Maybeline is a goldendoodle and goldendoodles have curly fur. This does not mix well with wet snow. But Romey knows a trick…whisk the dog off! Genius.

Bad dog. Usually great dog but with a bad habit of destroying NYer magazines (too woke for her? Is she a Republican? Horrors.) and/or books from the book pile. She does it when she is mad at us for leaving her home.
While we were here…
Maybeline was doing this…
What?!

Iulie has grown, and so have her zinias. Last time we checked, they were about two inches tall.
The tree has grown too.
Of course we walked. Twice, in fact.
The dogs were hosed off and toweled “dry.”
Bubbie had some fun things to do.
There were fresh eggs (and lots of them). 18!
And, as always, there was the rope for swinging.
Up high.
Here they come.
Mama!
Maybe always wants in on the action.

It all started in the morning with the birthday puppy Maybeline.
She was excited about becoming a dog. Boot did not care.
There were presents from Romey and espresso in bed.
We left maybe behind for a birthday brunch at the Green Pig Bistro in Arlington. Brunch was delicious. Presents were fantastic. But it was the company we loved the most.
Maybeline had a howl about it.
And then it was time for cake for the other birthday boy. We picked up the cake while in civilization (ordered ahead from the Bakeshop).
The cake is so good. Nobody ever believes us when we tell them.
We were gathered around the bar for Seelbachs and cake.
Moonie wanted to be part of the scene.
But when offered the chance, he demurred.
A Clean Moonshine?

Say it ain’t so. The farm dog gets groomed. And then is rewarded with a visit to the salon.
Meanwhile at the farm, the salon dog goes wild…
