Leo Isadore Comes In from the Cold

Our new baby, Leo Isadore (Izzy for short -- named after my grandfather, a sheltie breeder in the '50s and '60s), comes in from his first trip to the back yard.
Nora (on the left) is not amused.

Izzy Meets the Rest of the Pack

Jackson (under chair on right) is leery.

Uninvited

Sophie and Sam wait for us outside a San Antonio sidewalk cafe.

Signs of Wernette's

While driving through Castroville, where my Alsatian ancestors first settled, we found this building with "Wernette / 1907" imprinted on its facade.

Safe Haven

Sophie finds a safe place in our Houston hotel.

Sam's Spa

Sam found some yummy scat to roll in at a rest stop on the way from Midland – Brad gives him a very expensive bath while Sophie commiserates.
