Jaxx is a good boy. He’s spending the summer with us while his Moms are in Michigan. So for the summer while in the city, he has a new city name – Jackson!

The final shot in Benjamin’s amazing photo shoot up on the Sonoma Coast.

He’s a very photogenic pooch. Previous coast photos are here and here.

Special Friday Cousin Edition

Did I mention that Jaxx is visiting for the summer? He and Benjamin are both at the nursery every day. He’s a good boy.

Special early Thursday edition.

While we’re having fun at the party, here’s some friday whippets for you.

The dogs seem relaxed, no?

Dani took this photo at work before she brought Amica and Jaxx over, leaving Jaxx with us for the summer. Then she and V are off to Michigan, as all good music-loving womyn are.

Benjamin thinks his sister Amica is coming to visit, but she’s not! What a dirty trick I played on him, but I love him.

Happy 4th and all to you and all, from us and Benjamin too.

Another shot of Benjamin on the Sonoma Coast.

I was feeling sick yesterday so I forgot to post this adorable picture for you. But here it is, and a day late is better than a dollar short, or so I’ve been told.

Aunt Rachel spends a lot of time in the desert, and sent us this nature shot. It looks to me like a hare.

Benjamin and Jaxx at the beach on a hot day, running wild.

Benjamin likes driving trips.

Benjamin is on vacation visiting his brother Whylie in Alameda.

Here’s an older photo of them from last year or so.

Today’s photo of Benjamin and Jaxx comes courtesy of alotoflife.com and Dani.

Where is Jaxx when you need him anyway?

Benjamin likes to collect his toys by his food dish.

And then he looks at me wondering where those flashes of light are coming from.

We have the tortoises at the nursery today.

Mica laid 3 eggs this week. Now she’s eating high protein dog food to get her figure back.

Jacob, you dog.

From Great Dog Site comes a classic whippet pose.

Nice dog.

Benjamin once was a puppy.
That’s me in the background.

I forgot to whippet-blog yesterday, so Danielle sent us this lovely and lively photo of Amica in repose.
