My Tuesdays with Valla

I've been seeing more of the woodlot lately.  Valla, the new dog, is quieter when she's tired, so I make about three trips a day back to the campsite.  She was pretty well trained--when she's not chasing something, she stays right at my heels.  I'll post dog pictures later.  Meanwhile, the green ash is in leaf (before the end of May--pretty good!), and the maples are putting on real girth.  So far, Valla has bitten Frey on the foreleg (he was very downcast for a day) and Ollie on the tail (badly--Pam's been over twice).  Does not play well with others. . . .
