Above is the approach to the front door of Faye and Jay's beautiful house in Aptos. Below, Jay and Abner are on a trail through the woods behind their house. What a great setting. Monterey Bay on one side a few hundred feet below, and a forest loop to walk through across the street. What more could a dog ask for?

When we were at Tahoe, we hiked to Angora Lakes. There are several large logs that float around the lake. The kids being towed around on the upper shot were squealing with pleasure, and the two lounging ladies below looked pretty comfortable with their perch as well.
