We had a lazy day hanging around the house, but Nico enjoyed hanging out in the yard by himself.

Shelly has been away for more than a week, and Nico is looking forward to her returning home this evening.

When we bought this bench, we had no idea it would be Nico’s favorite play to lay.

Every time I see Nico sitting in the yard like this, all I can think is that I need to commission someone to make a lawn statue of him.

This afternoon, we had chickens and deer in our yard, and Nico was very excited.

Nico and I visited friends camping at Cedar River Flow. It was a nice afternoon to sit by a fire.

Nico enjoyed swimming on Lower Saranac Lake this afternoon.

Nico likes to survey the yard from this rock.

It was a beautiful day in the Adirondacks.

Nico’s week has been a bit boring, and it will continue for several more days.

Nico’s friend came over for another visit today.

Nico had a yard visitor today.

When you are a good boy who has posed for photos for 1,596 straight days, you know the camera means you’re going to get a reward.

When Shelly leaves Nico and me home alone for a day, we know how to have fun in the yard.

Nico and I ran around the yard together this evening.

Nico has been full of energy all afternoon and evening.

I can’t explain this pose other than to say Nico is a weirdo.

Living a wonderful life.

Nico politely asking to go outside to chase deer.

This weekend would have been ideal for Nico to swim, but there was a harmful algal bloom at our normal swimming spot on Lower Saranac Lake on Saturday.
