Zzzen had an AWESOME day and as we readied for the drive home, snow fell lightly on the ground,
and the little guy began to fall asleep immediately.
His eyes were closed as we hit the driveway ... and he was snoring by the time we hit the main road.

"World's Greatest Dog-Sitter",
Debbie Jankonish
& her girl,
"Fallon"

This is Debbie Jankonish ... she IS the World's Greatest Dog-Sitter.
You have read about on my website before ... and as posted
throughout this photo journal event . NOW ... you get to see her :).
Today, I went out to "the barn" to take some photos of her 3 year old
red bitch, Fallon ... and since I took Zzzen along for some more
socialization away from the pack, i took photos of him as well.
He warmed right up to the idea of playing out there this time ... and by
the time we left, he had fallen in love with Debbie ... and had decided
he that playing with Fallon was not a bad thing at all !!! He even
conceded to leaving his toy there for Fallon to keep ... er ... de-stuff :).
I am grateful to Debbie for inviting us out so often, and, of course, I am
thankful that Mrs. Linda Cook, who owns the actual property that all
enjoy so much, is so generous with her lovely space!
While there, I decided I would take a few posed photos, but would
mostly concentrate on taking candid shots - after all, those are the
photos that usually yield the highest reward.
I will work on getting them out to Debbie in the next day or so.
In the meantime, I am posting the ones taken of Zzzen, and Deb &
Zzzen, and Fallon and Zzzen, and so on. The snow drifted in and out
today and it was a great weather day, regardless of the cold.
Zzzen is SUCH a great puppy ... I just LOVE watching him work, be
social, learn, experience and play with other people ~
~ he is so smart, interactive, sensitive ... and soulful.

We returned to a house full of jealous puppies ...
but all had instant fun when they walked out the backyard to their first taste of snowfall.
They LOVED it ... now, I only hope we wake up to INCHES of the lovely white sky-dust.

Zzzen ... at play

Fallon allowed her mom, Debbie, to share her time and attentions with the "space invader", aka: Zzzen

Zzzen finds Fallon ... not so bad after all ~ actually, he Zzzen ended up liking Fallon alot. Fallon was sweet and patient enough to tolerate him ... and thoroughly
enjoyed her game of keep-away with his toy. It was great fun to watch the 4 month old boy try to weasel his way into the 3 years old bitches space...
... fat chance puppy !
