Nico has been full of energy all afternoon and evening.

I can’t explain this pose other than to say Nico is a weirdo.

Living a wonderful life.

Nico politely asking to go outside to chase deer.

This weekend would have been ideal for Nico to swim, but there was a harmful algal bloom at our normal swimming spot on Lower Saranac Lake on Saturday.

Shelly and I were out and about for most of the day, which meant Nico was home alone.

Nico is ready for bed.

All curled up for the evening.

He’s the happiest when he’s smashed into something.

He was hoping for a second dinner.

Nico decided to make him a nest of blankets in his crate this evening.

It’s been a cold, windy day here in the Adirondacks.

After several days of camping, Nico is all tuckered out.

As we packed up camp early to avoid a day of rain followed by a day of cold and high winds, Nico sat by the lake in a moment of reflection.

Stable flies were after Nico all day at our campsite.

Nico waits by the tent door when he’s ready to go to bed.

I caught Nico sitting in the evening sun as he was begging for dinner.

Nico’s all tuckered out from the long weekend.

I hate to say it, but we only have a few weeks of swimming left in the season.

Nico enjoys getting his teeth brushed because he gets to lick the liver-flavored toothpaste.
