Now we have a blog to share with each other, and the world. Hope you find them interesting. By the way ... does your dog have a blog?Fritohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04818029358493554389noreply@blogger.comBlogger1878125tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19278844.post-17428857583394330572013-02-08T02:47:00.003+01:002013-02-08T02:47:56.038+01:00Mr. Clean-cut (2007)<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Somebody must have just been to the groomers.<br />
<br />
My, what a sleek and silky pup. So soft and beautiful.<br />
<br />
Yes, Frito, you had the "goods".<br />

<br />
Check out that rocky trail. You can tell that water runs down it whenever it rains, and makes for some smooth and slippery exposed stones.<br />
<br />
This was one of Frito's favorite hikes. This is Mt. Kearsarge up near Tucker Pond. It's a quick 30 minute hike to the top, and always a nice little get away.<br />
<br />
And this was way back in 2006, so Frito was just a young pup (6 years old).Steven Crisphttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12133103376050989480noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19278844.post-4537981189855346262013-02-06T04:53:00.000+01:002013-02-06T04:53:10.085+01:00Frito Statue<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<br />
If Ivan Grohar can have this nice large statue in the middle of some Slovenian village, I think Frito should have one too, don't you?<br />
<br />
Maybe we'll have to put that on the retirement to-do list. Carol's an artist. I remember seeing a Hippo clay figure from her high school days. (Notice the clever use of the "royal we".)<br />
<br />
Honey, whatchathink? A little something for the Frito-man?<br />

Another photo with Mom of our RV adventure across the USA.<br />
<br />
I can imagine these lands would have been "bad" in the heat of summer, on foot or horseback, a 100 years or more ago.<br />
<br />
But now they should be called the Cool-Lands, well, 'cause they're really cool. And Frito enjoyed all of the new sights to see.Steven Crisphttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12133103376050989480noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19278844.post-32727414682825729192013-02-04T05:30:00.000+01:002013-02-04T10:31:31.641+01:00Visiting Yellowstone (2008)<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Frito was lucky to get to participate in our one and only (so far) RV road trip. <br />
<br />
Here we are making it into Yellowstone National Park.<br />
<br />
Just don't tell anyone, because the national parks are not real dog-friendly ;-)Steven Crisphttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12133103376050989480noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19278844.post-47703727221465092852013-02-03T05:05:00.000+01:002013-02-03T05:05:00.094+01:00Rested and petted (2008)<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
Frito liked to rest in his bed. But especially so when Mom would get down on the floor and join him.<br />
<br />
In the sun. For a good petting.<br />

Somebody's lookin' pretty happy and content in the sun.<br />
<br />
And such a good show of those prized floppy ear tips. And cute tongue tip.<br />
<br />
I'd say it's a win-win for everybody involved.<br />

After seeing that giant tongue in some earlier pictures, you almost wonder where Frito keeps the excess.<br />
<br />
Here he is just sharing the dainty little tongue tip. Because we're all so lucky. <br />

We were never sure if this was a good idea or not.<br />

Would it hurt his teeth? Would it encourage him to be disobedient?<br />

Frito was quite the athlete.<br />
<br />
He loved to chase tennis balls and frisbees.<br />
<br />
And he was a good retriever, too.<br />
<br />
Though in a situation like this, he also liked to play "I can grab the ball before you can."<br />
<br />
So we usually had two toys going at the same time, so we could focus on the retrieving and excersie, rather than the "keep-away" game. <br />
<br />
And that would work until we tuckered the little guy out.Steven Crisphttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12133103376050989480noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19278844.post-42950605195287125542013-01-24T05:22:00.000+01:002013-01-24T07:26:33.449+01:00Yeeeeeee Haaaaaaaw (2007)<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
Frito looks like he's driving along a road with his head out of the car window yelling "Yeee Haaw".<br />
<br />
But to be honest, he's probably just been caught mid-yawn on the lawn next to our driveway.<br />
<br />

<br />
Ah yes, after a nice dip in the pond, and getting all nice a clean ...<br />
<br />
Then Frito would roll in the grass and dirt to dry himself off as if he were on a towel.<br />
<br />
But he wasn't on a towel ;-)<br />
<br />
So then he had to shake not only water off, but all kinds of dirt and grass drek.<br />
<br />
And we'd probably have to give him a bath later that same day (ha!)<br />
<br />
Check out how steady Frito's nose is in the picture, and how everything perfectly rotates around its axis.<br />
<br />
Very impressive!<br />

Kids these days. Always off dying their hair, just to make a statement.<br />
<br />
Ha, ha -- Frito had them beat. His fur (oops, I mean hair) was very colorful from the get-go.<br />
<br />
All different shades of butterscotch and auburn and coffee and cocoa. <br />

Frito could have worked for the CIA. (In fact, maybe he did, hmmmmm ;-)<br />
<br />
Anyways, you can see how different he looks when he's shaggy and when he's clean cut.<br />
<br />
Which do you like better? What's not to love about the little guy, no matter the "disguise"?<br />
<br />
Personally, I always had an affinity with the clean-cut look. So soft and silky.<br />

And speaking of shaggy.<br />
<br />
Check out the after-bath shakes. Fur is spinning everywhere (and water is in the air ;-)<br />
<br />
You can see Frito was mostly fluff. He was always in pretty good shape.<br />

Someone's looking rather shaggy.<br />
<br />
But Frito doesn't mind (since it kept him warm in the winter).<br />
<br />
And he's got his tennis ball, and is showing off his tongue freckle.<br />
<br />

Frito didn't mind the snow.<br />
<br />
Lord knows Mom had enough sweaters to keep him warm.<br />
<br />
And in this case? Well, it's only a dusting anyways.<br />
<br />
So it must be time to play. Come on, let's go!<br />

Some of you may know our son Greg works at Apple (note the hat) as a Genius.<br />
<br />
Actually he was recently promoted to the Lead Genius (to help guide all the other Apple geniuses).<br />
<br />
So here Greg is trying to get Frito on the Genius Team. I think he wears it well. Don't you?Steven Crisphttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12133103376050989480noreply@blogger.com0
