Tess is four years old. She's a Lab/Foxhound mix.Cassady and I, out for a Fresh Pond walk, met Tess and Ian, out for a Fresh Pond run. They are neighbors from when we lived in Porter Square.

These Samoyeds are named Roxanne and Alex, and are 1 and 9, respectively. They are also cousins. Whether they kiss or not, I don't know.30+ years ago I was at Fresh Pond with Sammy the Samoyed. He started chasing a squirrel, faked it out about what his next move would be... and caught it! Then he brought it over and dropped it at my feet.

Jessica says that Cus, an 8 year old Jack Daniels Terrorist, is named after Cus D'mato. And yeah, he chased the ball into the water, swam out, grabbed it and brought it back for another throw. He even got impatient and barked at Jessica when she was interrupted from throwing the ball by talking to me.

This 13 year old Smooth Collie probably has a bit of arthritis, which might explain his not wanting to stand around and gab.

Perhaps it was the treats for Cassady hidden in my pocket. And, like many of the dogs walking the path today, wanted some. Arrow is a butterscotch Standard Poodle.

Tula is a boxer, 13 years old, and a cancer survivor. See that black band on her left front leg? Radiation treatment for cancer caused that.

In the left-most photo that's Morgan, on the left, and Luna, a Wheaten Terrier, on the right. You will likely recognize Cassady in the three right-most photos. Some people say there is no such thing as too many Cassady pictures. Other people have been overheard to say that you can't have too many Cassady pictures. Others claim that eventually, possibly, at some point in the future, there will

By chance Henry and his pal, Morgan, came by the next day. So now we know that NOT-Henry is named Morgan.

That's because I can't remember his actual name. Henry is his pal, his other non-human companion during walks around Fresh Pond. Henry is half Black Labrador and half Border Collie. NOT-Henry is a Golden Retriever. He is very playful. One of these days his right name will appear here. Maybe I'll remember it while this is being written. Not yet...

And in this case, Elsie, a White Labrador Retriever, was rewarded with a piece of Cassady's daily hot dog (just kidding--not actually made from dogs) treat.

Some people insist they are Bernese Mountain Dogs. However, word on the path is that they can actually be taught to make a mean Bernaise Sauce.

This is what dogs will do when they know specific behavior will result in treat. And they each got one moments after these pictures were taken. That guy on the right looks like he's sleeping with his eyes shut.
