On March 20 at 2:15 ish p.m. Spring officially arrives in Northwest Montana.

Meanwhile…

And then…

Auggie and I have “adjusted” to the loss of Bear. Bear’s presence as well as Zack, Gus, Bob and Karl’s have been heavily felt … in a good and comforting way!

And in a little more than 3 weeks time, a new boy will be joining us. An English Shepherd, to be called Emmett.

I fly to Oregon on 4/8 and back with Emmett on 4/9. The family Summers will go forward with Auggie and Emmett while never, ever forgetting Zack, Gus, Bob, Karl and Bear.

This pup, or one like him, will be our Emmett.

Almost Spring!
