Record Setting 85 in Cincinnati Sunday!

Rain yesterday, heat today! Everything is growing at what seems record rates!

Bleeding hearts are forming, hostas popping out, Alex would (as always) rather be in the shade - or the dayllillies!

New behavior - taking the family to bed!

Alex has started to really impress HIS preferences this week... he came in about 9:00 last night and let me know pretty clearly that he was ready to go to bed. He also refused to go by himself, but gave me that great Belgian grin when I said OK, go on up!
:)

It was so successful, he tried again tonight. Perhaps he knows better - since Daylight Saving time is here and I need to get up earlier? So why is he asleep now and I am up, watching the 11 news and posting? I really was tired before!

Alex, Feb 2011

Alex will be 7 years old next month. He is still a healthy looking Terv.

He has been neutered now since November 2009 - but no obvious coat changes. :)

Alex says, Snow is starting to stick, again...

Never found Kit sleeping in Alex's crate before...

Super Bowl means nothing to a tired Terv... Eve visited for a few hours today. He's done.

Can we join 2010 Facebookers?

I have not updated in a while, FaceBook updates seem to have taken over. Maybe this is a good time to link the two? Let's see if we can...

First Day of Summer

 

Alex taking a roll on the hillside

 
 
 
 

Alex home alone...

He looks so calm......... and then he start singing! At least that's what we will call it without a sound track!

Life change for Alex... today is nuetering day

Alex was 5 in March and we have no plans to breed, so....
Today is the day.

Dr Liz at Park Hills will do the procedure today. We have shared the research and all are ready. Well, not sure about Alex. He does not truly understand it. So far, the only thing he humps is his male, neutered cat!

More later.

... Alex and I are home. The vet tech said "he will probably be calm, since he is 5"... as she was telling me to keep him calm for 10 days. Obviously, she did not know Alex! When she brought him out 5 minutes later, he dragged her all the way!
He did pass on actually jumping into the crate in the back of the Tiguan. Easily made the back seat area and laid down like a pro for the ride home.

Alex and Sadie, on the move!

By the time this video starts, they had at least 10 hard minutes of running under their fur! They had not played before, but just took off, in silent agreement that THIS was the PLAN OF THE DAY!

Herding Fun Weekend

 
 
 
 

ovbtc had a Herding Fund-Weekend Oct 17-18. Alex not only got to try his paws at sheep herding again, but got to play with Sadie in the big, 7 acre field. I think they used all of it!
