On a Stroll
Sometimes Mattie just looks so happy and confident as she explores. Here, one of those times is captured.

Favorite Spot
Mattie’s favorite spot is right by the door. It’s not only because she can monitor whether someone’s coming or going. It’s because the air conditioner blows right on that spot.

Sleepy Bye
Mattie all tucked up for bed. Unfortunately, she doesn’t use her dog bed often. It’s slippery. She loves being covered up, though.

On the Trail

Nosy
I swear, she’ll investigate any smell!

Yet More Interest
Mattie once again sniffing along. She had a traumatic day today. Five strangers came to the house and went inside. I took her on a walk to get over it.

Aren't I Gorgeous?
Mattie, every once in a while, just poses for a picture. This was one of those times.

Something Smells

Still Smells
I’m not sure what she smelled, but she was very, very intent.

Stepping Around
They’d left their soccer ball at the curb. Mattie courteously didn’t punch a hole in it with her teeth.

Shaking
Mattie in the middle of shaking something out of her fur…

Still Wanting Kids

Mattie Investigates
Two pictures today – another of Mattie looking at kids and then one of her showing us a branch she found. She was all over the branch for a good five minutes. I guess she was smelling birds.
