Summer is sticking to my husband like glue.
She let's me take her outside but the rest of her attention is fixed on her pal.
Cold weather isn't his friend because he struggles to stay warm.
Summer accepts the challenge to be his personal heater.
She is the best mobile body warmer ever.

This is Summer's happiest place.
She tucks herself between her pal's feet and his recliner. He rubs her belly while she plays with her favorite old purple garden glove.
It cracks me up when she wiggles her way under his legs and immediately flips on her back.
She knows how to find some fun attention and a massage on this rainy day.

Distraction time for Summer.
She does love retrieving toys up and down the stairs.
She is a blur.
In the end she hordes all the toys at the top.
I do ask her to return every toy to her basket so we don't leave any tripping hazards.
She brings them down one by one.
This little exercise makes her so happy.

Here I go again posting the mundane happenings of our simple lives. I saw a toot yesterday where a person was bemoaning how boring it is to read about plain old everyday stuff on Mastodon.
No razzle dazzle on this timeline just Summer and I as we scurry down the road for another early morning adventure.
I told Summer how lucky we are to live our not very exciting lives in this beautiful place.
Maybe in the grand scheme of things all that excitement we don't experience goes to critters who are more deserving.
Who knows for sure why we ended up here and everyone else there?
I asked Summer what she thinks.
She says that personally she is happy to accept that she is where she is meant to be.
I said me too.
Good morning, Mastodon.

A few more Summer adventure photos. The sun was so bright and Summer was so excited taking pictures was more of a challenge than usual.
The weather was warm and sunny.
Could be considered a perfect morning.

Summer will be three years old this month.
The thought occurred to me that many of you have been following her since she joined our family.
There have been successes, mishaps and many lessons learned these three years.
So, for all of you who have stuck with us and helped us learn how to be a good home for Summer we thank you and Summer thanks you.

It's time to make some changes in the garden. Some of the veggies are done for the season. I will continue to plant lettuce and spinach until it gets too cold.
Summer knows what we need to get the job done.
I expected her to bring my gloves, because I asked for them, but she surprised me with a partial bag of soil.
She was absolutely right that I needed that bag.
I don't know how she learned to be so helpful, but she seems to remember how we garden from one time to the next.
Her memory might be better than mine at this point.

Uh oh!
Summer sees deer in the neighbor's yard.
She can't do anything but give her fiercest look.
The deer pay attention and will do their best to stay on the other side of the fence.
As soon as they run off to eat another neighbor's garden she was her happy self again and back to playing with her toy cow.
I had no idea Labrador retrievers were so territorial.
