Of Moosies and Acrobatic Fails and Whatnot

If you couldn't tell from the title, we've had Yet Another Super Exciting Week!

The weather is slowly changing here (it actually rained on and off much of this week, to Mom and Dad's dismay, as apparently riding their bye-sickles in the rain is not considered "fun"), and with the changes in the weather, some of wild friends stop by the house.   This week, Momma Moose and her babies stopped by.

After a quick hello, we dashed back inside and Mom took about 87 million pictures.  I'll just give you the highlights...

Our Mom was very happy to see the moose working on (and I quote) "those pesky aspens".

Baby moosie siblings.

Mom and Dad started calling the two youngsters "Frick and Frack" because somehow, apparently, they reminded Mom and Dad of a certain pair of 'doodle siblings.  Since they couldn't POSSIBLY be talking about us (could they?!?) they must have been talking about our buddies Murphy and Stanley.

Because Abby and I are nothing like those young moosies....

I see Absolutely No Resemblance Whatsoever.

The moosies continued to nosh on our foliage (and were not at all deterred by the fence that keeps Abby from running down the hillside to greet doggies on the street).

At one point, it looked like Momma and family were going to settle in for an after-dinner nap.

However, they seemed to be unsettled by our on-going, enthusiastic greetings from the porch and finally moved on to eat someone else's trees.  We're certain they'll be back!

In between the raindrops, we've been getting in some frisbee action.

Note the focus on concentration.

Yes, I DO get in some frisbee action, when my sister isn't being a total frisbee hog!

But that doesn't stop my sister from photo-bombing my frisbee actions...

And since Abby is a frisbee hog, I feel Absolutely No Guilt in posting this next video.  Actually, this video is an excellent example of how often Abby tends to sacrifice the end result of frisbee-catching for a vicarious display of 'doodle acrobatics.

For those of you getting the bloggie via email, here is the direct link:  http://youtu.be/l-KAMhGPwvE
Make sure you have the volume on for this movie.  While the action is fun and all, the accompanying soundtrack really makes the movie.  Now sit back, grab your popcorn, and enjoy!


Heheheh! 

After posting the video on Facebook, the Thundering Herd found a cartoon that seemed to remind them of a certain Flying Hippobottomus.  Because we don't want to step on anyone's copyrighted toes, please know that we are not taking any credit for the cartoon, and strongly encourage you to go visit the cartoonists' website to look at all their nifty cartoons.  Here's a direct link to their cartoons:  http://www.creators.com/comics/dogs-of-c-kennel.html

Clearly Abby needs a software update.  Or glasses, as Mrs. Wild Dingo suggested.  Heehee!

Mom is still working on getting good 'stop action' photos, so expect to see more movies in the future!  In the meantime, have a great week, and keep those frisbees flying!
