Woody after a long walk

Woody isn't as helpful as his predecessors, Chessie and Mocha, in the garden, as he has an affinity for cat poop (unfortunately abundant in our urban neighborhood).

My gardening assistant

This is NOT a good thing, as he's prone to (expensive) digestive upsets, so he's now banished from wandering around not on a leash. (Even in our large yard in our former house in the Piedmont, he was not to be trusted...)

But, he's a wonderful fellow, and totally beautiful. 

His role in life is to make people happy when they look at him, we think. 

Here, he's welcoming folks to the Well-Bred Bakery, in Weaverville, NC, after a long walk with a good friend.
