Emma, along with Lewis and his stick! He is a legend. What a great gift. Safe hiking and a a boring summer to all of you. (BTW, are those porcupine quills all over Emma?)

The Lookout Dogs are legendary, for sure! And Lewis is renowned for his stick fetish.

And nope ... not porcupine quills. Just the seamstress' way of indicating extreme fluffiness. ;-)

Yep ... the best gift ever! A great tribute to my dogs, and of course a long labor of love, which means a lot to me.

And thank you for the good wishes. It's so nice to be back on the mountain!
