Walked out onto the back deck, and looked down and saw Angus (our 3.5 year old Great Dane) laying down in the grass in the backyard underneath our Texas longhorn sign:

Such a tough life...

If you’re familiar at all with Great Danes, you know that they’re not “outdoor” dogs.  Don’t get me wrong, they love to go outside to run, play, swim, and hunt. But at home they’re usually amongst the most pampered of pups, not well suited to living outdoors.

But the weather is so perfect out here in the Texas Hill Country today that Angus couldn’t help himself and just had to go outside to take a little roll in the grass.

Such a pretty dog...

  1. Pretty pup poses purposefully.
    Photos published pronto.
    Pleased people pause, ponder.

  2. What a beautiful dog! :-)

  3. He is a beautiful example of the breed. I’ve always been fond of the breed. :)

  4. Angus is doing like all us Texans – giving thanks to God for the beautiful blue skies, delightfully warm sun (not that scorching hell of a sun we are accustomed to) and the cool, green grass in October.
