Gratuitous Dog Pictures - Early Fall Edition

So it's been a little while since our last batch of gratuitous dog photos, so here we go...

Ryder loves laundry baskets

Ryder is a bit quirky.

...and loves nesting on my bed

And a little bit nuts.

...and loves a good sun spot

But he's ours...

...and loves a nice warm fall day

...and I wouldn't trade him for the world.

The girls and I have this conversation frequently:

• But dad, you said you didn't want a dog.
• I don't.
• But you love Ryder.
• Of course I do.
• So you want a dog?
• No.
• But you love him?
• Yes.
• And we're keeping him?
• Of course we are. He's family. Ohana means family, and family means no one left behind... (thanks Lilo).
