Good morning! The black version of the Belgian Shepherd is called Groenendael:

The Groenendael variety is long-haired, it has a solid black double coat; the outer coat is straight and particularly long around the shoulders, neck and chest; they have short hair on the face, and well feathered legs and tail.

All four subtypes of the Belgian Shepherd are very smart and high-energy. The Malinois (short-haired, light brown) is least suited to home life and most often found in military or law enforcement occupations.

(I just learned this: I'm writing about them for the Special Animal Friend column.)

Anubis was a gorgeous dog, and she loved to photo-bomb anyone with a camera.

Las Vegas must be opening up because there are commercials for some of the casinos showing up on TV. Also, Zion is open, evidently wide open, because folks are falling in record numbers. The medevac choppers fly over the complex almost every day, lately, headed for the medical center in St George, and if necessary, to the trauma center in Vegas.

Newcomers to hiking and the great outdoors. Or, as my late mum would say, “greenhorns from the woods.”
