Wesley Moves In

This weekend my sister, Ezra and Wesley came for a visit. They're leaving Wesley with me and Abe for a week while they go on vacation. Paws is not a happy camper, but Wes doesn't seem to really care. It's allll about him.

We hit the Beacon Riverfest and caught The Fleshtones and some very chewy and overly re-fried fried dough.

Then we took Wesley swimming in the Hudson River.

He was NOT pleased when we told him it was time to leave. As a matter of fact he threw a doggy temper tantrum and stood his ground a solid 50 feet behind us as we threatened to leave without him.

That night we feasted.

And then we marked our heights on the door jamb.

We also went for a little hike/scouting for a swimming hole in Fahnestock State Park.

Preeya - I wanted to take this full skeleton home for you, but Abe wouldn't let me!  There was also some reluctance on my part because I felt like we might be disturbing the forest if we removed them.

2010 Beacon Barks Dog Parade

This weekend was the 4th annual Beacon Barks dog parade.  Main Street was shut down for several hours for the parade and so people could wander around with their dogs and check out the vendors set up along the road.   It was insane how many dogs were at the parade...I'm guessing people came from other towns? 

Not-so-coincidentally, this was also the weekend my parents came to visit with Phoebe and Zeke.  They liked being at the parade for a little while and when they got tired we took them "swimming" (P & Z think swimming means sitting in the water wearing their leashes).

Phoebe wondering why people think Zeke is cuter than her.
