Spring is here!

Spring is here, and Daisy and I have been having a grand time, because Spring means tennis ball time! It also means that I have to show the wee beastie how to catch a tennis ball...

Daisy seems to think that the proper approach is to swat at the ball.

Or catch it with her snooter...

And clear, she needs some help...

THAT isn't right!

Watch me, little Demon Dog!

Daisy also seems to think that tennis ball time involves bitey-ing me.  Most of the time I run away from the crazed wee demon (I am seriously getting too old for this crazy puppy behavior ALL the TIME!), but occasionally I like to show her who's boss!

Oh, c'mon on!

She thinks she's so tough...

So I have to show her my teeth to let her know I'm still in charge!

Oy.

Take THAT, you crazed Hell Hound!

*sigh*

Watch again, little dog.

I show her, I tell her, and still she is a doofus!

Of course, it's even worse when she gets in my way when I'm trying to catch the ball!

She does pose well, however.

She looks SO innocent, but I know better!

Of course, I pose VERY well!

Have I mentioned yet how much my sister is a doofus?

Mom is quite thrilled with this next photo. Apparently she sees this as proof that the mind meld that she performed between Daisy and Abby has 'taken'.  If, I guess, throwing yourself into the air with wild abandon and an attempt to catch the tennis ball is the essence of Abby (and, honestly, it is), then I think Mom's right - the mind meld worked....

Finally here is Daisy's 9 month photo. No, she doesn't seem to be much bigger than last month, and yes, I have been working on that sneer.

Nine months.

Here's here 8 month photo for comparison.  You can see how much more enthusiastic I am now than I was a month ago! Heehee!

Daisy at 8 months.

Have a great week!
