Whatcha Smilin' At?

Rusty looks relaxed and happy in this photo. The bald spot on his front leg was from his IV for his oral surgery last spring.

Warm January Afternoon

It was unseasonably warm this weekend so we took Rusty down to Lady Bird Lake, fka Town Lake, this afternoon and he enjoyed some mid-winter swimming.

Rusty is Seven

According to the paperwork we received when we adopted Rusty from GRR he turns seven this month. Seven years is middle age for a golden of his size and we hope he's with us for a very long time.

I took this photo yesterday afternoon. I bumped up the saturation and sharpness in Photoshop which is something new for me. I guess I'm a bit of a purist when it comes to photos and I will usually just crop a photo a bit.

Our Rusty Boy

Sam and I went to Santa Fe, NM last fall and we brought our golden Rusty with us. While having Rusty with us limited some of the things we were able to do we had a great time being together. This is one of my favorite photos from our trip.
