Giant Pining

Guinness here reporting from Crick Hollow. My human took another "MENTAL HEALTH DAY" from work to come up here and chillax. It is an overcast day, so we make a fire!



We boil some water on that fire and make coffee. Everything is peaceful. There are no sounds except what August breeze and robin's wing will say!


CLUNK! zzzzzzz....I fall fast asleep. But my human had too much coffee and can hear her heart beat pounding in her head...


She is working on this mosiac made from broken tile in the tiny camp bathroom.


...And outside by the Giant Pine Tree is a sun from Gram and Gramps.



It is to mark Saige's favorite tree. That is where she always sat and guarded camp.



And all the dirt where she use to dig and play is still all messed up with her footprints.




And nevermind this picture. Groucho stuck it in here for comic relief when I was not looking.



And now my human wants to go for a walk. But look--I do not want to go! I know that inside the camp there is a soft bed, a warm fire...


...and some nice belly rubs......

  8. Mental health days with mom are always great.

    Thanks for the photo of the alien because I was getting kind of choked up seeing Miss Saige again. Enjoy your cabin and belly rubs.

  11. That's a terrific place to Vege out and just do what YOU want to. The mosaic is coming along well!

    Naturally, we're glad Groucho snuck in, too.

  14. SIGH... Guinness that is just a super duper tour of your special place. Love the mosiac your mom is doing in the peeple potty.
    A touch of Groucho never hurts.

  17. Don't you sometimes wish you could just stay there forever......it looks so peaceful.
    We know it is hard without Saige - our humans still miss Harry and that's over two years!
    It is good to mark the tree and remember it as a special place to think of Saige.
    Much love

  18. Guinness, I don't blame you one bit for staying in front of the fire and having a snooze. What a sweet little cottage you have made!

    Cheers and hugs,
