Persnickety

You want me to eat this?

Butt out!

My brother Ivan has a cute butt, don't you think? Look at that tail go!

Hand holding

Me and Daisy are best buds...

Innocent...

How do you know I did it?

Libertad!

What fun! The air conditioning repairman came over yesterday to work on our home system, but he didn't know that whenever someone opens the front door, I make a run for it! Long story short, I had a ball! After I darted out, grandma started yelling for mom, who promptly dropped what she was doing (gardening) and took off after me. Then the air conditioning man joined in the chase! I covered most of the neighborhood; whenever mom called me, I ran to her at top speed, then veered off at the last minute! Mom fell once; the repairman worked up a heavy sweat! I got some much-needed exercise. Then suddenly, mom drove by in her car, opened the door, and asked me if I wanted to go for a RIDE! A RIDE, MY FAVORITE THING! So I hopped in, and the next thing I knew, I was back in the house. Grandma was mad, the repairman was panting and drinking lemonade, and mom was scolding and hugging me. But it was all worth it. Real excitement!!!

Victim of brontophobia

And I'm not coming out from under the kitchen table until the thunderstorm is over...

Short ribs

Me and Ivan got down on some raw short ribs this morning. Very tasty.

I am Neckbone

Nom...nom...nom...

Goose poop!

Go figure. Here I take the time to go rolling in the lovely, fresh poop that the Canada geese left at our pond this afternoon, then rush into the house to show Mom what a good girl I am. Instead of affirmation/adoration, I'm hurled into the tub! Mom DOUBLE shampooed me. I've never heard her use that kind of language before...
Goes to show, humans will forever be a mystery, wrapped in an enigma.

Gaaa!!!!

OK. Take a deep breath and relax. Mom just brought home a new iRobot, a vacuum cleaner with a computerized brain. This morning, she walked over to the little round, yellow thing, pressed a button on its back and, gaaa!!! It took off around the upstairs rooms, bandoliers roaring like some kind of above level ground, futuristic ogre. I quickly took refuge on the bed; Daisy followed it around intently as it sucked up the dust bunnies, and Ivan (pictured) launched a full-out C&C attack on the bugger. As if I didn’t hate the Dyson enough. Now, this. Damage assessment: Code Red.

Got a thirst

My pal Kayla moved to Palm Springs, California with her Mom recently and I miss her! Her Mom sent us a pic of Kayla getting a drink at a water fountain. It's HOT in Palm Springs!

Strange beauty

Mom took this blur of a photo of me running with one of my many, many toys. But look at the weird coloration & effects! I AM a bit of an ethereal beauty...

Sunset at Hammo beach

Daisy and Otto

What fun! Me, mom, Ivan and Daisy met our pug buddies Otto and Emmet (along with Otto's mom, Linnea) at Hammonasset Beach at sunset tonight for a playdate! There was much butt sniffing, mock fighting, growling, leash tangling, and rolling in the sand. Life is good.

My pug buds

Otto and Emett. I love you! Play date soon!

I'm trying to sleep here...

Here, under the covers, is where I get all my serious thinking done.

Close shave

Before

After, with tongue.

In the woods

Please. I have a shy bladder.

Teddy, Ivan and I do as we please. Don't we, guys?

Carpe carne







Chicken thighs!

Spring gardening


Well, Mom turned the compost pile this morning, and I came along (with Ivan and Daisy) to oversee the operation. Believe me you, the smells were heavenly! I just love a compost pile in spring. I played in the woods a bit afterward. Smell that spring air!

Balanced diet

Spinach is good.

Cheese is better.

Food-wise, Mom makes sure I get a little of everything (within reason). I love cheese! And I even eat spinach off a fork. But I like cheese better. This afternoon, we had both. Yums!

Derision

I loathe these infantile, jejune blogsites...
