Nico and I went to the farmers market this morning to work on his training.

Nico was a bit disappointed that he didn’t get to swim this evening.

Nico was home alone all day, which always motivated me to do something exciting with him in the evening.

Nico was home alone for a bit of the day, and as soon as I got him, he ran out to this sunny spot in the grass and laid down.

It looks like he’s lifting his leg to pee, but in reality, he’s just a weirdo.

The rain brings out a whole new array of smells.

We took advantage of some time between rain showers to walk in the woods.

I’ve been working on teaching Nico to place on objects from a distance.

Nico doesn’t like getting his feet wet on wet grass.

In twenty minutes, Nico will be passed out in this same spot.

I’m unsure why, but seeing Nico lying in the yard makes me very happy.

Nico’s enjoying the stretch of warm, sunny weather.

Nico likes to survey his domain from the top of this rock.

As Shelly and I worked outside today, Nico was snoozing all over the yard.

Nico cooled off this afternoon in Lower Saranac Lake.

Nico gets extra excited when I arrive home past his dinner time.

This is Nico’s regal pose.

I found this face among the ferns.

All of Nico’s friends are gone after the holiday weekend, and he’s one exhausted little pup.

Nico has had an action-packed weekend with visitors and adventures almost every day.
