Nestle’s Journal

April 5, 2025

Liking the squeaky dog bone toy

Using the wind to sniff out the best patch of grass to mow

Attracted to the water I was spraying

“Just one drop, please!”

Off to check out the wildlife camera’s latest shots

Up and over our favorite mossy log

Smelling the wood shavings I put down over a muddy patch

Pond side sniffing

Being a little too direct for Nutmeg’s comfort …

“Don’t go!”

Think this is the only time I’ve captured Cowboy in the vicinity of Nestle

The silence before the storm….

*Really* likes squeaky rainbow

“Just one day at Bubba’s?! Harumph!”

March 30, 2025

Sneaking up …

“Boo!”

Walking Nestle around using the squeaky snake

Reeling in Nestle

Gimme gimme!

Got a walk in up the street…

Getting her greens!

Smelling the daffodils…

March 29, 2025

Nestle waiting for James to wake up

It’s almost as if Nestle can see the bagel!

Mowing the grass while I go over yard work with a high schooler

“Don’t forget me!”

“Pizza bones? Sounds good!”

A walk up the street…

…with a few Aussie buddies of friends of ours…

Nap buddies

Tug of war over squeaky snake!

Everyone’s bored by my laundry chores

“…whuuut?..”

“…whuut’s that squeaking noise?”

Happy to be back!

Meeting her mini-me

Nestlé not sharing scratches from my Dad…

Bubba isn’t getting any love

Getting a walk in while there’s still light out

Will follow Bubba anywhere … especially when he’s noisily chewing on a ball

Getting muddy together

Finally time to rest

After dinner lounging

Quarantined while the housecleaners were coming in

Leading the way!

Looooong sniff here

Something in the air…

Getting her veggies

Patiently waiting while I fill the bird feeder…

A brief stay in Jeff’s office while cleaners were here and I couldn’t stay with her

Good day

December 17, 2024

Hoping for a 2nd breakfast….

Mid morning nap…

Photobombing a photo of Bruno; such a diva!

Sniffing the cats behind basement doorway on left…

‘I’ll try anything!’

Sounds like food….

Loves to growl and grab the drying shimmy and shake it to death…so fierce!

After dinner nap…

December 16, 2024

Soon after this pic was taken, Nestle squeezed in under the table and poked her head up under the table, lol

The boys wish they needed eye drops

French fry friends

I may have dropped a fry…

Mowing the grass by moonlight

Post breakfast naps

Bubba hoping to get eye drop treats

“I smell peanut butter!”

Muddy muddy paws!

“What’s that smell!?”

“Wait for me Bubba!…”

“Slow down Bubba!…”

United!

Wet pooches, ready to be towel dried!

The splay…

The log…

Remote view of Nestle from Astro while we were at a movie

Hide-and-seek!

Found Nutmeg :)

Ready for bed!

Snoring in the comfiest dog bed

November 19, 2024

Always ready to lend a helping paw…

Getting out before the cyclone bomb!

Nestle leading the way

“Wait for me!”

Always ready to help out if Nutmeg (recovering from surgery in kennel on left) needs help with her stinky chicken dinner

Nestle lulled almost to sleep by head and ear stroking

Zzzzzzzzzz

November 18, 2024

Peek-a-boo!

“We’d like a triple cheeseburger & extra large fries & a peanut butter milkshake.”

Bubba retrieves the ball…

…and Nestle gets to chew it on return

Finding a ball on her own…

Showing that stick who’s boss!

Meditating on the day…

Lights out…

November 17, 2024

“Was I boring you Astro? Feeling’s mutual…”

Naptime buddies

I feel like I’m being watched…

“I’m just following Bubba…”

“…naaaaah….”

Both hunting for the ball….

“I wuv this stick….”

“…I wuv this stick even more…”

“Wait for me Bubba!!!”

“Where’s the ball?! Where’d it go?!”

“Ball secured, let’s jet Nestle!”

“My turn Bubba! Gimme the ball!”

”Come on dude!”

“Gimme! I can hear you squishing it Bubba!”

“Thank you, I’ll take it from here lady”

“Am I in your way Astro?”

November 16, 2024

Astro meets Nestle

Astro having trouble navigating around Nestle

“No treat, no sit”

Wet leaves underfoot

Wandering down cardboard lane…

Waiting for me to download photos from the wildlife camera…

In the final stretch….

Ball frenzy!

Getting feisty!

Keeps intercepting Bubba’s feeding ball!

Bubba is always very interested in eye drop time

11:30pm Sleep standing … “Zzzzzzzzzzzz…..’

November 1, 2024

“Wake me when you’re done doing the dishes”

Neither rain nor sleet nor snow will keep us from our trails….

“Where to next?”

Nestle was tired of waiting for me to finish pulling ivy and just headed back to the house!

Two dog nap time

October 31, 2024 

HALLOWEEN!

“Did you say Sweet-potato treat?!”

“If I must…”

Wearing a little Halloween bling

“Smells wet…”

Navigating around the ferns…

Red cedar needles underfoot

Just chilling under the cedars

“Wake me when it’s dinner time…zzzzzzzzz….”

October 30, 2024

Busy busy day, so didn’t capture any photos of Nestle until we moved into our couch potato hour. Tried to get her to join me and Bubba on the trail, but she did her business, went up the stairs, and couldn’t be coaxed down. Today she wanted to stay warm and dry I guess!

“Sounds like you’re eating peanuts!”

“Smells like you’re eating peanuts!”

“Gimme a peanut!”

October 29, 2024

Starting the morning with dueling grunting pigs!

James is no match for Nestle’s grip & shake

Rain won’t keep us off the trails!

Up, Nestle, up and over!

Resting up for my mid-day snack & eye drops

October 28, 2024

Come on, let’s keep going!

Something’s in the air

That’s a lot of ivy we pulled today!

Dare you to take this grunting pig from me

Warring over a grunting pig!

Good night! Let me know when breakfast is ready!

October 26, 2024

Make yourself useful and scratch me!

Helping with a Halloween costume

I sense we are not alone

Fall leaves

Following Bubba & Jeff into uncharted territory

This walk is snifferific!

October 25, 2024

Ok, I sat, where’s my treat?

Stopping for a sniff

Walking on newly fallen leaves

Trail buddies

Squeaky koala is so fun!

Just resting our weary heads

I’m sure that bed is comfy, but I prefer the floor

September 21, 2022

Cooking = playtime at our feet

With a little coaxing, climbed over a log

Listening to the birds

Passing our wee frog rock

Douglas fir?

Around the stump we go

Stump with springboard notch in distance

Is it my turn yet?!?!

September 20, 2024

Checking out the tomatoes

Not interested in the cat nip

First sniff on the new trails

Passing the giant big leaf maple tree

Passing some conks

Passing under a mossy arch

Deftly clambering over tree roots

The home stretch!

Recovering after the hike

Getting feisty!

Nestle wants to play, Bubba wants to nap

Nobody is stronger than Nestle!

Stop staring at the TV, and pet us!

August 25, 2024

Getting frisky!

Head poking battle!

Hello?

Sniff sniff…

Where’d she go?!

Getting nappy …

Waiting patiently for Gary…

August 24, 2024

That’s the spot!

Why won’t you let me walk and lay on your cards?!

Trampoline umbrella

Follow the yellow chip road …

Sniffing the appropriately named Stinky Bob weeds

Walked down Ellingsen Rd a bit…

I got two dinners tonight because Jeff didn’t know Anna already fed me!

August 23, 2024

Managing the steps on her own!

Our faithful kitchen helpers

Lost patience waiting for food to fall on floor in kitchen

Me and my shadow….

Gimme some popcorn!

Nestle gets really feisty if you scratch her neck or head during tug of war - growls and shakes her head - fierce puppy!

August 14, 2024

Listening to nature in our woods

Unsure about the walk

Really want to go down neighbor’s driveway!

Back indoors at last

Waiting for Dad…

Vegan turk’y smells delightful!

Vegan turk’y smells delightful!

Sniff…

Sniff…

Gotta mark wherever Bubba marks!

Gotta mark wherever Bubba marks!

Bubba wiggles in on any affection we give Nestle, lol

Waiting for the band to show up

August 5, 2024

Took Nestle on a walk about 3/4 of the way to Phelps from our driveway. She didn’t seem into it … turned around and stood while we were only 1/2 up the driveway. On Ellingsen she’d stop and not want to continue. Was very interested by the sound of cars .. must be looking forward to Gary’s return today!

Loves to sniff the aptly named weed Stinky Robert

August 4, 2024

Listening to nature

We meet again!

Trying to charm her way into a bag of peanuts
