9/25/05 – Fall has certainly hit up here in the northwoods. The leaves on the trees are becoming more vibrant with each passing day. We even had our first partial frost a couple nights ago when the temperatures neared freezing. The weather, however, is not the only indicator we use to guage the seasons. We are down to a small company of crew members around to run the place. With so few of us left, we have found ourselves turning to our canine companions for entertainment. Homer provides near constant amusement with his games of hide-and-go-seek in the fallen pine needles. He was also recently found trying on a sled dog harness, clearly anticipating the coming winter.

Homer attempts a little stealth as he hides in the needles.

Retrievers pulling dog sleds? It could just work.
