Sawyer's Pictures

I have had a request for more pictures of Sawyer. Today we went for a drive to the Minority Village, which created the perfect photo opportunity for him to show off his stuff. Not to sound like a jerk, but if you want information on the Minority Village, look it up on the web. It can describe the place better than I can. All I can say is, "WOW, these people have a beautiful culture. And the history of this culture that has lasted thousands of years is unbelievable." Something you will not see in the United States, unless you look at the Anasasi Indians of the four corners region, but their civilization is extinct. The Bai, Di, Yi, Hani, Tibetan and the fifty-one other minorities still exist today and have a great influence on the people and culture of the Yunnan Province. Anyway, more pictures of Sawyer.

His first ride in a stroller (at least by us).

Staring in amazement at the riders on horseback.

Great pics! What's great is to see the "wonder chain." He wonders (and wanders) at all the new sights and sounds and you wonder at his experience. Very cool.

As long as you're taking requests [wink], how big is Sawyer? Is he fitting in to all the clothes you brought? Are you two getting "strong like bull" carrying him around?

cheers,
k, f, & xq

He looks like he is enjoying himself very much and it is awesome he is so curious. HE is going to love the pups!!! What a beautiful place, so peaceful. I will have to visit. I see we are in red sox gear?? :>) Love Ya, Kim

It makes my heart melt that he's having a smooth transition. He knows you love him~he can feel it and it shows.

Take care!
