I’m grateful to have this little face snuggling up with me on the couch every night.

The prince on his throne.

Shelly and I have both been crazy busy with work the last few weeks, which is unfortunate for Nico because he isn’t getting to on as many adventures.

Nico was more interested in listening to deer in the woods than in getting his photo taken.

Today, we played tug and practiced jumping high to grab the toy.

One of the things that brings me incredible joy is walking in the woods with a dog off-leash.

Nico, Shelly, and I went to the farmer’s market this morning, as is our routine.

Nico wasn’t a big fan of all the rain today.

Nico had a lot to say this evening while we were playing.

Nico is all hunkered down for the evening.

As soon as he eats dinner, he goes into a food coma.

Nico has been enjoying hanging out in his crate lately.

My obsession with tracking the weather radar paid off today.

Nico was pretty happy to hang out at the farmer’s market today.

Airing out his ear.

Nico has an itchy ear from all his recent swimming.

Nico gave me squinty eyes after chasing deer in the yard.

I love how Nico’s fur changes color in the summer.

Shelly was putting her dinner together in the kitchen when I took this photo.

The boat is Nico’s happy place. He gets to swim, hang out, and watch other people and boats.
