After three days of visitors to the farm, Shadow was wiped out this morning. Too much "people-ing!"

[Karadeniz]

3. Beautiful! Love the light on his fur!

[George McGovern]

7. Thank You Karadeniz! ("Her" fur, for what it's worth . . .)

[MLAA]

4. What a beautiful girl!

[George McGovern]

8. Thank You MLAA!!

[Silver Gaia]

5. Pretty baby! Boy or girl?

I know that look. Thank you fir sharing.

[George McGovern]

9. Thank You Silver Gala! She's a four-year-old Joy-Pup. You're welcome "fir" the sharing.

She is posted elsewhere in this group.

[Silver Gaia]

29. Sorry about the typo.

Phone keyboards are not the easiest way to type! LOL

She is a beautiful pupper. I have a girl about her size who is a foxy red with white feet, chest and tail tip, and some black markings on her face and tail.

[George McGovern]

38. Your girl sounds like a pretty dog. Do you have any photos of her?

I wasn't making fun of your word "fir," I thought you said it jokingly. My wife hates trying to type on her cell phone, so much so that she has taken to speaking her messages into the phone which then transcribes them into text.

6. I agree with Shadow.

Too much “people-ing” wears me out and quiet time is appreciated.

[George McGovern]

10. Ain't that the truth Polly. We were all glad when visitors were gone. (Including the cat!)

[SheltieLover]

11. Hostess is exhausted.

[George McGovern]

12. She was SheltieLover, but she's recovering. Thank You!

[SheltieLover]

14. Sweet girl!

Yw!

13. We had a Collie/German Shepherd mix from the time I was born,

.

until I was 14. "Lady" was put down at 17 years old - I vaguely remember her dragging her ass around the yard when her back legs gave out.

She was a perfect doggie - never mean, never growled - rarely barked, and always eager to join in with us kids no matter what we were doing.

Fond memories . . .

17. Heartbreaking to have to put a pet down. Stops their suffering, but we have to go on without them.

I'm glad for your fond memories.

[BigmanPigman]

24. People who have near death experiences

say they have seen their deceased pets and they are young and healthy and waiting for us...that helps me a bit.

[George McGovern]

25. Yes, BigmanPigman, I believe that is true. Thank You for these encouraging words.

[Duppers]

15. Beautiful picture! ❤

Poor, tired girl - she must be very social & must've done a lot of greeting.

You hafta be so proud of her.




Btw, how hot is it there now?

[George McGovern]

18. Thank You Duppers.

She is very social. It's like whenever anyone visits us Shadow believes they are here to see her only. She is a good girl.

It's been a bit less hot the last couple of days. Eighties-low nineties. Cooling breezes.

16. Good evening, Shadow. I hope you are able to have a long, peaceful rest after all the

people-ing, Believe me. I understand completely.

[George McGovern]

19. Thanks niyad. She's glad someone understands her. She is recovering.

[LuckyLib]

20. What a stunning photo. The light, the textures, and a beautiful dog.

[George McGovern]

22. Thank You LuckyLib. Took advantage of the morning light. And a sleepy pretty puppy dog.

[karin_sj]

21. What a gorgeous dog

I love her coloring and her beautiful eyes.

[George McGovern]

23. Thank You karin_sj. She's a good girl.

[GB_RN]

26. Reminds Me Of An Instagram Post I Saw

Guy said: "I know this was the goal and all, but damn! It's too f**king people-y out. Do NOT approve!"

Went well with another one: "You know you're an introvert when a pandemic quarantine comes along and your lifestyle doesn't change."

I had to laugh at both, because I could relate!

[George McGovern]

30. Ha Ha Ha -- Me too GB_RN -- My lifestyle did not change. Thank You for the laughs!!

[GB_RN]

35. Absolutely!

Glad you enjoyed it! 😁🖖

[DENVERPOPS]

27. Incredibly

beautiful puppy..................and those loving eyes

[George McGovern]

31. Thank You DENVERPOPS. There are more Shadow photos in past "Pets" postings if you're interested.

[TreasonousBastard]

28. Something about those eyes. Is that wisdom?

[George McGovern]

32. Could well be TreasonousBastard. Here she is with her favorite toy.

[Biophilic]

33. Too funny. I just got done having friends visit for 3 days. I feel a lot like Shadow. nt

[George McGovern]

36. Thank You Biophilic. Shadow and I hope you are recovering nicely.

[Diamond_Dog]

34. Oh, BEAUTIFUL photo portrait, George!

With the light filtering through the curtains on your lovely pupper, she could be on the cover of a magazine! I love the composition here.

I, too, completely understand how she must feel. Too many people around for too long a time makes me weary, too.

Very nice capture!

[George McGovern]

37. Thank You Diamond_Dog!
