Barbara and her cattle dog Casey

Here is a photo of my walking friend Barbara. For many years I would see her down on the beach while walking her own little sheltie "Tillie." At the same time she would walk her neighbor's dog "Star," another larger sheltie. Those dogs were so mellow that it was easy for her to handle two at once.

Now that Tillie has passed on, Barbara has a new cattle dog named Casey. Casey is very sweet, beautiful and frisky.

It appears that Barbara, like me, gets out walking every day regardless of the weather. Today is bitterly cold, although the snow has retreated.

This morning Barbara and I were the only walkers to be seen on the beach.
