Well, we woke up this morning at dawn in the tiny mountain village of Cloudcroft after a lovely Thanksgiving with 23 family members. After driving home nearly 200 miles today (You don't get to stay long when you've got as many pets as we do) and then doing some riding, we're all pretty passed out. Including Red Dawg and Lila Jane, the tenacious heeler puppies who seem to be growing right before my very eyes. I suspect they'll grow an inch during this nap, being in the horrid juvenile phase and all. Although they now seem to have enough of an attention span to work on "sit".

I've never had a red heeler before, and I am loving Red Dawg's freckles. More pop out on her coat each day!
