Simply Sharrvelous

Mattie still keeps in trash-tumping shape, as shown in this picture.

Stretching out on the sand, enjoying the feel.  Remarkably, we did not bring the whole beach home with us in her fur.

Mattie tries to be small sometimes,, most often when she gets under my desk.  She really put herself into a tiny ball (for her) in this picture.

Soaking up the sunshine and drying while getting super sandy.

Enjoying the day by the beach.

Sand’s hard to get out of Mattie’s fur, but she doesn’t care.  After getting out of the water, she likes to lay down in it and get it all over her.

Mattie was really tired after a long time in the water and just wanted to rest.  This other puppy really wanted to play with her, though.  He was full of energy and running all around her.

Mattie’s always happy in the water, and here she is just enjoying the river.

Just a couple of pictures of Mattie looking cuddly on her bed.

Mattie has taken this elderly husky under her wing.  Whenever she sees her, she stops and treats her gently.  I think it’s sweet that Mattie’s mommy instinct kicks in.
