Just a little demonstration of how much bigger than her playmates Mattie is.
In the dark and on the Rambla. We’re safe with Mattie.
Both Tux and Mattie have made the love seat one of their favorite snooze places.
The puppies all get up close and personal.
Yes, the grass hasn’t turned all brown and yucky, even though it’s midwinter. We haven’t had more than a couple of freezes overnight. Mattie likes smelling the grass, whatever color it is.

Does a Sharr go where you want her to? Of course not.
Mattie and Tux on the same loveseat settling in for a nap.

Mattie’s showing off her latest fashion statements – bandanas. Betsy made several for her and Mattie just loves them. She picks the ones she wants to wear and gets upset when we decide they need washing. When I walk her now, people comment not only on her, but on her bandana.
Sometimes I wonder why they didn’t name these dogs Sharr water dogs instead….
