Beauties and a Beast

Here's a shot from our short 24-hour stint at the farm this past weekend. Pictured above are the ladies with Bruce, a ten-year-old pureblood black lab whose owner thought Bruce needed more room to roam and some country air to breathe in these, the twilight of his years.

Slow and easy in the morning, crafts and shuffleboard in the afternoons, dinner at four and movie at dusk - Bruce is living the good life, complete with his own doggie-door into the garage and periodic visits from the grandkids to meet his monthly belly-scratching quota.

It's a dog's life (or at least this dog's life).
