Sarah with Indy, Bota, and Zen in summer of 2008, vacationing in Vermont.

The dogs and the ponies enjoy each others company. Sometimes when the horses are bored, they will bang on the fence to attract the dogs' attention.

Belle (on the far left), Mochi (in the upper center), Moxie (in the lower center), and Buttercup (to the right), all just waking up from a winter time nap in front of the woodstove.

Can you find all four shibas in this picture? Indiana (front), Belle (right), Buttercup (left), and Zorro (in the distance)

"Watch Out, World", it's Elle and Belle, and they look like they have a plan (left) and Sarah with Indy and Elle with Belle waiting their turns at a dog show (right).

At the dog show. Buttercup and I, followed by Buttercup's daughter, Rose, and my sister, Elle. This was taken at a show where Buttercup went Best of Breed and Rose won Best of Winners for her first point towards her championship. In this photo, Rose is just barely 6 months old and Elle is 7 years old. I think they're a very promising team!

On our way back from a match show, Mark (driving), Eunice (passenger seat), Moxie (age 3 months, on my lap), Belle (back seat, left) and Buttercup (very out of coat in the back seat, right).
