.

Spring Blossoms

The trees have been going gang busters here.

Seen on our walk in West Park.

Happy Camper

We took Rio to Camp Bow Wow on Saturday because we were going to be out of the house all day. Rio loves camp. He tugs the leash to get inside.

While I was taking care of bill paying, etc. Rio's teeth were chattering so hard I thought I was standing next to a woodpecker. He was so excited to be there.

When we picked him up the camp counselor said every time she went near him he stood right by her waiting to be petted. Sounds about right.

He was so tuckered out when we got home. He fell fast asleep after dinner and didn't move until the next morning. Grant tried to wake him up for a late evening turn out but Rio gave him such a "why are you bothering me? let me sleep" look.

Happy, tired camper.

Camp on Saturday

Our new found dog walker/neighbor is not available on Saturday when Grant & I are going to a Bible seminar. Drat. So we are dropping Rio off at Camp Bow Wow to spend the day. He loves Camp Bow Wow.

If anyone wants to keep an eye on him they have a web cam. Let us know how he's doing.
