The Poplars are the first to change. They're followed closely by the Hickories. Millions of bright yellow suns falling from the sky to float in an ocean of browns and grays. The Oaks are still green but thousands of Cinammon Ferns have changed to the golden brown color of their name. The sun will soon set and the sky is dark blue. The kind of blue you only get when the air is cool and dry. It is breathtakingly beautiful. As I sit and then lay back on the hillside, just breathing, Lexus licks my spleen via my mouth. Dragons have nothing on Lexus in the breath department. The battle is engaged. Lexus is worthy but not a real match. I have her by 60 pounds and quickly have her on her back between my legs. As the belly rub ensues, I realize that this is a handicap match! Trojan is treating my left ear as if it were a chew toy. Alright buddy, you asked for it. I hold Lexus with my legs while I sweep Trojans front legs rolling him down the hill. They're parrallel and I lay on them both with legs across their bellies rubbing their ears. There is much contented grunting. Trojan is to strong to hold like that for long so I release Lexus as he escapes and they run off in 'Demon Dog Mode' for a high speed game of tag. As they tear across the hillside and I worry about broken legs. I glance directly up the hill. I don't know how long she has sat there but Morrigan is watching from only five feet away. Her big tail is wagging slowly. The expression in her dark brown eyes is of pride and love. I am the luckiest man alive. I go to her. Its time for another belly rub.
