We've had lots of outdoor time lately, and I guess Kobie needed a nap. He makes a very cute garden ornament, don't you think??

Aw, that's so cute. And probably infuriating.
What a lovely looking dog. Sara from farmingfriends
Hi Kris,
I just caught up on reading all of your posts.
Boy, your neighbor is really lucky that Mark saw the boat sinking. It does sound like you have great neighbors.
Your fall blooms are sure looking nice. Yesterday it was about 80 degress here. Such strange temps this year!
What a wonderful toy that shredder is. I imagine it is a ton of work, but it sure makes a fine pile of leaves for your mulch!
Oh my, these are so cute pictures. He looks so handsome, I just could cuddle him. Beautiful shots.
Have a wonderfuld day, pdcBritta
Your dog looks very loveley and the
pictures are so cute.
A beautiful combination Autumn Joy
with Purple Dome asters,it is my
favorite for Fall.
Have a nice day Regina
What a silly silly pooch! He does make a darling garden ornament. Cindy at Rosehaven Cottage
He looks so cute!!!!
Hi There, Well we are back from a wonderful week at South Padre Island....Beautiful weather, the water was like 84 degrees, the Sand Castles were wonderful....just plain had a good time.
Nice to get home and see pictures of my ole Buddy Kobe on the Blog. I still think he would really enjoy Texas. Lovely flowers to finish out the season. Also, glad it wasn't your boat!!
Later,
He makes an ADORABLE garden ornament!!!
Cat
Awww... too cute! Kobie accessorizes well--that blue flower in front of him really sets off his black coat. :)
Kris,
Dear sweet Kobie. If Beau were out there, Kobie wouldn't have a chance to sleep!
Oh, he is so very cute. I love these pictures.
Kobie sighting!
But...what else could you possibly be gardening for but to provide a bed for him????
