Java Working on Her Social Skills

My bare feet move across the hardwood floor. I can feel the grit the dog and I dragged in the day before stick to my bare skin. Walking out onto the deck, I grab my socks and boots from the doorway and hop in an awkward dance pattern as I brush off my feet and…
Ya know, lately, I have a lot of people laugh at something I’ve said and after they’re done laughing they’ll say, “Maery, you are so funny!” It’s a little disconcerting when my comment was actually made in all seriousness.But the latest person to say “you’re so funny” to me was the woman cutting my hair…
It was a mindblowingly hot weekend for early June in Minnesota. I don’t do well with heat and humidity – I get migraines — so if this weekend’s weather was any indication of how most of the summer is going to go, I’m in big trouble. But there was some relief. And no, I didn’t…
I woke up this morning with a scratchy throat, cough, and runny nose. Maybe this has been the problem all along, why I’ve been so drained — impending germs. Something that can be cured with vitamin C, hot tea with honey (maybe a little brandy), naps — that would be good. But it was about…
I apologize. I haven’t been Facebooking, Twittering, blogging, reading blogs, and I think I have a glut of two weeks of unopened e-mails. I’ve been in house hunting hell. And when I’m not in house hunting hell, I’m off in nature trying to pull my head back together. First, let me tell you about some…
This is how my window looked this morning. Good grief! Not another problem! Oh, well, what’s a little condensation (yeah, that’s dripping water, not ice). And I’m not going to even mention the broken door knob on the door out to the backyard. On to a more pleasant topic. Java and I started a Dog…

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.
