A few weeks ago, we were kind enough to dogsit a rambunctious Boston Terrier named Satchel.  Here are some shots from that adventure.  Note:  I woke up several times in the middle of the night with this face staring me down:

I guess I probably should have posted these for Memorial Day but it didn’t occur to me until now that I could have been more timely in getting these up:
