Winter's Autumn


Cornwall-on-Hudson, NY- September, 2011

Our dog, Winter will turn 77 next month. This is relatively rare for boxers who generally don't live long enough to start collecting social security. His vet tells us most boxers don't make it past eight. Must be clean living on Winter's part. He doesn't drink, smoke or do drugs. Well he is on thyroid medication to help with his thinning coat. It's not a vanity thing on his part, but he will need to keep warm come well.... winter. Still it is easy to see he is well into his golden years. His naps have gotten longer and his walks have gotten shorter. He's got the old man neck thing going on. I tried to capture him on a day when he was looking rather distinguished.

Three days and already sleeping through the night. Chen (Michael) arrived from Shanghai via Tokyo on Tuesday. He joins our family as an exchange student attending Burke Catholic. Today was his first day of high school in America.
