we've found ourselves spending alot of time in the wilds of central Illinois of late. jesse's really loving the long walks around the lake, discovering all the new flora & fauna. he's been mistaken for kin by a number of deer. 1 which actually followed us at a safe distance for a number of yards before it realized that the creature at the end of the leash was a dog & not bambi. jesse takes this all in stride, though. curious but not overly excited by the unfamiliar sights, sounds & smells. I have to admit, that the walks are doing me a world of good as well. there's really nothing quite so therapeutic as a long walk w/your dog through peaceful scenery.it's not all the Adventures of Grizzly Jesse, though. as you can see, he's taken quite nicely to the comfort of grandpa's leather sofa. it was a bit of a shock to us all the first time he lumbered up onto the couch. once he settled in, though, there was no going back to his spot on the floor. we all just simply had to adjust our seating arrangements to accommodate him. that's okay, though, as he's more than made up for this by amusing us all w/his crazy greyhound antics. he's really been a much needed distraction & comfort to us all during this very difficult time.

Great blog, photos and articles. Very informative. Thank you for sharing and keep up the great work. Rick
thnx for stopping by Rick.
I still can't get over how much Jesse looks like our Foley (I'm bintie on flickr). And Foley has a plate in her leg also although it's not as impressive as Jesse's! Is he favoring the leg more now that the weather is colder? We know she already has arthritis in that leg and she's only 3 :/
Thanks for the great pics... I'm inspired to take more myself.
I know, the similarities are amazing.
(separated at birth perhaps)
yeah, Jesse has been favoring that leg more now that the cold weather is here. although, not enough to slow him down much.
