I've been working hard to catch up on the DogBlog. I made it. Everything from 2025 is done. There's nothing posted for 2026 yet, because I haven't done anything blogworthy yet this year. Soon though!

IMPORTANT REMINDER. To really see the photos, click on them to get the full size version. It's best to expand your web browser to full screen so you get the full benefit. The thumbnails that I put in the text of the posts does not do them justice.
