Java Working on Her Social Skills

I feel as though I should introduce my animal crew. The newest member of the family is Java, a German Shepherd, Golden Retriever mix.
If you think your whole life is going wrong just because so much of it is going wrong, then you’re wrong. Mostly when things go wrong, they’re meant to go wrong, so we can outgrow what we have to outgrow.~Author Unknown Saturday I tried to figure out how to use the hand-held GPS that I…
Java spent her first day in the kennel today. A realtor was coming for a walk through the house, so I figured it was as good a day as any to give a full day a try. Java seemed to be just fine when I got home. But I don’t think she understands that she…
It was a gorgeous weekend — sunny and temps in the mid to upper 30s. The horses were looking longingly out into the pasture so I let them out for a romp and captured it on video. I had a heck of a time figuring out how to block out the video sound and add…
Poor Java. She’s gone from this. To this. She tried to make do with some rollicking splashing. And tried flattening herself to get her whole body in the pool. Wow, man. Bummer. Back to splashing. It was in the 90’s today with about the same reading on humidity scale. Technically known as “can’t breathe” weather….
A couple weeks ago, while I was cleaning Luke’s and Murphy’s stalls, I heard Java barking outside the barn. I dropped my manure fork and ran out the back of the barn where I saw two coyotes.

Oh Mary, these are the sweetest pictures ever. Such good natured animal buddies to have.
What a wonderful series of photos. They’re priceless! I really mean that. You should frame them!
My K has convinced my friends horse to play tug with her. It was crazy to watch, back when K was a pup, how she’d take the tug toy and try to tease the horse with it. Eventually, the horse took the other end and a small game of tug ensued! Now, the two play with a stick together. So wonderful…
This is so cute! I was laughing and crying! Java reminds me so much of my Bailey!! He always has to be right there in the horses legs, face, whatever, the closer the better!
Mary…This post and the last post are great. Snow, yuck! But Java and the horses are so sweet. And the photos taken near the St. Louis River are spectacular. You picked out a great place to get away from it all.
Thanks for your visits.
Mary– Java is the key-ootest! Love the pics from the last post too. Sorry I missed the one before until now. Hope today is a little better.
Very funny. Love the photos and narrative.
That last photo says it all..I believe they are friends! 🙂
It’s been fun watching this crazy relationship develop between Java and mainly Luke because Luke just pays more attention to other living things while Murphy tends to be off in his own world. When the place does sell, I’ll miss being able to catch these daily moment, which I guess is why I try so hard to capture them now.
freakin adorable.
thanks for sharing.
