Matthew and Ms Yuki came for a visit this last Saturday, which is always nice. Yuki is on strict bedrest due to her recent back re-injury, and she’s not too happy about it. Matt brought his bike down and went for a short ride so I took Yuki outside for a few photos. She has [...]

Being young (Yuki turns 3 in July 2010) and playing hard with her girlfriends Koosh and Queenie is just a part of who Ms Yuki is. Watching her play brings a sense of her she is in full view, her love of life shines bright because she is full of life. Combine Yuki’s love of [...]

She’s still very weak, sleeps a lot, has wild doggy dreams (running away from bad guy who hit her!) & tolerates her 4x a day physcial therapy with the patience of a [...]

Dogs are so much like kids, they do the darnedest things! I was working on my computer, Yuki’s bed at my feet. We’d been talking, she’d doze, wake up, doze. It got really quiet one time and I looked down to this! How could I resist taking a picture. Worth a thousand words right? So [...]
