Howllo Fellow Basset Hound and End of Summer Flower Lovers: I am always ready for summer to end. Fall is my favorite season. Here in KY we have 4 very defined seasons and I just love that. Anyway, I was sitting at my computer yesterday and noticed that my back yard looked really good specifically with the weather we were having. I thought it would be a good afternoon for a photo shoot before the flowers were no longer with us! Also, Emma has just now started going down the back steps without fear on my part. She is doing great 5 months out from her back surgery, as you will see.

Here is Chaps asking, “are you ready to take a lot of pictures of me?”

Beauty Boy poses for Mommy….

Here is a portion of me waiting at the bottom of the steps for Emma. I can reach right up and catch her if she slips. Chaps is being his usual worried self!

Don’t worry Burger Boy, here comes our Emma…

Scoot over Emma, I will show you the way!

Actually, Emma only needed help from Chaps getting up the steps. She kind of got turned around. Here is Chaps running towards me as I was coming down. Just look at the love in his eyes. Grandpa said that was the look of hunger. Very funny….

Then it was time for a sun bath and a double dose of vitamin D!

Mommy laid on the ground to capture this shot!

Then it was time to go in. Emma is so fair, we were afraid she would burn. But I had still not captured my perfect shot of Emma with the late summer flowers!

Emma, Emma, my beautiful flower please come back out for Mommy!

OK – here she comes. And then, it was like she said, “here you go Mommy!”

AHHHHHHHH, THE MONEY SHOT!

Now that is what I’m talking about!

The beauty of late summer flowers!

More flowering beauties later….Love, Cat, Chaps and Emma
