And them there’s Cash. One wouldn’t believe it by this photograph but he is a fierce guard dog. He’s kinda reverted to his wolf ways, though. He has taken to sleeping during the day under the cabin’s cool, stacked rock foundation and comes out about sunset to socialize and roust about all night long. He’s my baby, I’ve had him 12 years-he used to ride in the saddle with me as a pup.

They really want to come in the Airstream….nope!! My dogs used to sleep on the bed but now they sleep cozied up under the stars. Lars (our yellow lab) has his post in a huge basket on the front porch. Carmelita the adorable little pup you see in the foreground of this picture sleeps happily under the airstream. I’m not cruel, they are romping all day in the creek and the fields-Carmelita goes from chasing butterflies all day to fireflies at dusk. Too much stinky hound by the end of the day! Now once we are in the cabin…..

Dormer no dormer? I don’t want to add any dormers, wanna keep the cabin as close to the original structure as possible….I like the low-slung line of the roof just as it is!
